Patient's question:
Medical Description: I am 33 years old. In the past two years, my menstrual flow has been reduced, but the cycle is normal. Can I take Tiao Jing Zhi Bao Wan for this? Spots have appeared around my eyes and forehead.History of Treatment and Effect: Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) says it is due to qi deficiency, blood stagnation, and excessive liver fire. I took Chinese medicine last year, but it was ineffective.
Help Needed: Is it possible to take Tiao Jing Zhi Bao Wan for this condition?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, if your menstrual flow is light, you can use some blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medications during your period. You can start using them 1-2 days before your period. When your period is nearing its end, you can eat jujubes and drink brown sugar water, as these have the effect of nourishing blood. Therefore, there is no harm, and it is also impossible for these small foods to cause obesity.During your period, it is important to maintain cleanliness and hygiene of the external genitalia. Wash the external genitalia 1-2 times a day and change the sanitary pad every 1-2 hours.
Moreover, it is recommended to undergo home treatment. Some beverages may increase anxiety and restlessness, so it is best to drink them in moderation. Avoid eating foods with extreme temperature changes, such as those that are too hot or too cold. Instead, focus on consuming high-fiber foods to nourish your blood.
