The amount of menstruation determines a woman's fate!

For some people, the amount of menstrual flow is very small and it ends in one or two days. This is oligomenorrhea. What causes scanty menstruation? It is most likely caused by blood deficiency. Patients are generally accompanied by symptoms such as dizziness, palpitations, insomnia, and dry skin. There are two reasons that lead to blood deficiency. One is the malnutrition of internal organs, and the other is the inability of blood to carry qi. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the heart controls blood and the liver stores blood. The liver is equivalent to a blood bank. When the blood bank is full, the liver's drainage function is normal and menstruation will also be normal. If the blood bank is depleted or the liver fails to function properly, the menstrual flow will be scanty. This is the reason why some women's menstruation becomes irregular after they get angry.

What to do if your menstrual flow is too heavy

-What is the reason for heavy menstrual flow? -What medicine is good to take

Menstruation is equivalent to a "barometer" of a woman's health. By monitoring it, the condition of the internal organs can be inferred. Therefore, menstrual diseases must not be underestimated to avoid the spread of the disease.

Qi cannot hold blood, and menstruation is like a "runaway wild horse"

If "women are like flowers", then menstruation should be a sign of the "flowering period". As mentioned before, the ancients would usually perform the "Ji Ceremony" for a girl after her first menstruation, because the arrival of menstruation marked the beginning of a woman's maturity. Although those days of each month make women feel very troublesome, menstruation is extremely important for women. For women, they can choose not to get married, get pregnant, or give birth, but they absolutely cannot choose not to have their periods. Otherwise it can only mean that there is something wrong with this woman's body. The ancients called women who did not have menstruation "stone women". Such women were generally infertile and would be discriminated against by others.

Even if women have their periods, there are still many problems. The most common symptom is a dull pain in the lower abdomen before menstruation, and some even experience excruciating pain, which is what people call "dysmenorrhea". Some people experience back pain that makes it hard to straighten their backs during menstruation, or have very little menstrual flow, only a little at a time, or have a large amount of menstrual flow that lasts forever. If things go on like this for a long time, not only will your mood be affected, but your skin may also develop problems such as pigmentation and acne, and in severe cases it may even lead to infertility. Menstruation can be said to be the "barometer" of women's health and must be taken seriously.

The normal menstrual cycle of a person is 28 days, not 30 days. It is normal if the difference is no more than one day. Some people have their periods early every month and with heavy flow, which is a sign of Qi deficiency. Qi is the commander of blood. The reason why Qi and blood can move along a specific route in the meridians is all due to the regulating function of Qi. If the Qi is deficient and cannot restrain blood, the blood will be like a wild horse running out of control. The amount of bleeding during menstruation will be heavy and the period will often come early. In this case, if you go to see a Western doctor, they are usually helpless. However, if you don't adjust your condition under this circumstance, it will cause great harm to your body and may even cause metrorrhagia. In addition, this is extremely detrimental to the next generation. Because if the mother is deficient in qi and blood, this physical condition will be passed on to the child. There are two kinds of Qi: Ying Qi and Wei Qi. Ying Qi is mainly responsible for nutrition and transformation into Qi and blood. Wei Qi circulates throughout the body, protecting the body surface and defending against invasion of external pathogens. To put it in an analogy, it is equivalent to a barrier in our human body. With this barrier, the human body is less vulnerable to disease. If a baby is born with weak qi, then this barrier will be very fragile. Such children will have particularly low resistance and often get sick. Why do we always advocate premarital examination? Because it is responsible to both the couple and the next generation. Therefore, female friends must pay attention. If there is any problem with menstruation, they must go to the hospital for treatment to avoid affecting the health of the next generation.

The key to treating excessive menstrual flow caused by Qi deficiency is to replenish Qi. Qi is the commander of blood, which is equivalent to putting a rein on a disobedient horse. How to replenish qi? You can soak lotus seeds, ginseng flowers and rock sugar in water and drink it. Lotus seeds can be eaten and used as medicine. They can be said to be both a food and medicine. It is said that a lotus seed can maintain its tenacious vitality no matter it sinks in the mud or drifts on the sand dunes, no matter it is in scorching heat or bitter cold, and will still sprout and bloom even after hundreds or thousands of years. In the plant kingdom, the vitality of lotus seeds can be said to be unparalleled. It is this point that makes it a precious product for replenishing vital energy. The Shennong's Herbal Classic holds that it can "replenish the middle and replenish Qi, nourish the heart and kidneys, strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach". Whenever China's longest-lived emperor Qianlong visited the Mountain Resort, he would always prepare lotus seed tea to nourish his Qi, clear away internal heat and detoxify.

Ginseng flower, also known as magic grass flower, is made from ginseng buds that are about to bloom in the fourth year of growth, and then are artificially sun-dried and dried. Ginseng flower is the essence of ginseng. Only one kilogram of ginseng flower can be harvested for every seventy kilograms of ginseng. Because it is extremely rare, it is known as "green gold". Ginseng’s qi-replenishing effect is well known to everyone, and ginseng flower is even better than ginseng in replenishing vitality. Make tea with lotus seeds and ginseng flowers, supplemented with rock sugar to nourish the middle and replenish qi. The combination of these three medicines can achieve the purpose of replenishing qi and absorbing blood, which is very beneficial for patients with excessive menstruation.

35~45 years old, soothe liver qi, nourish spleen and stomach, nourish qi and blood to maintain youth

The second important period in a woman’s life is from 35 to 45 years old. This is also the period when girls begin to age as mentioned earlier. Starting from the age of 35, women gradually begin to age. This is determined by human physiology and is also something we cannot resist. However, we can use diet therapy to offset this negative impact, try to minimize it, and delay the onset of aging.

What’s the problem with women after 35? They start to become yellow-faced women. As the name suggests, the face starts to turn yellow. It no longer had the rosy, pink complexion it had when it was young, but had turned yellow and bloodless.

Moreover, wrinkles begin to appear on the face at this time. Generally, crow's feet appear first around the eyes, followed by nasolabial folds on both sides of the nose, and also frown lines begin to appear. After women turn 35, their complexion starts to look haggard.

What is the reason for this? In fact, after a woman is over 35 years old, her stomach qi begins to weaken.

The stomach is particularly important to people because it determines our complexion and appearance. If the stomach's qi and blood are not good, the qi and blood on our face will appear old and haggard.

In addition, the stomach also affects our mood. The stomach can be said to be the "second heart" of the human body, and it manages our emotions. Therefore, people with stomach problems must be in a bad mood. Some people are fine most of the time, but when they are angry or nervous, they will have stomachache for no reason. Some people have very impatient personalities. What will happen seriously in this situation? They are prone to gastric ulcers and gastric bleeding. There is another type of people who have a more depressed personality, which can also easily cause stomach problems. So if you see a woman who is in a bad mood or has depression, she must have something wrong with her stomach.

Sometimes, people may have a bad temper just because they don’t have enough food. The brain needs sugar to maintain normal functioning. When people are hungry, the brain lacks energy and they are prone to lose normal judgment. Some people will be very irritable, some will be very depressed or confused.

It is important to eat enough, and we must never mistreat our stomach.

For women over 35 years old, their spleen begins to become weak. What is the spleen in traditional Chinese medicine?

It is the body's system of transportation and transformation. What is the transportation and transformation system? It converts the food digested by the stomach into nutrients, transports them to all parts of the body, distributes them to various tissues and organs, and replenishes nutrients to these parts.

The spleen and stomach are one and the same; they are interconnected. If the stomach is not in good health, the spleen will not be in good health; if the spleen is not in good health, the stomach will not be in good health. Therefore, when women reach the age of 35, their stomach qi becomes weak and their spleen function will also become worse. What happens after that? The food we eat is not fully digested and absorbed, so the body's functions decline. The first thing to be affected is the decline in hematopoietic function, and the amount of blood will become less. Therefore, women over 35 years old are prone to anemia, and their complexion becomes worse.

To make matters worse, the 35-45 age group is also the period when female elders often begin to suffer from multiple illnesses. One person may have to take care of the elderly from two families, which means four elderly people. Any elderly person who is hospitalized or sick has to be taken care of. Then, there is a child. Now everyone has a child, and everyone loves him very much. A series of issues concerning the child, such as the child's health, the child's study, etc., are all issues that women have to worry about. Another thing is that there is a husband at home who also needs care and concern. Women between the ages of 35 and 45 should also be careful about family problems.

What to do with irregular menstruation

-What to eat for amenorrhea

There is no need to explain how important menstruation is to female reproduction. If a woman's menstrual flow is not smooth and her Qi and blood are stagnant, then the blood in her uterus will become dry and she will not be able to conceive successfully. Regulating menstruation before pregnancy is the process of unblocking qi and blood. Symptoms such as excessive menstrual bleeding, irregular menstrual cycles, and dysmenorrhea should be taken seriously. It is worth noting that because the conditions of qi, blood, yin and yang are different in different stages of the menstrual cycle, it is best to do it in stages if you want to replenish qi and nourish blood. The early stage of menstruation is the stage of yang growing and yin disappearing. At this time, kidney yang gradually becomes strong to warm the uterus and provide conditions for the implantation and development of the fertilized egg. If kidney yang is deficient, uterine cold, infertility or menstrual disorders will occur. At this time, warming and tonifying kidney yang should be the main treatment; in the late stage of menstruation, the blood sea is empty, which is the stage of yin growing and yang disappearing. At this time, kidney yin should be nourished; the intermenstrual period is characterized by the fullness of the kidney meridian and the transformation from heavy yin to yang. In order to smoothly achieve this transformation, the treatment should be based on the method of warming the kidney and activating blood circulation, so as to follow the trend to facilitate blood flow to the ovaries and thus ovulation. During the menstrual period, the function of the uterus is to discharge rather than store, and to serve the purpose of unblocking. Because new blood is difficult to produce if the old blood is not removed, which will affect the storage of the next menstruation, so the method of regulating Qi and removing blood stasis is adopted to take advantage of the situation. Based on this need, I will list several related nourishing foods for female friends to use to regulate menstrual blood:

Be careful when your period comes

The diagnosis of oligomenorrhea generally refers to two or more consecutive occurrences. If a woman has had normal menstruation but suddenly has less menstruation, she should be aware of whether it is a sign of threatened miscarriage in the early stages of pregnancy or a small amount of vaginal bleeding due to ectopic pregnancy. Further examinations are necessary to differentiate between the two.

What is the reason for light menstrual flow?

Abstract: Small menstrual volume, long menstrual cycle, short menstrual cycle and little menstrual flow each time, all of these are considered menstrual disorders, which are one of the most common gynecological diseases. Long-term scanty menstruation is extremely harmful to the female body. Problems such as premature ovarian failure, infertility, pelvic infection, etc. may initially manifest as scanty menstruation.

There are many types of menstrual disorders in women, one of the more common ones is scanty menstruation, which is manifested by a significant decrease in menstrual volume, with only a little menstrual flow each time, or just a little flow and then the end. Traditional Chinese medicine calls menstruation of less than two days and scanty menstrual blood as scanty menstruation. Generally, menstrual flow of less than 30 ml is considered oligomenorrhea.

"What is the reason for scanty menstrual flow?"

There are many reasons for scanty menstrual flow, the most common of which is usually low estrogen levels. This can be deduced from the principle of menstruation. Estrogen stimulates the endometrium to proliferate and thicken in preparation for conception. If conception does not occur, the proliferating endometrium will fall off, causing bleeding, which is the formation of menstruation. Low estrogen levels in the body will lead to a decrease in the thickness of the endometrium, resulting in a decrease in the amount of menstrual bleeding. Therefore, once the problem of scanty menstrual flow is discovered, doctors will usually recommend that patients first undergo an endocrine test to see if the estrogen level is normal.

Small menstrual flow may also indicate that women have ovarian or cervical disease. Menstruation is formed after the hormones secreted by the ovaries stimulate the endometrium. The hormones secreted by the ovaries are controlled by the release of hormones from the pituitary gland and hypothalamus. Therefore, any abnormality in the function of the ovaries, pituitary gland, or hypothalamus will affect menstruation.
