On the seventh day of the IUD insertion, there's no bleeding, just a bit of white discharge. Can we have sex?

Patient's question:

No

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 properly regulate blood circulation, causing blood to overflow outside the vessels. Alternatively, chronic blood loss may deplete qi, turning it into qi deficiency that cannot hold blood. It is recommended to use a large dose of Astragalus root decoction to invigorate qi and stop bleeding.
