What's wrong with a slippery pulse when you're not pregnant?

Slippery pulse is a type of pulse condition that usually occurs in women, representing a sign of pregnancy. It is also very common for women to have a slippery pulse when they are not pregnant. This may indicate a phenomenon caused by a disease in the female body. When women suffer from chest tightness, excessive phlegm, or dizziness, they are likely to have a slippery pulse.

How to ignore slippery pulse when not pregnant?

If a woman is diagnosed with slippery pulse when she is not pregnant and can feel that she has pathological conditions, the following reasons may be the cause:

1. Right Cun pulse is slippery

The causes of the disease are: vomiting, chest fullness, asthma, cough, and excessive phlegm inside the body. They are caused by the accumulation of phlegm and fluid in the lungs, or phlegm and fire in the lungs, resulting in the failure of Qi to descend.

2. Left Cun pulse is slippery

Causes of the disease include: tongue stiffness, palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, irritability, insomnia, nightmares, mental confusion, etc. It is caused by phlegm-heat disturbing the heart, blocking the meridians and obstructing the clear orifices.

3. Slippery pulse at right guan

The causes of the disease are: abdominal distension and stuffiness, undigested food, acid regurgitation after eating little, vomiting after eating, hot and smelly vomit, and abdominal pain that is resistant to pressure. It is mostly caused by food stagnation turning into heat, which damages the spleen and stomach.

4. Slippery pulse at left guan

The causes of the disease are: distension and pain in the ribs, alternating chills and fever, irritability, poor appetite and vomiting, dizziness, bitter and dry mouth, invasion of gallbladder evil, hot sweats, and abdominal distension, etc. It is mostly caused by liver and gallbladder heat affecting the spleen and stomach, or liver wind and phlegm disturbing the body.

5. Slippery left radial pulse

The causes of the disease are: turbid urine, red urine, urgent urination, frequent urination or difficult urination, painful urination, spermatorrhea, and turbid leucorrhea in women. It is caused by the accumulation of damp heat in the bladder, urethra, uterus, etc.

6. Slippery right radial pulse

The causes of the disease are: abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloody stool, small amount of stool and frequent stool, tenesmus, or amenorrhea, low back pain, abdominal pain, etc. in women. It is caused by internal accumulation of dampness and heat, stagnation of toxins in the intestines, or stagnation of blood and qi, and different meridians. The bloody stool here refers to dysentery or intestinal inflammation.

In addition to pregnancy, slippery pulse can also occur during a woman's menstrual period. However, it is impossible to determine whether a woman is pregnant by looking at the slippery pulse. There are actually more scientific ways to determine whether you are pregnant. The simplest one is to check the early pregnancy test. Generally, if your menstruation is regular, you can check if your period is delayed by 2-3 days.

More accurate than the early pregnancy test is the blood test for HCG, which is human chorionic gonadotropin. It can be detected about a week earlier than the urine pregnancy test. Another way to detect pregnancy is to measure your basal body temperature regularly. If the basal body temperature remains high for more than 16 days, you are very likely pregnant. This is a relatively early detection method. If the pregnancy occurs later than this, if the menstruation has stopped for close to 40 days, the gestational sac can be seen by B-ultrasound.
