TCM pathogenesis of irregular menstruation

Irregular menstruation is a common disease among women. Its cause is closely related to the liver, spleen and kidneys. Understanding the TCM pathogenesis of irregular menstruation can help patients take symptomatic Chinese medicine treatment.

1. Lack of innate talent

The kidney is the foundation of one's innate constitution. Insufficient innate constitution is often caused by the pregnancy process or genetic factors, which results in women being weak from an early age, having less menstruation, late menstruation, less menstrual volume, indigestion, etc.

2. Dysfunction of spleen and stomach

The spleen and stomach are the source of Qi and blood, and also the source of menstrual blood. If you do not eat properly or work too hard, your spleen will be damaged and lose its control, which will lead to irregular menstruation, heavy menstruation, and irregular menstruation.

3. Uncomfortable mood

Female menstruation is closely related to the liver. The liver is responsible for regulating the flow of qi, which ensures the normal menstruation. However, high work pressure, irregular life, mental depression, sulking, and major mental stimulation can cause liver qi stagnation, which can lead to irregular menstruation, heavy menstruation, and other symptoms.

4. Multi-birth labor

Polyparity refers to the frequent births and abortions, which leads to a thin endometrium and difficulty in recovering in a short period of time. Irregular sex life, too frequent sex or long intervals between sexes can also cause irregular menstruation in women.

5. Cold stagnation and qi stagnation

Blood coagulates when it is cold. A weak and cold constitution or a woman's preference for cold food can cause excessive contraction of blood vessels in the pelvic cavity during menstruation, leading to ovarian dysfunction, irregular menstruation, and aggravated abdominal pain.
