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, which is often due to prolonged illness, exhaustion, or spleen deficiency leading to qi deficiency. When qi deficiency fails to regulate blood circulation, it results in blood overflowing outside the vessels. Alternatively, it may be caused by chronic blood loss, where qi is consumed along with blood, leading to qi deficiency that cannot hold blood. It is recommended to take a large dose of astragalus decoction to replenish qi and stop bleeding.
