What to do if you have difficulty with menstruation

Women are more concerned about menstrual problems, because if menstruation is abnormal, it means that there is a problem with the female body. What should you do if you have irregular menstruation? Irregular menstruation is mostly manifested by a decrease in menstrual bleeding. This situation is usually caused by blood deficiency, kidney deficiency, blood stasis and other reasons. Therefore, you can regulate your body through some methods of traditional Chinese medicine. Let’s learn about the details together.

1. What are the causes of irregular menstruation?

Traditional Chinese medicine calls this phenomenon oligomenorrhea. According to the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, women’s scanty menstruation may be related to the following factors:

(1) Blood deficiency: Physical blood deficiency or traumatic bleeding, postpartum hemorrhage, and postoperative bleeding can all cause blood deficiency in the body, resulting in insufficient blood and reduced menstrual flow.

(2) Kidney deficiency: congenital deficiency of kidney qi and kidney essence, or damage to the kidneys due to excessive sexual intercourse, too many births, artificial abortions, etc., resulting in insufficient kidney qi, insufficient essence and blood, an empty blood sea and a decrease in menstrual flow.

⑶ Blood stasis: Women who are exposed to cold during menstruation may suffer from invasion of evil cold, which may cause blood to coagulate; or women who quarrel with others or feel depressed during menstruation may suffer from qi stagnation and blood stasis; or external trauma may cause blood stasis, which may all lead to poor menstrual blood circulation and oligomenorrhea.

⑷ Phlegm-dampness: Obese women have a phlegm-dampness body type; because phlegm-dampness blocks the meridians, the menstrual blood flows poorly, resulting in scanty menstruation.

Some women who take birth control pills for a long time may experience a gradual decrease in menstruation. When a girl reaches her first menstruation, the amount of menstruation is usually not much, and when a woman reaches menopause, it is a normal physiological phenomenon and neither requires treatment. In addition, if a woman finds that her menstrual volume is decreasing, she should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time to avoid menstrual blockage. Traditional Chinese medicine has excellent experience and results in regulating reproductive function (menstruation regulation), without any side effects, and its long-term prognosis is far superior to that of Western medicine. It also has more methods for treating intractable and stubborn menstrual disorders than Western medicine.

2. What to do if you have irregular menstruation

Generally speaking, women who experience delayed menstruation and scanty menstruation are suffering from irregular menstruation. Clinically, the main causes of irregular menstruation are endocrine disorders, imbalances and urinary system diseases, such as gynecological inflammation, internal uterine diseases, etc. This needs to be taken seriously, because long-term irregular menstruation in women will directly lead to abnormal ovulation, which will have a great impact on normal conception in the future. Currently, the commonly used targeted conditioning method, donkey-hide gelatin and Huangjing pills, is used to restore normal menstruation. Menstruation regulation is a chronic process. The Chinese medicine Ejiao Huangjing Pill works by improving the functions of the body's internal organs, qi and blood, and meridians. The entire body will readjust its functions under the action of the medicine, so short-term lack of obvious functional effects is an inevitable process in treatment, but the later effects will be unmatched by other drugs, especially after stopping the drug, the subsequent effects will continue because the body's condition has improved. If you have insufficient Qi and blood, you can take Guipi Pills for treatment to replenish both Qi and blood. You can also regulate your body through usual diet therapy, such as eating more yam, jujube, longan, etc.

The days when "menstruation" comes every month are the most distressing days for many women, especially those with irregular menstruation. After "menstruation" is gone this month, they have to calculate whether "menstruation" will come on time next month. Little do people know that if their period is not on time, it may be a sign of some minor health problems. Menstruation can be affected by many factors: endocrine disorders, uterine diseases, gynecological inflammation, mental factors, mood swings, environmental changes, exposure to colds, drug effects, fatigue, excessive stress and nutritional status, etc. can all affect the regularity of menstruation. According to traditional Chinese medicine, irregular menstruation can be divided into qi stagnation and blood stasis type, cold and dampness stagnation type, qi and blood deficiency type, etc. Among them, the most common one is irregular menstruation caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis. In order to prevent and treat irregular menstruation caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis and poor blood circulation, in addition to treating it with Ejiao Huangjing Pills, you must pay attention to keeping warm. If women are exposed to cold during menstruation, the blood vessels in the pelvis will constrict, leading to ovarian dysfunction, which can cause too little menstrual flow or even amenorrhea. Emotional regulation is also very important. If women of childbearing age are under long-term stress, it will inhibit the function of the pituitary gland and menstruation will begin to become disordered. Long-term depression, sulking or bad mood will also affect menstruation. In addition, in terms of diet, you may want to eat more foods that have the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, such as peach kernels, rapeseed, water chestnuts, black beans, etc. You can also drink a small amount of red wine regularly; at the same time, limit the intake of salt and MSG to avoid increasing blood viscosity and aggravating the degree of blood stasis.
