The ancients called menstruation "monthly letter", as the name implies, that is, it should be fixed every month, just like the moon in nature has round after round, the sea water has ebb and flow, and the menstruation of girls should also change and circulate regularly.
Western medicine: endometrial thickening and shedding form menstruation. From the perspective of modern medicine, women are affected by hormones every month, and the arterioles in the endometrium proliferate, which makes the endometrium thicker. If you are not pregnant, the endometrium will fall off and form menstruation.
Chinese medicine: Qi and blood enrich the uterus, replacing the old with the new classics. However, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, menstruation is formed through daily newspapers (the influence of hormones appears), kidney essence begins to play a role, and the qi and blood of the five internal organs (the essence in the body) pours blood into the sea through pulse conditions to enrich the uterus; At this time, if you are not pregnant, the uterus will replace the old and expel the old substance, which is menstruation.
Therefore, we can imagine the uterus as a piece of soil. On weekdays, the body will irrigate the soil with various nutrients to prepare for the seeds (life) in the future, just like the Nile regularly floods, bringing fertile soil to the surrounding areas and making crops harvest.
Menstrual regularity, uterine health, menstrual disorder are easy to infertility and abortion.
The menstrual cycle is the process of enriching the uterus. If menstruation is reported on time and discharged smoothly, it means that the body function is good and the uterus is healthy (fertile soil). After pregnancy, there will be enough nutrition to give birth to life (let the seeds germinate) and thrive. On the other hand, if menstruation is irregular, it means that the uterine function is poor (poor soil ridge), which is not only difficult to conceive, but also easy to miscarry (loose soil loss) after pregnancy. Therefore, if women have irregular conditions such as late menstruation and early leave, they should seek medical treatment as soon as possible so as not to affect their fertility!
Is menstruation normal?
Observing the amount of menstruation, the normal menstruation is about 28 days, but everyone will be a little different, and a few people even come once every three months or six months. After menstruating, the menstrual time is 3-7 days each time, and the menstrual flow is about 50-80cc. If you want to judge whether menstruation is normal, you should also pay attention to color, texture, and whether it is accompanied by secretions and stomachache. In addition, if you bleed outside the menstrual period, you must be vigilant and seek medical attention as soon as possible.
Young girls' excessive use of their brains can easily lead to irregular menstruation.
Girls and adult women who are studying may have irregular menstruation. For girls who have just had their first menstrual cramp, it may be because the ovaries are not fully developed, or the uterine contractility is not good, which leads to menstruation coming once for a long time, or once for a long time. In addition, there is a very important reason, that is, girls are in the school stage and have great academic pressure, which easily affects the menstrual cycle because of excessive brain use.
The reproductive ability of TCM is related to the kidney, which governs the marrow, brain and brain, and is the intersection of many important meridians. When the brain is overused, the qi and blood (nutrients) of the body will be sent to the brain first, leading to the emptiness of the lower body and the lack of nutrition in the kidneys, leading to the instability of menarche. Clinical experience shows that the better the academic performance, the more chaotic the menstrual cycle. In addition to excessive brain use, staying up late to study, eating ice products and drinking ice drinks are also common reasons for irregular menarche.
Adult women who eat spicy food late at night have many menstrual disorders.
As for adult women, it is more common to have menstruation early or late, which can be roughly divided into four types. However, no matter what type, if menstruation is often irregular, it is necessary to seek medical advice to find out the reason. It is suggested that you can adjust your body function through Chinese medicine to avoid delaying fertility events!
