If you have this situation, you can see a Chinese medicine doctor. Chinese medicine calls it uterine bleeding.
Clinical manifestations
Urban bleeding is a general term for vaginal bleeding in women during non-menstrual periods. The main clinical manifestation is vaginal bleeding. If the bleeding is urgent and the amount of bleeding is large, it is called collapse; if the amount of bleeding is small or the bleeding is continuous, it is called leakage. According to Western medicine, functional uterine bleeding, vaginal bleeding caused by female genital inflammation, tumors, etc. all fall into the category of uterine bleeding. Metrorrhagia is a serious and complex symptom among women's menstrual diseases.
Complications
⑴ Anemia: Excessive blood loss from metrorrhagia will lead to pale complexion, pale lips, dizziness, mental fatigue, shortness of breath, palpitations, and insomnia. A series of symptoms of anemia such as dreams and weak pulse.
⑵ Collapse: The onset of metrorrhagia is violent, with heavy bleeding, and the metrorrhagia does not stop. This can often lead to collapse, with dizziness, pale face, cold limbs, dripping sweat, shortness of breath, and floating pulse. Critical syndrome that has no roots or has disappeared. If it is not rescued in time, it will be life-threatening.
⑶ Evil virus infection: manifested as lower abdominal pain that refuses to be pressed, low back pain, sticky vaginal discharge, yellowish color, foul smell, or a combination of five colors, accompanied by irritability and thirst, yellow urine, dry stool, and yellow and greasy tongue coating , smooth and smooth pulse, etc.
This disease is more common in adolescent women and menopausal women. It is mostly caused by blood heat, qi deficiency, liver and kidney yin deficiency, blood stasis, qi stagnation, etc. that damage Chong and Ren, and Chong and Ren qi are not absorbed. To treat collapse, we must first stop bleeding to prevent fainting and collapse. After the bleeding is low or stops, we can examine the cause and treat it. That is, treat the symptoms if it is urgent, and treat the root cause if it is slow.
Cause and pathogenesis
It is caused by the dysfunction of the Chong and Ren meridians caused by emotional depression, overwork, careless eating and drinking in postpartum or post-abortion life, and sexual intemperance.
1． Excessive collapse leads to prolapse. Prolonged collapse of blood leads to collapse of qi and blood in the internal organs.
2． Deficiency of both Qi and blood. Metrorrhagia occurs repeatedly, and Qi disappears along with the blood, resulting in deficiency of both Qi and blood.
3． Deficiency of the spleen and kidneys: Insufficiency of the spleen in the original body or injury to the kidneys due to multiple childbirths. At the same time, careless eating can damage the spleen and stomach. Insufficiency of the spleen and kidneys can lead to uterine bleeding due to lack of control.
4． Liver and kidney yin deficiency is caused by yin deficiency in the body or blood loss due to serious illness, loss of both essence and blood, and lack of nourishment.
5 Blood-heat acts indiscriminately. The body's yang is strong or the emotions are not smooth, and the depression turns into fire, which damages Chong and Ren.
6. Qi stagnation and blood stasis are caused by liver stagnation and qi stagnation, long-term blood stasis, blood stasis blocking the uterus, new blood not being able to return to the menstruation, and blood leaving the menstruation flowing in an unintended manner.
Diagnostic examination
When the type of disease with uterine bleeding as the main symptom has not been determined clinically, uterine bleeding can be investigated as a preliminary diagnosis, and syndrome differentiation and treatment can be carried out. Ideas for disease diagnosis:
1. Metrorrhagia specifically refers to disorders of the menstrual cycle and vaginal bleeding such as metrorrhagia and metrorrhagia, including metrorrhagia and metrorrhagia. It is more common in adolescent and menopausal women, and no tumors or other lesions are found during examination.
2． Abnormal vaginal bleeding due to diseases other than metrorrhagia often includes:
⑴ Those with heavy vaginal bleeding and a palpable mass in the lower abdomen are mostly stone fistulas.
⑵ Confirmed pregnancy, vaginal bleeding, which can be seen in fetal leakage or ectopic pregnancy.
⑶ Postpartum vaginal bleeding. Large amounts are classified into new birth hemorrhage, metrorrhagia, and late postpartum hemorrhage; small amounts and continuous bleeding are classified as postpartum lochia.
⑷Those with metrorrhagia, accompanied by systemic subcutaneous bleeding and body heat, should consider plague, purpura, hemostasis, etc.
⑸ If a small amount of vaginal bleeding occurs periodically in the middle of two menstruation periods (i.e., the menstrual period), and the leucorrhea increases, it is intermenstrual bleeding.
⑹ Vaginal bleeding caused by injury, if the cause of the injury can be found, is called vulva injury.
⑺ If the bleeding is difficult to stop in multiple places throughout the body and there is no fever, it may be hemorrhagic disease.
⑻ If middle-aged and elderly women have vaginal bleeding from time to time, smelly vaginal discharge, or have blood streaks, they should suspect the possibility of uterine cancer.
3. Routine gynecology. Obstetric examination should be regarded as a necessary diagnosis.
4． Routine blood tests, blood biochemistry tests, and spinal fluid, cell culture and other tests if necessary.
5. Abdominal X-rays, B-ultrasound, CT scans, etc. can help determine the location of the disease and make a clear diagnosis.
Dialectical Treatment
Urban bleeding takes non-cyclical vaginal bleeding as the key point of syndrome differentiation. During clinical diagnosis, cold and heat are distinguished based on changes in the amount, color and quality of bleeding and systemic syndromes. , virtual, real. Treatment should be based on the severity of the condition and the duration of the bleeding, and adopt the principle of "treating the symptoms if it is urgent, and treating the root cause if it is slow", and flexibly use the three methods of stopping the flow, clearing the source, and restoring the old.
Stop the flow to stop the bleeding. Metrorrhagia is mainly caused by blood loss, and stopping bleeding is the top priority in treating this disease. When using specific hemostatic methods, you should also pay attention to the differences between collapse and bleeding. To treat metrorrhagia, it is better to nourish blood and promote qi, but not to use pungent and warm medicine to promote blood circulation, so as to avoid excessive blood loss, which may lead to depletion of yin and yang. The medicines for blocking flow can be Shihui Powder, Yunnan Baiyao, Zidi Ning Xue Powder, etc.
Cleaning the source means seeking the cause and treating the root cause. Metrorrhagia is caused by many reasons. According to the specific causes of metrorrhagia, methods such as tonifying the kidney, strengthening the spleen, clearing away heat, regulating qi, and removing blood stasis can be used to fundamentally treat metrorrhagia. The two methods of plug flow and clear source are often performed simultaneously.
Returning to the old is to deal with the aftermath. After the bleeding of metrorrhagia stops, the spleen and kidneys should be treated to improve the aftermath. Various schools of thought in the past dynasties believe that after metrorrhagia, the spleen and stomach should be regulated to transform qi and blood to recover.
Modern research points out that only by replenishing kidney qi and rebuilding the menstrual cycle can uterine bleeding be completely treated. "Menstrual water comes out of the kidneys." If the kidney qi is strong, menstruation will be normal. For patients with deficiency syndrome in adolescence and childbearing age, it is more important to nourish the kidneys and regulate menstruation. Of course, restoring old things also needs to take into account Chengyuan.
In short, Sailiu, Chengyuan and Fujiu are different and intrinsically related, and must be used flexibly according to the specific condition.

Dietary therapy and health care
Introduction
Urban bleeding refers to menstrual blood falling continuously or dripping from time to time. The former is called metrorrhagia, and the latter is called menstrual bleeding. Although the conditions of metrorrhagia and metrorrhagia are different, they often transform into each other, so they are collectively called metrorrhagia. It is equivalent to "functional uterine bleeding" in modern medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this disease is caused by loss of Ren and liver and kidney disorders.

Tips for Pregnancy
1. Life rules: Peace is the top priority in daily life. Don’t be too relaxed (such as being too snoozy), nor be too laborious, such as lifting heavy objects or climbing high places. If it is exhausted, Qi will be stagnant, leading to dystocia; if it is strained, Qi will be weak, leading to fetal injury and miscarriage. Therefore, pregnant women must develop good living habits and have a regular schedule. It is best to ensure that they sleep for 8 hours a day and exercise appropriately. In this way, you can have sufficient physical strength and energy to cope with various situations during pregnancy. In addition, pregnant women should wear loose-fitting clothes, belts should not be tight, and flat shoes should be worn at ordinary times. You should develop the habit of regular bowel movements and eat more fiber-rich foods to keep your bowel movements smooth.
Avoid using laxatives when you have constipation.
2． Reasonable diet: Pregnant women should pay attention to choosing foods that are rich in various vitamins and trace elements and are easy to digest, such as various vegetables, fruits, beans, eggs, meat, etc. Those with gastrointestinal deficiency and coldness should be careful with foods that are cold in nature and flavor, such as mung beans, white fungus, lotus seeds, etc.; those with yin deficiency and strong fire should be cautious with foods that are easy to cause internal heat such as rooster, beef, dog meat, carp, etc. There are many dietary remedies among the people that are very effective in preventing habitual abortion and threatened abortion. Here are two of them:
① 50 grams each of lotus seeds and longan meat, make soup over slow fire, add 100 grams of yam powder to cook porridge . Start taking it after pregnancy, once a day. This prescription is suitable for those with vaginal bleeding, lower abdominal pain, soreness and weakness in the waist and legs, white tongue coating, and a history of habitual abortion.
② Take 3 pumpkin pedicles and 6 lotus pod pedicles. Roast them until they turn yellow. Divide into rice soup and take them in 3 times. Take them all in one day. This prescription is suitable for those with blood-heat type threatened abortion who have fetal movement, abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, red face and dry mouth, five heart upsets and hotness, and short red urine after several months of pregnancy.
3． Pay attention to personal hygiene: Pregnant women should bathe frequently and change underwear frequently, but they are not suitable for bathing or swimming. Be careful not to catch cold when bathing. Pay special attention to the cleanliness of the vulva. You can wash the vulva with clean warm water every night to prevent bacterial infection.
4． Stay in a good mood: Studies believe that some spontaneous abortions are caused by excitement of the central nervous system of pregnant women. Therefore, pregnant women should pay attention to regulating their emotions, try to keep their mood as comfortable as possible, avoid various negative stimuli, and eliminate tension, boredom, and fear. In particular, they should not be overjoyed, sad, angry, or worried, otherwise it will be very detrimental to the growth and development of the fetus.
5. Regular prenatal check-ups: Pregnant women should start regular prenatal check-ups in the second trimester to detect and deal with abnormalities in pregnancy in a timely manner and ensure the healthy development of the fetus.
6. Be careful with sexual intercourse: For pregnant women with a history of spontaneous abortion, sexual intercourse should be avoided within 3 months and after 7 months of pregnancy. Those with habitual abortions should strictly refrain from sexual intercourse during this period.
