Early menstruation is caused by qi deficiency or blood deficiency

Menstruation has also become women’s “best friend”, occurring regularly every month with a fixed cycle. However, some women's menstruation is always more than seven days early every month, and some even have two periods in a month. Is this kind of early menstruation a problem? Is it due to Qi deficiency or Qi and blood deficiency?

Under normal circumstances, a woman's menstrual cycle is one week early or late, which is a physiological manifestation, so at this time there is neither deficiency of qi and blood nor deficiency of qi. Deficiency of both Qi and blood and Qi deficiency belong to the dialectics of traditional Chinese medicine. There is no such term as deficiency of both Qi and blood or Qi deficiency in Western medicine. If a woman's menstrual period comes more than a week early, there are two possibilities: 1. Premature ovarian failure; 2. Insufficient ovarian luteal function. But at this time, according to Chinese medicine diagnosis, it may be deficiency of both Qi and blood, or deficiency of Qi, or insufficient kidney Qi or caused by irritation. Therefore, in actual situations, the only way is to see a Chinese medicine doctor in person and then carry out Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment based on observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation.

Is early menstruation due to deficiency of Qi or deficiency of both Qi and blood? Chinese scientists believe that whether the menstrual period is regular or not is closely related to the liver, spleen, kidneys and the Chong and Ren meridians. The Jingyue Complete Book of Women's Rules states that "If there is no fire in the pulse and the menstruation is early or late, it is because the heart and spleen qi are weak and cannot control themselves." In other words, the early menstruation in women is caused by qi deficiency. The spleen actually has the function of managing blood in our body. If the spleen is weak, the managed blood will take the opportunity to cause trouble, which will lead to early menstruation. Generally speaking, people with irregular diet and excessive fatigue are very likely to lose their temper, and women are also very likely to have their periods early.

Is early menstruation due to qi deficiency or both qi and blood deficiency? In fact, early menstruation may also be caused by blood heat. "Dan Xi's Heart Method" states that "If menstruation does not come as expected, it is because of blood heat." The main reason is that when the blood is hot, the water flow accelerates, causing the menstruation to come earlier than normal. Blood heat can occur when the body's yang energy is strong or when excessive consumption of irritating food and tonics occurs. People who are depressed or have lost too much blood due to long-term illness are also prone to blood heat.

After understanding whether early menstruation is caused by qi deficiency or qi and blood deficiency, let's discuss what to do if early menstruation is caused by qi deficiency. First of all, people with qi deficiency should pay attention to the changes in seasons and climate, and take special measures to prevent frostbite and keep warm in winter. Secondly, patients with qi deficiency should persist in doing more light exercises such as walking, jogging, and Tai Chi, and try to avoid overwork, excessive anxiety, and long-term watching of computer TV. Secondly, in terms of diet, you should avoid eating cool foods, spicy foods, and other hot and cold foods. You should also eat less fried foods and foods that are difficult to digest and absorb. Calm and warm foods such as yam, longan meat, lotus seeds, red dates, chicken breast, carrots, winter melon, yellow croaker, honey, and oyster mushrooms should be eaten more.

Is early menstruation due to Qi deficiency or Qi and blood deficiency? I believe that after reading the above article, you will know that early menstruation is caused by Qi deficiency and blood heat. Women whose menstruation comes early should develop and improve their own conditions purposefully.
