Patient's question:
Hello!I am taking Chinese medicine for (regulating) my period, which hasn't come for three months (amenorrhea). I heard that motherwort can treat amenorrhea, so I plan to take it. Can I take motherwort at the same time as my Chinese medicine?
First follow-up question: Hello!
I have been taking Chinese medicine continuously and have also had acupuncture for regulating my period, but there has been no improvement at all. Later, I had to take progesterone, which did come, but the bleeding was so minimal (just enough for one panty liner) and lasted only two days. This makes me even more frustrated. What should I do?
Doctor's answer:
Hello: TCM treatment for amenorrhea requires syndrome differentiation. Do not take medicine randomly, as this will affect the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine.
