Patient's question:
On the 13th day of a natural birth, I was just standing up to breastfeed the baby when suddenly there was a large amount of blood flowing out. It lasted for about five to six seconds, and my sleep pants were completely soaked around the buttocks. Now I'm lying flat in bed, and whenever I make an effort, a small amount of blood still flows out, all dark red in color.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 regulate the circulation 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.
