Dysmenorrhea patients generally should not take Wujibai Feng Pill or Xiaoyao Pill. However, if a patient feels unwell, these medications may be used appropriately for regulation, especially when symptoms are possibly caused by endocrine disorders. During menstruation, hormonal fluctuations intensify and the body's resistance decreases accordingly, so special attention should be paid to medication use. If menstrual flow significantly increases or symptoms such as abdominal bloating and pain occur during the use of Wujibai Feng Pill or Xiaoyao Pill, the patient should stop taking the medication immediately and seek medical advice.
