Patient's question:
My menstrual cycle has never been very regular; sometimes I only have one period every two months. Moreover, the amount of blood flow is very heavy, accompanied by abdominal pain and lower back pain. This time, my period has lasted for more than ten days and has not yet ended, with a large amount of dark-colored blood. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was diagnosed as leukorrhea with blood discharge.What kind of help is needed: What does leukorrhea with blood discharge mean?
Doctor's answer:
Lowering turbidity with blood includes two conditions: blood collapse and menstrual leakage. These two conditions share the same cause but differ in symptoms. Blood collapse is a sudden, gushing discharge of blood, while menstrual leakage is a persistent, continuous trickle. Therefore, collapse and leakage differ only in degree of severity and urgency, with no significant distinction in nature. Moreover, due to their close causal relationship, they have been traditionally considered as part of the same condition since ancient times.The causes of lowering turbidity with blood can be broadly categorized into five types: deficiency-cold, deficiency-heat, damp-heat, blood stasis, and qi stagnation.
The special formula for treating lowering turbidity with blood:
- Astragalus 30g
- Poria (soaked in wine) 30g
- Mulberry leaves 30g
- Fresh root of Rehmannia 30g
- Panax notoginseng powder 9g (to be taken separately)
Do not add the powder to the boiling medicine. After the medicine is cooked, mix in the Panax notoginseng powder and consume.
