Why does taking Gushi Antitoxic Pills and Progesterone Capsules during pregnancy cause astringency?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Why does taking Gushi Anyutan pills and Progesterone pills during pregnancy cause a sensation of dryness?

Doctor's answer:

Alright, these two medications are primarily used for maintaining pregnancy, and progesterone is usually taken for about a month. It's not necessary to draw blood every week. After two months, blood tests are no longer necessary.
In your case, the bleeding may be caused by qi deficiency failing to control blood flow. This is often due to prolonged illness, exhaustion, or spleen deficiency, which leads to qi deficiency. When qi is deficient, it cannot properly regulate blood circulation, causing blood 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 use a large dose of astragalus root decoction to replenish qi and stop bleeding.
