Drinking Chinese medicine to advance menstruation

Traditional Chinese medicine has a long history in our country. It is based on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine and prescribes medicines according to the medicinal properties of the herbs. Traditional Chinese medicine treats both the symptoms and the root cause, and often achieves gentler and more stable results than Western medicine. There are generally contraindications to taking Chinese medicine, and it may also have a certain impact on some body functions. So for women, doctors usually ask whether it is the menstrual period. So is it normal to have early menstruation after taking Chinese medicine?

Early menstruation is caused by blood heat from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine. You already have blood heat. If there are Chinese herbal medicines that promote blood heat and activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, these may aggravate the early menstruation. But you don't need to worry about this phenomenon, which usually occurs in the early stages. Chinese medicine can regulate your period in the later stages and restore it to normal. Pay attention to the observation of the second menstrual cycle.

Caused by excess yang energy in the body
