Patient's question:
Can abnormal menstrual blood be stopped with hemostatic medication?Doctor's answer:
Hello: You can take hemostatic drugs in moderation, but it is essential to do so under the guidance of a physician. At the same time, you should pay attention to the following:1. Maintain a positive mood, avoid mental stress and emotional fluctuations. Some individuals may experience lower abdominal distension, lower back pain, breast tenderness, mild diarrhea, fatigue, drowsiness, emotional instability, irritability, or tendency to depression during their menstrual period. These are all normal and there is no need to be overly anxious.
2. Pay attention to hygiene to prevent infection. Keep the external genital area clean. Sexual intercourse is absolutely forbidden during menstruation. Pay attention to keeping warm to avoid cold exposure. Avoid overexertion. Those with heavy menstrual flow should avoid consuming brown sugar.
3. Underwear should be soft, made of cotton, and have good ventilation. Wash and change it frequently. Ensure that the underwear is dried in the sun.
4. Avoid cold, sour, spicy, and other irritating foods. Drink plenty of warm water to maintain regular bowel movements. Those with blood heat should consume more fresh fruits and vegetables before their period and avoid foods that stimulate fire, such as scallions, garlic, chives, and ginger. Those with poor qi and blood should increase their nutrition regularly, such as milk, eggs, soy milk, pork liver, spinach, pork, chicken, and mutton, while avoiding cold fruits and vegetables.
