Can I use the Sanfu贴 (Sanfu patch) during my menstrual period?

Whether it is appropriate to use Sanfu patches during menstruation depends on individual body constitution. Sanfu patches contain various pungent-warm traditional Chinese herbal ingredients, which have effects of warming the body, dispelling cold, promoting blood circulation, and removing blood stasis. For women with light menstrual flow or symptoms such as cold uterus, applying Sanfu patches during menstruation may yield beneficial therapeutic effects. However, for those who already experience heavy menstrual bleeding, using Sanfu patches might cause further increase in flow and lead to menstrual irregularities. Please consult a physician before using Sanfu patches to ensure safety and effectiveness.
