Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Why hasn't there been any movement two days after the cervix dilates to one finger?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the cervical opening during a vaginal examination is about the width of a finger, without contractions, without membrane rupture, and it will not affect the child. It requires patience to monitor, ensuring adequate sleep and nutrition to prepare for a smooth delivery. Pay attention to the baby's movements.Your condition may be postpartum lochia profusa. It is often caused by a deficiency in the spleen's qi, either prenatally or postnatally, leading to an inability to regulate the (Chong Mai) blood; or by emptiness in the uterine vessels postpartum, with cold invasion causing blood to congeal; or by emotional distress, qi stagnation, and blood stasis, resulting in blood not returning to its proper channels.
Bianhuatang (Modified Decoction) can be used for treatment, which is quite effective.
