Why does a cesarean section cause heavy bleeding?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

In your case, the bleeding may be caused by qi deficiency failing to control blood, which is often due to 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, resulting in qi deficiency that fails to hold the blood. It is recommended to use a large dose of Astragalus root decoction to invigorate qi and stop bleeding.
