Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me what it means if the left lower abdomen hurts in the early stages of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, considering the possibility of intestinal cramps or ureteral stones, an ultrasound examination can help with diagnosis. If it is the former, massage or heat application can be used to alleviate the symptoms. For the latter, treatment options include lithotripsy or surgery. Drinking more water is beneficial for symptom improvement.Your condition may be caused by qi deficiency failing to control blood, leading to bleeding. This is often due to prolonged illness, exhaustion, or spleen deficiency, which results in qi deficiency. When qi is deficient, it cannot properly regulate blood circulation, causing blood to overflow outside the vessels. Alternatively, chronic blood loss may deplete qi, turning it into qi deficiency that fails to hold blood.
It is recommended to use a large dose of Astragalus root decoction to invigorate qi and stop bleeding.
