Patient's question:
On October 19th, I had an abortion. After about half a month, an ultrasound revealed a small amount of residual tissue. The doctor said my endometrium was too thin to perform a D&C procedure.On November 16th, I had my period, but the flow was very light, just a few drops. However, on December 3rd, I had another period, and it lasted for about a week without stopping, with persistent spotting. Is this abnormal?
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 properly regulate blood circulation, 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 replenish qi and stop bleeding. Irregular menstruation not only affects women's health but can also lead to gynecological disorders. Therefore, it is best to undergo a routine check-up in the gynecology department of a hospital 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, irritating, and cold foods.
