Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Also, why hasn't my period arrived after half a month?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, overexertion, or spleen deficiency leading to qi deficiency. When qi is weak, it cannot properly regulate blood circulation, causing blood to overflow from blood 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 root decoction to boost qi and stop bleeding. Sometimes, delayed menstruation is perfectly normal! If there is a possibility of pregnancy, it is advisable to visit a hospital for a check-up or use a pregnancy test kit a few days later.
