How to measure whether menstruation is normal? The old Chinese medicine doctor of Bocuitang said that it can be judged from four aspects: the length of the menstrual cycle, the amount of menstrual flow, the depth of color, and the thickness of menstrual blood. If you find any changes in your menstruation, it is considered irregular menstruation. Clinically, menstrual disorders can be divided into early menstruation, late menstruation, irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, metrorrhagia, etc.

Note: This disease falls under the category of irregular menstruation. The patient has a weak constitution, is under great mental stress and suffers from constant dysmenorrhea. The diagnosis of TCM of Bocuitang is liver depression and qi stagnation, qi and blood deficiency, and dysmenorrhea. The treatment is to soothe the liver and regulate qi, strengthen the spleen and replenish blood. The prescription uses ginseng, astragalus, white atractylodes, and yam, which are all important medicines for strengthening the spleen and replenishing qi. Angelica, Chuanxiong, and Rehmannia nourish yin and blood, while Corydalis and white peony root regulate qi and relieve pain. If the Qi and blood are harmonious on weekdays, the menstruation will be regular. Therefore, add Jinglingsan and take it on a regular basis. Jingling Powder is a century-old ancestral powder of Bocuitang, which is made up of many Chinese medicinal herbs such as angelica, astragalus, and moonflower. Regulate Qi and blood internally, promote blood circulation, warm the body and relieve pain. It can be used in clinical practice to treat symptoms such as liver depression and qi stagnation, irregular menstruation, and dysmenorrhea, with good results.

The three-stage syndrome differentiation and treatment of irregular menstruation by an old Chinese doctor from Bocuitang

1. Regulate Qi before menstruation: Qi and blood flow smoothly, symptoms disappear naturally

Many women feel irritable, easily angered, and have breast pain before their menstruation. These are typical symptoms of poor Qi circulation and liver depression and Qi stagnation. If the emotions are not comfortable, the liver qi is not flowing smoothly, and the menstruation is stagnant, then the breasts will be swollen and painful. Therefore, regulating Qi is the first priority. One week before menstruation, use Chinese herbal decoction with "Jingling San" for conditioning, which will harmonize Qi and blood and relieve symptoms.

2. Regulate blood during menstruation: regulate the spleen and stomach: guide blood to the meridians

To treat blood, you must first treat the spleen. The spleen is responsible for biochemical metabolism. Once the spleen and stomach are weak, the source of biochemical metabolism will be scarce and the blood supply will be insufficient, the blood sea will be empty, causing menstrual disorders. Generally speaking, do not take medicine during menstruation. However, those with dysmenorrhea, blood stasis, and metrorrhagia must follow the principle of "treating the symptoms in an emergency and the root cause in a slow manner." If the spleen is weak, the blood will not be solid, which will result in continuous menstruation, delayed menstruation, and metrorrhagia. Therefore, it replenishes Qi and strengthens the spleen, and guides blood back to the meridians.

3. Post-menstrual conditioning: nourishing the liver and kidneys, replenishing qi and blood

Regulating menstruation starts with the liver. After menstruation, blood loss causes deficiency of Qi and blood, which need to be replenished in time. The liver stores blood, and blood is the foundation of women; the kidneys store essence and are the root of pregnancy. Therefore, the treatment of irregular menstruation should focus on nourishing the liver and kidneys, replenishing qi and blood. Doctor Li said that once the menstruation is regulated normally, some health-preserving paste prescriptions can be prepared according to the physical condition, such as the perfect paste, the warm uterus and menstruation regulating paste, etc., to strengthen the spleen and consolidate the foundation, replenish qi and nourish blood, and promote health.

Female friends must always pay attention to their menstrual irregularities. If menstruation is always delayed, you can infer your condition based on the above introduction and then effectively adopt appropriate methods to regulate it. Menstruation is one of the important manifestations of the endocrine cycle of adult women. Its normality directly affects the reproductive health of the majority of female friends. Therefore, if menstruation is delayed, find out the cause and treat it as soon as possible. If necessary, go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment to ensure your health.
