Whether women with irregular menstruation can take Yi Mu Cao Granules depends on the underlying cause. If the patient's irregular menstruation is due to light menstrual flow or delayed periods, Yi Mu Cao Granules may be used as it targets these specific symptoms. However, for patients experiencing heavy menstrual bleeding or early onset of menstrual cycles, Yi Mu Cao Granules are not recommended, as they might further increase menstrual flow.
