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. Could you please tell me how many days after taking emergency contraception will I have light bleeding?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 fails to hold the blood. It is recommended to take a large dose of Astragalus root decoction to replenish qi and stop bleeding.Hello, sexual activity during menstruation is generally unlikely to result in pregnancy, but there is still a chance. Sexual activity should be avoided during menstruation because the endometrium sheds during this period, leaving fresh wounds in the uterine cavity. If sexual activity occurs, it may introduce bacteria, leading to reproductive organ inflammation, and may also increase menstrual flow or prolong the period. It is advised to refrain during menstruation to avoid harm.
