Postpartum back pain and slight vaginal bleeding after a cesarean section - what could be the reason?

Patient's question:

Cesarean section 40 days and already experiencing lower back pain, and still bleeding from the vagina, but the amount of blood is not much

Doctor's answer:

In your case, the bleeding may be caused by qi deficiency failing to control blood, often resulting from prolonged illness, exhaustion, or spleen deficiency leading to qi deficiency. When qi is deficient, it cannot properly regulate blood circulation, causing blood to overflow from vessels. Alternatively, chronic blood loss may deplete qi, turning it into qi deficiency that fails to hold blood.
It is recommended to take a large dose of astragalus decoction to invigorate qi and stop bleeding. Generally, doctors advise women with postpartum consultation risks to maintain personal hygiene and avoid sexual activity. Additionally, patients should create an environment conducive to emotional stability and stress relief. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
