Patient's question:
Three days postpartum, there is something sinking in the abdomen.Doctor's answer:
The descent of a woman's uterus is called uterine prolapse, which is also known as "unrecovered intestines after childbirth" because it often occurs postpartum. The main causes of this condition are qi deficiency and kidney deficiency. Qi deficiency leads to sinking and inability to hold, while kidney deficiency damages the bladder meridians and the end of the meridians, weakening the (Chong Ren) system. In terms of treatment, the principle should be "strengthen the deficient, lift the sinking, and secure the prolapsed," focusing on tonifying qi and raising the uterus, as well as replenishing the kidneys to secure the prolapse. The formula Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang (Middle Jue Yi Qi Decoction) can be considered.
