Disease description:
It's too cold, so my stomach feels a bit uncomfortable. However, I'm still in the menstrual period. Can I take Sanjiu Weitai during menstruation?
You can take Sanjiu Weitai during your menstrual period. This medication has the effects of clearing heat, detoxifying, relieving cold, and promoting blood circulation. Since blood loss naturally occurs during menstruation and the body requires increased blood replenishment, taking this medicine is acceptable. However, you should avoid consuming raw, cold, or spicy foods before and after your period, as they may disrupt your menstrual cycle. In severe cases, such dietary habits could lead to abdominal pain during subsequent menstrual periods. Therefore, it is important to seek medical evaluation and treatment early to prevent worsening of symptoms.
