Causes of various symptoms before and after menopause

The occurrence of this disease is closely related to the physiological characteristics of women before and after menopause. During the 49th day of pregnancy, kidney essence gradually declines, Tiangui gradually depletes, the Chong and Ren meridians gradually become weak, menstruation will stop and menopause will come. At this physiological turning point, affected by the internal and external environment of the human body, such as a certain decline in the yang and yin of the body, congenital depression, chronic illness, or environmental damage such as family and society, it is easy to cause imbalance of kidney yin and yang and cause illness.

"The kidney is the foundation of the innate constitution" and "when the five internal organs are affected, the kidney will be affected", so the imbalance of yin and yang in the kidney can easily spread to the other internal organs. If other internal organs become diseased over time, the kidneys will inevitably be affected. Therefore, the root of the disease is in the kidneys, and it often affects the heart, liver, spleen and other organs, resulting in complex symptoms of the disease.

Differentiation and treatment of various symptoms before and after menopause

1. Liver and kidney yin deficiency

The kidney yang is deficient, the essence is deficient and the blood is insufficient. Before and after menopause, the essence is gradually exhausted and the essence and energy are weakened. Or there are worries and doubts, and accumulated thoughts in the heart, which lead to dullness and depletion of the vitality. Or couples have frequent sexual intercourse, which depletes the essence and energy and makes the kidney yang deficiency even weaker. The true yin is deficient, the Chong and Ren meridians are weakened, and the five internal organs are damaged, which leads to various symptoms before and after menopause.

2. Yin deficiency and excessive fire

The body is naturally deficient in yin and weak in fire, and before and after menopause, the kidney essence becomes even weaker; or it may be caused by sexual intercourse between couples, which damages the kidney essence; the fire of the Mingmen is weak, the Chong and Ren meridians are out of balance, and the five internal organs lose warmth, thus leading to various symptoms before and after menopause.

3. Kidney Yin and Yang Deficiency

The kidneys store the original yin and contain the original yang. If the yin is damaged and the yang is compromised, or if the yang is damaged and the yin is compromised, the true yin and yang will be insufficient and cannot nourish and warm the internal organs, resulting in Chong and Ren disorders, which will lead to various symptoms before and after menopause.

4. Disharmony between the heart and kidney

Before and after menopause, the kidney water is insufficient and cannot nourish the heart, resulting in internal fire being hyperactive and heat disturbing the heart and soul, causing heart-kidney disharmony, and leading to various symptoms before and after menopause.
