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 are the symptoms of insufficient qi and blood after childbirth?Doctor's answer:
Postpartum qi and blood deficiency is caused by excessive blood loss during childbirth, leading to qi and blood weakness. Common symptoms include dizziness, vertigo, fatigue, pale complexion, and reduced menstrual flow, which can affect daily life.The vagina originally has an acidic environment, which helps prevent bacterial and viral infections. During menstruation, it is okay to clean, but avoid using alkaline cleaning agents like soap. Many shower gels are also alkaline. If you must wash, buy specialized cleaning agents specifically designed for this purpose, and ensure they are acidic.
Additionally, it is crucial never to soak in a bathtub during menstruation, as this can easily lead to retrograde infection. Showering is the recommended method.
