What medication to take for a fishy odor during menstruation

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treats the disease by clearing heat and drying dampness (removing heat and drying dampness), and can take medicines such as Longdian Diarrhea Liver Pill. Gentian Diarrhea Liver Pill is a proprietary Chinese medicine, which is composed of gentian herb, scutellaria baicalensis, chaihu, gardenia, psyllium, angelica, etc. It has the efficacy of clearing the liver and gallbladder and inducing dampness-heat and is effective in the treatment of dampness-heat underbearing and fetid odor during menstruation.
