Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me what could be the reason if my period hasn't ended after half a month?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 weak, it cannot properly regulate blood flow, 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 boost qi and stop bleeding. Irregular menstruation not only affects the patient's health but may also lead to gynecological disorders. Therefore, it is best to visit a gynecology department for a vaginal examination to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, it is important to drink more water and maintain good personal hygiene.
