Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What are the symptoms during menstruation?Doctor's answer:
Hello, dark menstrual blood is generally considered to be caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis. It is recommended to maintain a relaxed mood and a regular lifestyle. At the same time, pay attention to keeping warm before your period and avoid eating cold or cooling foods.Your condition may be due to qi deficiency failing to control blood, which is often caused by prolonged illness, exhaustion, or spleen deficiency leading to qi deficiency. When qi is deficient, it cannot properly regulate blood flow, causing blood to overflow outside the vessels. Alternatively, chronic blood loss may deplete qi, turning it into qi deficiency that cannot hold the blood.
It is recommended to use a large dose of astragalus to decoct and drink for invigorating qi and stopping bleeding.
