Does the amount of brown sugar water increase during menstruation? Will it cause weight gain?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Irregular menstruation is a common gynecological disorder. It is characterized by abnormal menstrual cycles or bleeding volume, or abdominal pain and systemic symptoms before or during menstruation. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is generally related to the liver, and treatment is usually based on the Siwu Decoction as the foundation, with modifications as needed.
