Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Also, why is my menstrual flow getting heavier?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 circulation of blood, causing blood to overflow outside the vessels. Alternatively, chronic blood loss may deplete qi, turning it into qi deficiency that cannot grasp blood.It is recommended to use a large dose of Astragalus root decoction to invigorate qi and stop bleeding. Your condition may also be due to qi and cold-induced menorrhea or delayed menstruation caused by blood deficiency and insufficient nourishment. The (Chong Ren) channels have insufficient qi and blood, leading to emptiness in the blood sea after menstruation. Combined with qi deficiency and blood stagnation, there is a lack of power to circulate blood, triggering menorrhea.
The formula should include Angelica sinensis, white peony root, and prepared rehmannia root to nourish blood and regulate menstruation; while Carthamus tinctorius, Ligusticum chuanxiong, Curcuma zedoaria, and Cyperus rotundus are used to activate blood circulation. It is recommended to treat with modified Warm Stomach Decoction.
