Patient's question:
After the imperial palace surgery, I got my period 31 days later, lasting about 10 days, and the flow was relatively heavy (I went for a check-up at 27 and 8, and everything was fine); 11 days after the period ended, I started bleeding again, lasting for 2 days, and the flow was lighter. Is this normal? If not, what could be the reasons? Just after this bleeding ended, my TT broke during sexual intercourse. Is it safe period, and do I need emergency contraception?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 deficient, it cannot regulate the flow of blood, causing it to overflow outside the vessels. Alternatively, chronic blood loss may deplete qi, resulting in qi deficiency that cannot hold the blood.It is recommended to take a large dose of astragalus decoction to invigorate qi and stop bleeding. The occurrence of menstrual irregularities not only affects women's lives but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo a vaginal examination at the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, it is important to drink more water and maintain good personal hygiene.
