Patient's question:
When I was young, my menstruation was not normal. The flow was very heavy, and I felt very weak. At first, I thought it was nothing, that it was the same. But as I grew older, I felt more uncomfortable. When it came, it would come for two days, then stop for two days, then come again for two days, and then stop. It would fluctuate several times in a month, and I was really worried about how it would affect my marriage in the future. What kind of help I need: For leukorrhea, what Chinese patent medicine should I take?Doctor's answer:
A viscous or thin liquid flows from a woman's vagina, continuous and ribbon-like, known as leukorrhea. As for women during physiological growth and development, before or after menstruation, or in the early stages of pregnancy, the vagina naturally discharges a very small amount of secretion that is colorless and translucent, often feeling moist, which is a physiological phenomenon and not leukorrhea. Treatment should be based on syndrome differentiation and use traditional Chinese medicine. When there is blood heat, use heat-clearing and blood-cooling herbs; when there is qi and blood deficiency, replenish qi and blood; when there is yin deficiency, nourish yin; and when there is qi and blood stagnation, regulate qi. Examples includeGui Pi Wan (Brewed Atractylodes Rhizome Pill),Shao Fu Zhu Yu Wan (Lesser Abdominal Pain-Relieving Pill),Yi Mu Cao Granules (Motherwort Granules), andGong Xue Ning Granules (Uterine Blood Pacifying Granules).
