Patient's question:
Menstruation has lasted for more than ten days, and it hasn't stopped yet. Is it possible to be pregnant? UrgentDoctor's answer:
Menstruation does not lead to pregnancy. The causes of excessive menstrual bleeding include a weak constitution, insufficient middle Qi, dietary and physical exhaustion, prolonged illness damaging the spleen, leading to spleen deficiency and qi weakness, resulting in the leakage of qi, water, blood, and fluid. A naturally excessive yang constitution, extreme emotions, the transformation of five emotions into fire, excessive consumption of spicy foods, external heat pathogens, heat accumulating in the meridians, forcing blood to flow excessively. Factors such as improper overexertion during the menstrual period, prolonged blood stagnation, postpartum blood stasis, and new blood unable to return to the meridians can also contribute to this condition.Treatment for this condition should focus on nourishing yin, cooling blood, promoting blood circulation to resolve stagnation, replenishing qi to arrest bleeding, and consolidating the meridian to stop bleeding. If the menstrual period lasts excessively long, the best approach is to check for conditions such as uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, or gynecological inflammation.
