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 also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. What should I do if my period doesn't stop?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 the flow of blood, causing it to leak outside the vessels. Alternatively, chronic blood loss may deplete qi, resulting in qi deficiency that cannot hold the blood in place.It is recommended to take a large dose of Astragalus root decoction to boost qi and stop bleeding. Irregular menstruation not only affects a woman's physical health but can also lead to gynecological disorders. Therefore, it is best to visit a gynecology department in the hospital for a routine examination to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, while avoiding spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
