32-year-old woman relies on eating hemostatic agents for menstruation. It has been two years, and she has been to the provincial hospital.

Patient's question:

Two years of irregular menstruation, dizziness, and weight gain in provincial and municipal hospitals

Doctor's answer:

In your case, the bleeding may be caused by qi deficiency failing to control blood. This is often due to prolonged illness, exhaustion, or spleen deficiency leading to qi deficiency. When qi is deficient, it cannot regulate the flow of blood, causing it to overflow outside the vessels. Alternatively, chronic blood loss may deplete qi, turning it into 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.
