Dr. Liu Xiuyan
During menstruation, it is generally safe to take Shengmai Yin oral solution, which typically does not interfere with the menstrual cycle. However, individuals with weakened physical constitution must pay special attention to keeping warm and avoid exposure to cold—particularly during menstruation. Cold exposure may predispose one to common colds and menstrual disorders, such as abdominal pain, blood clots in menstrual flow, dark-colored menstrual blood, reduced menstrual volume, and irregular menstrual cycles. It is important to enhance nutritional intake, especially by consuming iron-rich foods, which help strengthen the body and improve resistance.
