Diagnosis:   Deficiency of spleen and kidney, blood stagnation and blood deficiency

Treatment method: Use herbs and acupuncture to promote spleen and kidney, disperse stasis to build up blood level and promote blood flow. Also, the patient should not try to get pregnant for 6 months.

Process and Result: After 4 sessions of acupuncture and herbs, in the fifth visit on March 29^th, frequency of urination dramatically decrease, and no more incontinence. the seventh visit is on April 5^th, which was the fourth day of her period, she told me that there was a lot of blood clots this time (it is a sign that her blood stasis is dissipating). On April 11^th, she went to surgery of remove polyps, however the doctor told her they did not find any polyps. It was some tissue from her second miscarriage, so the doctor removed that. From the day of surgery to April 19, she reported a small amount of bleeding. On April 20^th, I gave her herbs to clean the stasis. From April 24-26, her period was heavy with a lot of dark colored blood with blood clots. After that, bleeding stopped. She had period on May 18-21 and June 12-17, both periods were red in colour, regular amount with a small amount of blood clots. On July 6^th, report showed she was four weeks pregnant. However, she showed miscarriage symptoms again, and there was small amount of brownish liquid that came out. Right away, I used acupuncture and herbs to prevent her from having another miscarriage. She even had red blood came out one day when she worked on her feet a whole day. I modified the herbal formula for her, and she took those herbs until 16 weeks into her pregnancy.  Her expected date is next month, February 2019.
