Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Why do I sweat cold in the summer while postpartum?Doctor's answer:
Hello, this situation should be considered as a disharmony between the ying and wei systems with qi deficiency and spontaneous sweating. For this condition of disharmony between the ying and wei systems with qi deficiency and spontaneous sweating, you can consider taking modified Yu Ping Feng San (Wu Gen Yu Ping Feng San). Alternatively, you can take some traditional Chinese medicine formulas that tonify qi and reinforce the surface, such as Huang Qi Jing Kou Fu (Huang Qi Jing Oral Liquid). 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 can lead to qi deficiency. When qi deficiency fails to control the circulation of blood, it results in blood overflowing outside the vessels. Alternatively, it may be caused by chronic blood loss, where qi is consumed along with blood, leading to qi deficiency that cannot capture blood. It is recommended to use a large dose of Huang Qi (Astragalus Root) decocted for drinking to tonify qi and stop bleeding.
