Generally speaking, if excessive menstrual bleeding occurs after taking dydrogesterone tablets, it is not a major concern as long as the bleeding completely stops within a week. In cases of heavy bleeding, traditional Chinese medicine can be used to regulate the condition by reinforcing qi, invigorating the spleen, promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, and stopping bleeding. Generally, Baogong Zhi Xue Granules and Xueping Capsules can be used as adjunctive treatments. Additionally, in cases of significant blood loss, it is essential to actively prevent anemia by consuming blood-nourishing and qi-tonifying foods such as jujubes. Furthermore, adequate rest should be observed in daily life, avoiding excessive fatigue, as physical exhaustion may easily lead to excessive menstruation. Avoid undue stress as well.
