Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Is it normal to have bright red blood during ovulation?Doctor's answer:
In your case, the bleeding may be caused by qi deficiency failing to control blood, often resulting from prolonged illness, exhaustion, or spleen deficiency leading to qi deficiency. When qi is deficient, it cannot regulate the flow of blood, causing it 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 take a large dose of Astragalus root decoction to boost qi and stop bleeding. This could be a sign of impending miscarriage, so it is necessary to visit the hospital for hormone testing (6 items) and an ultrasound. Medications such as intramuscular injections or oral progesterone may be prescribed.
During this time, you should rest in bed and avoid strenuous exercise. Avoid spicy, alcoholic, or other irritating foods.
