Patient's question:
I have been bleeding red blood for 53 days, and it stopped after about 20 days. However, it comes back every 7-8 days for 3-4 days and then stops again. At day 42, it started again. It lasted for 3-4 days and then stopped. At day 50, it started again. I want to ask, is this lochia, residual tissue, or menstruation?Doctor's answer:
Postpartum lochia prolongation can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine.Advice: Generally speaking, if you have postpartum lochia prolongation, you can choose some herbs that strengthen the spleen and invigorate qi, as well as herbs that replenish qi and generate blood. This is because the spleen governs the transformation and containment of blood, and when the spleen's qi is strong, the blood will naturally stop. Additionally, you can choose herbs that replenish qi and generate blood to enhance the body's resistance. In this regard, traditional Chinese medicine is very effective.
