1. Treat the symptoms

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that in treating irregular menstruation, the cause of the disease should be identified first, and then symptomatic treatment can be given. Treatment of irregular menstruation usually starts with tonifying the kidney, supporting the spleen, soothing the liver, and regulating qi and blood. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that menstrual fluid comes from the kidneys, so the key to regulating menstruation is to nourish the kidneys. By conditioning the kidney to be sufficient and the essence and blood to be abundant, menstruation will naturally be regulated. The method of tonifying the kidney is mainly to replenish essence and blood. The function of the spleen is to produce blood. Nourishing the spleen and stomach can replenish the body's blood supply. The spleen-strengthening method focuses on strengthening the spleen and raising yang. The purpose of soothing the liver and regulating qi is to regulate qi and unblock qi and blood. If qi and blood are in harmony, menstruation will be regulated. The method of soothing the liver requires understanding the main symptoms of depression.
