Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction cures functional uterine bleeding

Young and beautiful Xiaolin, although only 25 years old, has been married for nearly 3 years due to the local custom of early marriage. Although she lives in a remote rural area, she has found a good family. Her husband is very caring and loving to her, and even her parents-in-law treat her like a guest of honor. The family lives in harmony and happiness, which is rare in the family life of local women. It is said that there is nothing smooth sailing in the world. Xiaolin, who has a good life, has always had a knot in her heart, that is, she has not given birth in the more than 2 years of marriage. Although her in-laws have not complained about it, Xiaolin always feels that she owes her family too much, and she is also anxious. Not only that, in the past year, her menstrual flow has been very heavy, often making her physically weak, especially the most recent time, her period lasted more than 20 days and still did not end, making her pale and dizzy. Her family was very worried about this, so they took her to a local hospital for treatment. The doctor diagnosed her with dysfunctional uterine bleeding, so he gave her a lot of hemostatics. After that, Xiaolin's menstrual flow decreased for a while, but it still dripped. The family thought that Xiaolin's illness would gradually get better, but who would have thought that just 8 days ago, Xiaolin's menstrual flow suddenly increased, and the color of the menstrual blood was purple and clumpy. She even used more than 10 packs of toilet paper in a row. Xiaolin's lower abdomen was swollen.

After arriving at the hospital, the doctor carefully examined Xiaolin and found that Xiaolin's pulse was weak, slippery and rapid, her tongue was light red, and her complexion was pale. The symptoms were metrorrhagia, which was caused by excessive liver heat, insufficient yin blood, and unstable Chong and Ren meridians, which were caused by blood stasis in the uterus. The treatment was mainly based on nourishing yin and clearing heat, and the prescriptions were: Sanguisorba officinalis charcoal, tortoise shell, phellodendron, charred gardenia, scutellaria baicalensis, and white peony root. After taking the above three doses, Xiaolin felt that the irritability and heat had subsided, and the amount of menstrual blood had also decreased. However, the lower abdomen was still painful and refused to be pressed, and there were purple-black blood clots in the menstrual blood, which was all because the blood was tired of the meridians, and the pain was caused by obstruction. So in the follow-up visit, the doctor used blood circulation and blood stasis removal as the treatment method, and used Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction with modifications, and the prescription was: red peony root, peach kernel, angelica, safflower, Chuanxiong, raw rehmannia root, bupleurum, bitter orange, corydalis, and moxa charcoal. After taking two doses of this prescription, Xiaolin's menstrual flow increased at first, but the purple-black blood gradually turned into bright red blood, and the amount of blood also gradually decreased. Although it was still not complete, the bloating and pain in the lower abdomen was relieved, but she still felt a little tired, had back pain, dizziness, and palpitations when moving.
