Patient's question:
Doctor, for the past six months, I have been experiencing diarrhea every month when I have my period. Could you please explain what's going on? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Your symptoms should be considered as indigestion, which may be caused by exposure to cold. It can lead to diarrhea and requires treatment with digestive aids. It is recommended to take Lactic Acid Bacteria Tablets, Vitamin B1 Tablets, and Montmorillonite Powder. Rest and drink plenty of warm water. Your diet should be light, avoiding spicy, irritating, greasy, and fried foods. Pay attention to keeping warm and avoid catching a cold. It is advised not to consume cold drinks or ice cream before your menstrual period. Instead, drink a decoction made with brown sugar, jujubes, and ginger slices, which can warm the meridians, dispel cold, and promote blood circulation.
