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 also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Is it normal for the abdomen not to grow significantly at 5 months of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is important to have prenatal check-ups and maintain a relaxed mood, which is related to height and body shape to some extent. It is not necessarily a pathological condition. In your case, the bleeding may be caused by qi deficiency failing to control blood. This is often due to prolonged illness, exhaustion, or spleen deficiency leading to qi deficiency. When qi deficiency fails to regulate blood circulation, it results in blood overflowing from vessels. Alternatively, chronic blood loss may deplete qi, causing qi deficiency that cannot control blood. It is recommended to use a large dose of Astragalus root decoction to replenish qi and stop bleeding.
