Patient's question:
I got married last year, and recently I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain. It's especially bad during my period, and I'm very worried it might affect fertility. I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Why does the vagina secrete transparent fluid?Doctor's answer:
That's normal, it's leukorrhea or vaginal lubricating secretions. This indicates that your period is coming soon. You're almost becoming an adult, so don't worry or get nervous—just pay attention to hygiene in the vaginal area. Your condition may be caused by qi deficiency failing to control blood flow, often resulting from prolonged illness, exhaustion, or spleen deficiency leading to qi deficiency. When qi deficiency fails to regulate blood circulation, it causes blood to overflow outside the vessels; alternatively, chronic blood loss may deplete qi, which in turn fails to hold the blood. It is recommended to take a large dose of Astragalus root decoction to boost qi and stop bleeding.
