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 for postpartum lochia to last for 10 days?Doctor's answer:
Hello, your condition is still normal. The duration of lochia varies from person to person. As long as there are no discomfort symptoms, everything is fine.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 weak, it cannot properly regulate blood flow, causing blood to overflow from the vessels. Alternatively, chronic blood loss may deplete qi, turning it into qi deficiency that cannot hold blood.
It is recommended to use a large dose of Astragalus root decoction to replenish qi and stop bleeding.
