What is the reason for less menstrual flow at 42 years old?

When female friends reach a certain stage, the functions of the human body will usually undergo different degrees of changes. The menstrual period also confuses some female friends, and some conditions usually cause certain effects on the female body. So what is the reason for the small amount of menstruation at the age of 42?

What is the reason for a small amount of menstrual flow at the age of 42?

1. Excessive work and rest hours lead to endocrine imbalance. Fast-paced life, high-intensity work, and those uncomfortable days every month are probably harmful to many women. If they do not pay attention to maintaining a stable work and rest schedule and relieve stress at this time, it is likely to lead to oligomenorrhea.

2. Often angry and depressed. Female friends should never hold back when they feel depressed. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, depression can easily lead to liver qi stagnation, which can lead to less menstrual flow. In addition, excessive mental stimulation, anxiety and psychological trauma can also lead to oligomenorrhea.

3. Human resource flow. After an abortion, the uterus and ovaries can generally resume ovulation function within 22 days, and menstruation will occur around January. However, a very small number of women experience prolonged menstruation, irregular cycle duration, and amenorrhea after abortion, which usually recover after 2-3 months.

4. Ovarian decline. The function of the ovaries directly affects women's menstrual period. In the late period, the menstrual flow is small. Most modern scientists believe that it is related to poor uterine development or anovulation. Therefore, promoting ovulation and strengthening the ovaries are the key steps in treating oligomenorrhea.

5. Chest diseases. Many women experience premenstrual breast pain but little menstrual flow. This should never be ignored. Symptoms such as breast pain may be caused by liver qi stagnation, and require soothing the liver and regulating qi, connecting the blood vessels, and thus achieving the overall effect of regulating menstruation.

TCM syndrome differentiation: less menstrual period

1. Dialectics are based on kidney deficiency and blood deficiency. For late menstruation and scanty menstrual flow, traditional theory believes that the syndrome should be divided into real and false. Deficiency includes kidney deficiency, deficiency of both qi and blood, deficiency of kidney yin, and deficiency of yang. Register cold stagnation, qi obstruction, and phlegm stagnation. Based on my long-term diagnosis and treatment experience, I think that although there is a distinction between real and false in late menstruation and scanty menstruation, the main one is false, and kidney deficiency, blood deficiency, and Chong and Ren disorders are the key syndrome differentiation and treatment.

2. Treat and regulate the kidneys to cure the root cause. Nourish Qi and blood, nourish blood and cultivate its source. Regarding the above-mentioned syndrome differentiation and treatment, I have formulated a treatment method that focuses on regulating the kidney, nourishing the kidney, gently replenishing the menstruation, and nourishing the qi and blood based on the basic formula for regulating menstruation, according to the principle that "regulating the kidney is the basis for regulating menstruation", "blood is the material condition for menstruation", and "qi is the driving force for the operation of blood vessels".

3. Integrate all the knowledge and practice, during the ovulation period, you should also eliminate phlegm and dampness, and promote blood circulation and dredge the meridians. Late menstruation and scanty menstrual flow are mostly believed by modern scientists to be related to poor uterine development or anovulation. Therefore, ovulation induction is a key step in the treatment of menstruation regulation. In addition to regulating the kidney and nourishing the kidney, replenishing qi and nourishing blood as the basic formula, I believe that the medication should be combined according to the patient's physical fitness factors, and the meridian-opening products should be used dialectically to promote ovulation. If the body is obese with excessive phlegm, or excessive hair, expectorants should be combined to resolve phlegm, remove dampness and unclog the meridians. If dampness and phlegm damage the body fluid or if there is external wind, cold and dampness, you should add appropriate amounts of heat-clearing, detoxifying, dampness-removing and meridian-opening products. If the patient is prone to depression and gets angry easily, then add some medicines that soothe the liver, regulate qi and unclog the meridians. Products that promote blood circulation and dredge meridians can be used in the middle and late stages of menstruation or throughout the entire period.
