Menstrual hemostatic medications typically include vitamin K, Gongxuening (a traditional Chinese medicine), tranexamic acid, and others. If menstrual bleeding is excessively heavy or the menstrual period is abnormally prolonged, hemostatic medications may be used under a physician’s guidance to help manage these symptoms. However, such medications should not be taken long-term, as this may disrupt normal menstruation. During menstruation, it is essential to maintain proper local hygiene to prevent bacterial infections caused by inadequate cleansing.
