Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Why is it that 11 days after an abortion, there's a large amount of bleeding with blood clots?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 weak, it cannot properly regulate blood circulation, causing blood to overflow from vessels. Alternatively, chronic blood loss may deplete qi, turning it into qi deficiency that fails to hold blood.It is recommended to take a large dose of astragalus decoction to invigorate qi and stop bleeding. Your symptoms may be indicative of vaginitis. Common types include bacterial, trichomoniasis, or fungal infections. It is advisable to undergo a routine vaginal discharge examination at a hospital for a definitive diagnosis and treatment.
Pay attention to maintaining external genital hygiene and avoiding spicy or irritating foods. During treatment, sexual intercourse should be avoided.
