What should women do when they are weak during menstruation?

For women, there are a few days every month when their tempers tend to be bad and their body's immunity is at its lowest. If you don't pay attention, your body will become very weak. Especially women who suffer from dysmenorrhea often experience stomach pain, cold sweats, dizziness and physical weakness. In severe cases, vomiting may occur, and some people may even develop gynecological diseases. So, what should women do if they are weak during menstruation?

Menstruation is a physiological phenomenon of women and a "patent" given to women by God. However, many women cannot bear such a "patent". When menstruation is about to come, it is like facing a "disaster" of varying sizes. Many women are deeply troubled by breast tenderness before menstruation, pain and discomfort during menstruation, and weakness and dizziness after menstruation.

Before menstruation

Symptoms: breast tenderness, emotional instability, headache, insomnia, abdominal distension or diarrhea, oral ulcers, among which breast tenderness is the most common. In severe cases, both breasts cannot be touched; or bad mood, irritability, anxiety, and pessimism. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the appearance of these symptoms is mainly related to liver depression and qi stagnation, and liver blood deficiency, and some Chinese patent medicines that have the effect of relieving liver qi and replenishing liver blood should be used. The more commonly used one is Jiawei Xiaoyao Pills, which is a medicine made by adding moutan bark and gardenia to Xiaoyao Powder, a famous Chinese medicine prescription for regulating menstruation and nourishing blood. Xiaoyao Powder is mainly composed of Bupleurum, Angelica, White Peony Root, Poria, Atractylodes, Licorice, etc. Among them, Bupleurum, White Peony Root and Angelica Sinensis are the main medicines in the prescription. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that liver dysfunction will affect spleen function, so the prescription also adds drugs such as Poria cocos, Atractylodes macrocephala, and Licorice, which actually embodies the essence of traditional Chinese medicine's idea of ​​preventing disease from worsening. Moreover, the spleen is the source of qi and blood production, and only when the spleen functions normally can the liver blood be "full".

During menstruation

Symptoms: unbearable lower back pain and abdominal pain, even severe pain and fainting, accompanied by nausea and vomiting, and dark red clots in the menstrual blood.

This is a symptom of dysmenorrhea. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that dysmenorrhea can be divided into two categories: deficiency and excess, with excess being the most common. Most of the excess syndromes are related to blood stasis caused by cold, and blood stasis caused by qi stagnation. Abdominal pain often occurs in the early stages of menstruation. If there are relatively many blood clots in the menstrual blood and the pain is relieved after the blood clots are discharged, it is due to blood stasis caused by cold, and Shaofu Zhuyu Capsule can be used. It contains medicines such as fennel and dried ginger. The whole formula warms the meridians, dispels cold, resolves blood stasis and relieves pain. In addition, Yueyueshu Granules can also warm the meridians and remove blood stasis, and are also effective for this type of dysmenorrhea.

Deficiency-syndrome dysmenorrhea is mainly related to insufficient Qi and blood, and deficiency of the liver and kidneys. It manifests as dull pain and heaviness in the abdomen, preference for kneading and pressing, and pain in the waist as if it were broken. It often occurs in the late stages of menstruation. The Chinese patent medicines that can be used include Bazhen Yimu Pills and Liuwei Dihuang Pills.

To sum up, women with weak menstruation bodies need to be very careful, and neither their diet nor their lifestyle habits can be neglected. It is common for women to feel physically weak during menstruation. If the condition is very serious, it is recommended to go to the hospital for timely treatment to avoid worsening of the disease. Of course, one thing you need to note is that you should not take too much supplements when your body is weak during menstruation. You can only take supplements after the menstrual period. This is the reason why the body cannot be supplemented if it is weak. Finally, I hope the above content is helpful to you!
