Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Is the reduced menstrual flow and dark color related to the antibiotic I took the day before my period? Please advise what medication can help restore normalcy.Additionally, could you please clarify if it's safe to use feminine hygiene products like Fuyinjie during menstruation?
Doctor's answer:
Try taking some blood-activating and blood-stasis-dispersing herbs. For example, Salvia miltiorrhiza and Leonurus japonicus. Leonurus japonicus can invigorate blood, regulate menstruation, promote diuresis, and reduce swelling. It is used for irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, menstrual retention, and incomplete postpartum discharge.
