Will insufficient blood lead to scanty menstruation?

We often hear that some women are in poor physical condition due to deficiency of Qi and blood, which shows the importance of blood and Qi for women. In fact, sufficient blood and qi play an important role in women's menstruation, pregnancy process, and childbirth. So, will deficiency of both Qi and blood cause scanty menstrual flow?

Will deficiency of Qi and blood cause less menstrual flow?

Menstrual disorders caused by deficiency of both Qi and blood are usually characterized by small amount of menstrual flow, which ends in one or two days, or even just a little bit of menstruation. In some cases, the cycle time is prolonged, and the menstrual flow comes once every few months. The color of the menstrual blood is light red and thin. Some secondary symptoms may also occur, such as dizziness, irritability and insomnia, rough and dull skin, sallow complexion, pale mouth and nails, thin tongue coating, and a thin and weak pulse. Due to the decline of Ying and blood, Chong and Ren meridians are both deficient in Qi and blood, and the Xuehai acupoint is very small, so the menstrual flow is small, and it stops within a few days, or even just a little bit. The menstrual blood is light red in color and thin in texture. The deficiency of Qi and blood cannot nourish the clear orifices, so there is dizziness and vertigo. The deficiency of Qi and blood cannot nourish the spirit, so there is irritability and insomnia. Insufficient Qi and blood cannot nourish the skin, so the face is sallow, and the skin is rough, dull and lifeless, so the Qi and blood must be adjusted immediately.

Generally speaking, the elderly, malnutrition and disease consumption are prone to cause deficiency of Qi and blood, while young people should be in the period of "strong bones and tendons, full and strong muscles, and strong body", but now many young people, especially girls, lose weight too much in order to be slender, often eat "junk food" with unbalanced nutrition, often stay up late to watch Korean dramas on the Internet, use electronic devices too much, and lack of exercise, all of which lead to excessive consumption of Yin blood. If the consumed blood and qi cannot be replenished in time, it will lead to deficiency of both qi and blood and cause corresponding symptoms.

People with insufficient qi and blood usually need to increase nutrition, such as milk, eggs, soy milk, beef liver, broccoli, pork, chicken breast, beef, etc., and are forbidden to eat raw and cold foods, fruits and vegetables.
