Can women drink Chinese medicine during menstruation?

Although many people will choose Western medicine treatment when they first find the symptoms, Western medicine is usually unable to cure many chronic diseases. Therefore, many people tend to use Chinese medicine for treatment. Especially for some women, if they have endocrine imbalance or some gynecological inflammation, they usually need to take some Chinese medicine. The women's menstrual period is quite special. At this time, everyone must take care of the body and avoid irritating factors. So can women take Chinese medicine during menstruation?

If the Chinese herbal medicine used by women has the effect of promoting blood circulation and unblocking meridians, then everyone should try not to take it, because after taking it, it is likely to increase the amount of blood loss during menstruation, especially for some women who originally have heavy menstrual flow and are in a state of blood heat. We must understand that people with qi deficiency cannot absorb blood. If there are therapeutic drugs with the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, everyone should be more cautious when taking them.

Also, if people take Chinese herbal medicine with cool properties, the effect of clearing away heat and removing fire is also very obvious, but this kind of medicine may cause cold uterus in women, aggravate menstrual pain, and reduce menstrual volume. Therefore, at this time, everyone should not take medicinal materials with extremely high heat properties. In fact, they should be taken with caution, because this may cause women to get more serious internal heat during menstruation.

Unless the doctor instructs women to take Chinese medicine during menstruation, otherwise, everyone needs to stop taking medication. Also, during menstruation, everyone should do some medical care. First of all, you must have a positive attitude and not be depressed. Eat more nutritious foods with light taste and drink some brown sugar ginger water, which can warm the uterus and promote the discharge of accumulated blood. During menstruation, everyone must avoid cold and spicy foods. Only by doing these measures can you avoid menstrual disorders.

Now we all know that women cannot take Chinese medicine during menstruation. Taking Chinese medicine during menstruation may cause women to have excessive menstrual flow and prolonged menstruation, and may also cause some women's menstrual pain to become more severe. Therefore, unless the doctor prescribes, even if you take Chinese medicine on a regular basis, you should stop taking it during the menstrual period.
