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? What kind of medication can help restore it?One more question: Is it okay to use feminine hygiene products like Wufejie during menstruation to wash the vagina?
Doctor's answer:
Try taking some blood-activating and blood-stasis-resolving herbs. For example, Salvia miltiorrhiza and Leonurus cardiaca. Leonurus cardiaca can invigorate blood, regulate menstruation, promote diuresis, and reduce swelling. It is used for irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, menstrual retention, and incomplete postpartum bleeding.
