What causes female qi deficiency?

Qi deficiency is a term in traditional Chinese medicine. Women with qi deficiency will have symptoms such as fatigue, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and constipation, which have a great impact on their health and life. When a woman shows symptoms of qi deficiency, in addition to timely conditioning, she must also find out the cause and take preventive measures in daily life. So, what causes qi deficiency in women? Let’s take a look at the reasons below.

1. Some patients suffer from qi deficiency due to their parents. If one of the parents has a Qi deficiency, or the mother has severe pregnancy reactions and vomits frequently, it may cause fetal malnutrition and premature birth. After the baby is born, if it is not fed properly, these factors will cause a person to have a Qi deficiency.

2. People who often overwork, have had serious illnesses or have long-term illnesses are also prone to qi deficiency.

3. Mental and physical laborers who are overly fatigued and do not get timely adjustments will gradually develop a weak constitution. People who do mental work overuse their brains for a long time, which will damage their spleen due to worrying and their heart and mind due to fatigue; people who do physical work consume too much physical water, lack of rest and inadequate nutrition, which will cause qi deficiency.

4. This is the main reason why many young women suffer from Qi deficiency. They diet for a long time for a slim figure, which results in insufficient nutrition for the body, gradually weakening the function of internal organs and causing Qi deficiency. In addition, eating a lot of cold, fatty, and greasy food will affect the function of the spleen and stomach, and can easily lead to qi deficiency.

5. Comparing with modern medicine in terms of the causes, symptoms and pulse conditions of the disease, Qi deficiency is very similar to the modern medical concept of "sub-health". The root cause of sub-health is insufficient yin and yang, qi and blood, and poor function of the five internal organs, which is also consistent with insufficient vital energy and qi deficiency.

What are the symptoms of qi deficiency in women?

In fact, it is very obvious that the whole person looks listless and weak all over. He still needs good conditioning. Generally, dysmenorrhea and body chills are also caused by Qi deficiency. There are many cases of Qi deficiency due to congenital factors, but the most common one is caused by daily carelessness.

1. Heart Qi deficiency. In addition to the above-mentioned Qi deficiency symptoms, there are also palpitations, shortness of breath, chest tightness, etc.

2. Spleen deficiency or sinking of qi in the middle part, accompanied by poor appetite, abdominal distension, loose stools, shortness of breath, fatigue, etc.

3. There are still symptoms of Yin deficiency. Such as dry mouth, fever in the five parts of the body, constipation, oliguria, fatigue, red tongue with little coating and thin and stringy pulse.

4. Qi deficiency can easily cause women to suffer from dizziness, tinnitus, and lack of energy. According to traditional Chinese medicine, people with qi deficiency are unable to control blood circulation and their pulses are weak and feeble. That is to say, qi deficiency will be manifested in the pulse, and the pulse beat will be weak or subtle. The most serious manifestation of Qi deficiency is metabolic disorders, loss of appetite, indigestion, frequent abdominal bloating, and a dark yellow or pale complexion.

5. Decreased resistance, decline in body functions, insomnia, forgetfulness, and loss of appetite.
