What are the drugs for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis during menstruation?

If women have smooth menstruation during their menstrual period, it can effectively relieve various menstrual discomfort problems. However, many women will experience blood stasis, so of course they need to focus on promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis at this time. However, we all know that because they are in their menstrual period, it is not suitable to take medicine blindly, otherwise it is easy to cause more adverse effects on health. Therefore, some blood circulation and blood stasis-removing drugs should be used with more caution during menstruation.

Can blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing drugs be used during menstruation? Do not use blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing drugs during menstruation, as they will increase menstrual blood flow and cause anemia.

Generally speaking, blood-enriching health products and blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing drugs should be discontinued during the menstrual period, but many women do not understand this and find that their menstrual flow suddenly increases. In severe cases, it may even cause severe anemia or heavy bleeding during menstruation. Using blood-tonifying and blood-activating drugs during menstruation will, on the one hand, increase the flow of menstrual blood, thereby causing unnecessary excessive menstrual bleeding; on the other hand, menstrual bleeding may also affect the efficacy of the drugs.

Blood-replenishing health products are mainly oral liquids, while blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing drugs are divided into two types: external application and oral administration, especially traditional Chinese medicine. Many Chinese patent medicines that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis also have anticoagulant and antithrombotic effects. After use, they will dilate blood vessels and accelerate blood flow. Changes in blood circulation will further cause excessive menstrual blood loss. There are also many vasodilator drugs in Western medicine, such as aspirin, which may cause heavy menstrual bleeding.

If you want to use some blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicines, it is not recommended to use them during the menstrual period. You should use the medicines before or after the menstrual period. Moreover, you should not use some medicines blindly. You should consult a professional doctor so that you can truly achieve the best results and let you spend your menstrual period easily and happily.
