2. Can I take Chinese medicine during menstruation?

Menstruation is a special period for women, and medication should not be too cold or too hot, or too spicy or too dispersing.

We must be calm. In the use of traditional Chinese medicine, it is clearly pointed out that there are some medicines that should be used with caution and some that are prohibited for women during menstruation. That is to say, some medicines cannot be taken during menstruation. In what specific situations can traditional Chinese medicine be taken and in what situations can it not be taken? This depends on the individual's physical strength and condition.

First of all, blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing drugs should not be used in excessive doses or at all during women's menstrual period. If used improperly, it will cause prolonged menstruation, heavy bleeding, and lead to weak Qi and blood. However, it is not absolutely forbidden to use blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing drugs during menstruation. If the dysmenorrhea is indeed caused by blood stasis and cold stagnation, blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing drugs can be used during menstruation to dredge the meridians and achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Secondly, Chinese medicine with cold properties should be used with caution during the menstrual period. During the menstrual period, menstrual blood gathers in the Chong and Ren meridians, which can easily lead to spleen deficiency. Excessive use of cold medicines will damage the spleen and stomach yang energy, affect the spleen and stomach function, and cause fatigue, weakness, loose stools and other symptoms of spleen deficiency. The symptoms of spleen and stomach deficiency and coldness will be aggravated, thereby damaging the body's positive energy.

3. Things to note when doing daily life during menstruation

During the menstrual period, you should try to avoid swimming, taking a bath, and having sexual intercourse. The sanitary napkins you use must be clean and soft, otherwise it may encourage bacteria to ascend into the uterine cavity and cause inflammation. Failure to treat it in time may lead to infertility in the future. As for the use of sanitary tampons (i.e. internal tampons), in addition to cleaning and changing them frequently, it is best not to use them at night. Because the water absorption capacity of sanitary tampon is limited, and it is impossible to replace it in time after falling asleep at night. At this time, the outflow of menstrual blood is blocked and it is likely to flow back into the pelvic cavity and cause endometriosis. In addition, strenuous physical exercise should be avoided during menstruation, as it is also one of the risk factors for endometriosis.

In addition, there are abnormal metabolism, hypoglycemia and hypothyroidism and other reasons. Some people believe that stressful life, study, and bad sleep are one of the many reasons that cause autonomic nervous system dysfunction. For some women, feeling exhausted may also cause other symptoms.
