Is Motherwort Granules effective for light menstrual flow?

Ligustrazine Granules have a certain effect on scanty menstruation. Ligustrazine Granules are commonly used traditional Chinese medicine preparations in clinical practice; their main component is Leonurus japonicus (Motherwort), which functions to invigorate blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and regulate the meridians. During menstruation, if the blood flow is relatively light, taking Ligustrazine Granules may help improve the condition of scanty menstruation through its effects of activating blood circulation and regulating menstruation. Scanty menstruation may have various causes, such as blood stasis, endocrine disorders, or ovarian dysfunction. For cases of scanty menstruation caused by blood stasis, Ligustrazine Granules demonstrate relatively significant therapeutic effects. However, if the scanty menstruation is due to other reasons, such as excessive weight loss or endocrine disorders, using Ligustrazine Granules alone may not achieve satisfactory results. It is recommended to first visit a hospital for a gynecological examination to determine the specific cause of scanty menstruation and, under a doctor's guidance, select appropriate medications for treatment.
