What are the reasons for a long menstrual period with heavy flow?

Patient's question:

Myoma was checked with no problems a year ago, and I was also on medication.
Irregular menstruation started last year.

Doctor's answer:

In your case, the bleeding may be caused by qi deficiency failing to control blood. This is often due to prolonged illness, exhaustion, or spleen deficiency leading to qi deficiency. When qi is deficient, it cannot regulate the movement of blood, causing blood to overflow outside the vessels. Alternatively, chronic blood loss may deplete qi, turning it into qi deficiency that cannot hold blood.
It is recommended to take a large dose of astragalus decoction to invigorate qi and stop bleeding. The occurrence of menstrual irregularities not only affects a woman's physical health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo a routine check-up in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, it is important to drink more water and maintain good personal hygiene.
