Patient's question:
My sister's menstrual cycle has always been irregular. When she has her period, it lasts for half a month, sometimes even 20 days. She went to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, who diagnosed her with leukorrhea and prescribed medication for her to take back home. However, after taking it for two days, she didn't show any improvement, and the bleeding became heavier. What should we do? If taking Chinese medicine for leukorrhea leads to heavier bleeding, what can be done?Doctor's answer:
It may be due to inaccurate syndrome differentiation and treatment, or poor personal constitution and transformation. If there is no improvement after treatment, it is recommended to consider going to the hospital for re-evaluation and treatment. Leaking discharge is generally associated with factors such as insufficient qi and blood, spleen deficiency, kidney deficiency, etc. Therefore, in terms of treatment, it is usually necessary to use some topical medications that replenish qi, strengthen the spleen, and tonify the kidneys.
