Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What is menopause?Doctor's answer:
Menopause, for women, refers to the transitional period when ovarian function gradually declines from a state of full activity to complete cessation, including the menopausal period and the time before and after menopause. 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 regulate the flow of blood, causing blood to overflow outside the vessels. Alternatively, it may be caused by chronic blood loss, where qi is consumed along with the blood, leading to qi deficiency that cannot control blood. It is recommended to use a large dose of astragalus to decoct and drink for invigorating qi and stopping bleeding.
