Patient's question:
On the third day of my period, I ate a spoonful of Gu Yuan paste. Today is the 6th day, and there's still a little bit of blood, but it's dark in color.Medical history and treatment effects:
I'm usually fine, but I've noticed some spotting after eating Gu Yuan paste.
Help needed:
Does eating Gu Yuan paste cause spotting?
Doctor's answer:
The solidified yuan ointment has a warm property and is used by people to invigorate blood and replenish the blood. If taken during the menstrual period, it may increase the amount of blood flow during this period or interfere with future menstruation, causing menstrual disorders. Therefore, if women want to replenish blood, boost energy, nourish the body, and improve complexion, they need to wait until the menstrual period has completely ended before taking it. During the menstrual period, women should pay attention to dietary restrictions and avoid cold foods. It is best to consume light and easily digestible foods. During the period, it is recommended to strengthen exercise and enhance physical fitness, but avoid strenuous exercise.
