Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Could you please explain why medication is not recommended during menstruation?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally speaking, the body is relatively weak during the menstrual period. Taking medication during this time can affect the body. It is advisable to drink more warm water appropriately, wear a mask when going out to prevent the stimulation of cold air. During the menstrual period, it is generally not recommended to take blood-activating and Qi-moving medications. It is best not to take any medication. For the sake of treatment, other medications can be taken in moderation. Avoid spicy, cold, and irritating foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
