Evidence at a Glance
Two controlled studies reported greater improvement when Bazhen Yimu Pills were added to conventional treatment: one directly studied irregular menstruation with qi and blood deficiency, and one studied menstrual disorder after induced abortion. Both were short add-on studies, so they do not establish the effect of the formula used alone.
Do not self-treat sudden menstrual changes or irregular vaginal bleeding. People with significant chronic illness should seek professional advice before use.
