What are the causes of irregular menstruation?

For female friends, there are a few days every month when we must take good care of our daily physical health. We need to pay more attention to the stability of the menstrual cycle. Eating spicy food during menstruation is one of the reasons for irregular menstruation. We should develop good eating habits and ensure that our diet is healthy. This will help alleviate the symptoms of irregular menstrual cycles.

Traditional Chinese medicine calls this phenomenon oligomenorrhea. According to the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, women’s scanty menstruation may be related to the following factors:

(1) Blood deficiency: Physical blood deficiency or traumatic bleeding, postpartum hemorrhage, and postoperative bleeding can all cause blood deficiency in the body, resulting in insufficient blood and reduced menstrual flow.

(2) Kidney deficiency: congenital deficiency of kidney qi and kidney essence, or damage to the kidneys due to excessive sexual intercourse, too many births, artificial abortions, etc., resulting in insufficient kidney qi, insufficient essence and blood, an empty blood sea and a decrease in menstrual flow.

⑶ Blood stasis: Women who are exposed to cold during menstruation may suffer from invasion of evil cold, which may cause blood to coagulate; or women who quarrel with others or feel depressed during menstruation may suffer from qi stagnation and blood stasis; or external trauma may cause blood stasis, which may all lead to poor menstrual blood circulation and oligomenorrhea.

⑷ Phlegm-dampness: Obese women have a phlegm-dampness body type; because phlegm-dampness blocks the meridians, the menstrual blood flows poorly, resulting in scanty menstruation.

Some women who take birth control pills for a long time may experience a gradual decrease in menstruation. When a girl reaches her first menstruation, the amount of menstruation is usually not much, and when a woman reaches menopause, it is a normal physiological phenomenon and neither requires treatment. In addition, if a woman finds that her menstrual volume is decreasing, she should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time to avoid menstrual blockage. Traditional Chinese medicine has excellent experience and results in regulating reproductive function (menstruation regulation), without any side effects, and its long-term prognosis is far superior to that of Western medicine. It also has more methods for treating intractable and stubborn menstrual disorders than Western medicine.
