What causes insomnia before menstruation?

Premenstrual insomnia is generally a manifestation of liver depression and spleen deficiency. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the liver belongs to wood, the spleen belongs to earth, and earth produces wood, so the relationship between the spleen and liver is a mother-child relationship. Mental factors or some diseases affect the comfort of the liver wood, which will in turn damage the spleen earth, resulting in liver depression and spleen deficiency.

Symptoms include right flank pain, hiccups, stomach pain, acid reflux, heartburn, foreign body sensation in the throat, premenstrual insomnia, restless sleep, and frequent dreams. Women may also have menstrual pain, premenstrual breast pain, and mood swings. In severe cases, there may be anxiety and depression, a red tongue with a thin coating, and a deep pulse.

Women's menstruation is a natural manifestation of reproductive organs, and some women feel uncomfortable, dizzy, weak limbs, etc. a few days before menstruation. Some people also often suffer from insomnia. So what is the reason for insomnia before menstruation? Let me find out together below;

1. Endocrine imbalance product development to treat insomnia caused by women during menstruation.

2. Secondly, women’s premenstrual insomnia may be caused by endocrine imbalance during the menstrual cycle. The central nervous system controls the hypothalamus and pituitary gland to secrete follicle-stimulating hormone and progesterone. These pituitary hormones cause the eggs in the uterus and ovaries to gradually grow and develop and secrete more and more estrogen.

3. Estrogen reaches a peak before ovulation, but then drops temporarily after ovulation. After a girl ovulates, the split egg produces progesterone. If the egg cell is not fertilized, the progesterone will decay. When the metabolism of female hormones decreases rapidly, the metabolism of estrogen also decreases slowly, causing the decay and shedding of the uterine wall, and the girl's menarche.

4. After menarche, the estrogen and estrogens in women's bodies are at a relatively low level. Because estrogen participates in the regulation of autonomic nervous system, when estrogen decreases, women will experience neurological disorders such as insomnia.

How to treat insomnia

According to Chinese medicine, during the menstrual period, the yin blood needs to sink downwards, but the body's overall blood and qi have not been adjusted to a sufficient state. If some blood is transferred downwards (to the kidneys), the blood in the upper part will be insufficient, and the liver and kidney yin will be deficient in nourishing the heart, thus causing anxiety. If you are uneasy, you will be irritable (just like people, if you are restless, you will be irritable), and if you are irritable, you will get hot (which is what many women say is passion rushing to the head).

There is no need to worry too much about insomnia or frequent dreams during menstruation, but it is important to pay attention to the fact that this symptom indicates deficiency of Qi and blood. The best solution is to regulate the overall blood and qi of the body rather than taking medicine for insomnia itself.

But you can't ignore it immediately if you don't sleep well. Although the menstrual period will not be too long, about a week, but lack of sleep for a week will cause great harm to the body. Therefore, you should pay attention to treating insomnia during menstruation without affecting your menstrual period. It is recommended that female friends make themselves a cup of lily flower and jujube kernel tea before staying up late.
