What causes female qi and blood deficiency?

We cannot ignore the phenomenon of Qi and blood deficiency, and there are many factors that lead to Qi and blood deficiency, such as insufficient diet, weak spleen and stomach problems, and some may be caused by excessive blood loss, which must be addressed symptomatically.

1. Insufficient diet type : The internal organs of the human body are nourished by qi, blood, and body fluids, which are produced by the essence of water and grain. If the amount of food eaten is insufficient and hunger is sustained for a long time, the production of Qi and blood will be blocked, which will inevitably lead to deficiency of both Qi and blood. In addition, even if the food intake is sufficient, but one is too picky about food, there will also be a lack of raw materials for blood production, resulting in insufficient biochemical sources and anemia, leading to other diseases and symptoms.

2. Weak spleen and stomach type: The basic substances of natural blood mainly come from the essence of water and grain produced by the spleen and stomach. A strong spleen and stomach function can transform the essence of food and water into Qi and blood. If one has an irregular diet or has liver and gallbladder diseases that affect the spleen and stomach, the spleen and stomach functions will be weakened, the essence will be insufficient, and there will be no source of metabolism. After a long time, deficiency of both Qi and blood will occur. Blood deficiency can further affect the functions of other organs.

3. Excessive blood loss type: Excessive blood loss due to trauma, menorrhagia, or other chronic blood loss syndromes can all cause deficiency of both Qi and blood. In addition, frequent bleeding will lead to internal blood stasis and blocked blood vessels, which will cause rebleeding on the one hand and affect the production of new blood on the other hand, thereby aggravating the deficiency of Qi and blood.

4. Overwork type: Serious illness or long-term illness consumes vital energy, or profuse sweating, vomiting, diarrhea, and bleeding damage yang energy and yin fluid; vigorous work consumes energy and damages qi and blood, which will lead to qi deficiency and blood deficiency over time; excessive mental work can easily lead to hidden consumption of yin blood and deficiency of heart blood, all of which can lead to deficiency of both qi and blood.

5. Kidney deficiency type : Kidney is a very important place for the production of sperm. Insufficient congenital endowment, malnutrition and excessive sexual intercourse can all lead to kidney deficiency, and kidney deficiency leads to less essence, and lack of essence leads to blood deficiency, which is also the main cause of deficiency of both Qi and blood.
