Patient's question:
Every time during menstruation, there are many blood clots. Is this a disease? First question supplement: Why does this symptom occur? Are there any simpler medications? For example, eating some foods that are commonly found in households.Doctor's answer:
Your condition, from a TCM perspective, should be classified as symptoms of qi deficiency and qi stagnation leading to blood stasis. In TCM theory, qi belongs to the yang aspect and primarily plays the role of promoting blood circulation. Due to your qi deficiency, the blood cannot flow out of the body properly under the push of qi, resulting in long-term blood stasis and the formation of blood clots within the body. The principle of regulating blood flow and resolving stasis, along with methods to unblock qi and meridians, can be quite effective. Chinese herbal medicines such as safflower, peach kernel, mint, dong quai, peony root, and others can help alleviate your symptoms. For patent medicines, you can use Qixue He capsules, which are made entirely of Chinese herbal ingredients including safflower, peach kernel, ligusticum, salvia miltiorrhiza,angelica sinensis, bupleurum, cimicifuga, and others. These herbs regulate qi and blood, nourish the uterus, and restore ovarian function, while also avoiding the side effects of Western medicine artificial cycles and the dependency caused by estrogen. They are particularly effective in regulating menstruation for conditions like blood stasis and cold deficiency, which cause irregular periods with blood clots.
