How does Traditional Chinese Medicine understand female amenorrhea?

Amenorrhea is a common symptom of menstrual disorders and is the most difficult to cure. Traditional Chinese medicine is generally recommended for the treatment of menstrual disorders, so below we will introduce how to understand amenorrhea from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine.

Some girls experience amenorrhea for a period of time after their first menstruation, amenorrhea during menopause and menopause; temporary amenorrhea during pregnancy or lactation, etc. These are physiological phenomena and are not considered amenorrhea. Some women occasionally miss their periods once or twice due to sudden changes in their living environment, and if they have no other discomfort, they can be temporarily not considered as having amenorrhea.

As for those who have no menstruation due to congenital genital organ abnormalities or acquired organic damage, such as congenital absence of uterus and ovaries, or acquired damage to ovaries, or pituitary tumors, or congenital defects or acquired damage to the cervix, vagina, hymen, labia, etc., resulting in adhesion closure, which prevents menstrual blood from overflowing, or diaphragms in the vagina and uterus, which affect the overflow of menstrual blood, and pseudo-amenorrhea, non-drug treatment can be effective.

Amenorrhea is the gynecological reflection of overall dysfunction, involving the function of internal organs and the prosperity, decline, smoothness and stagnation of Chong and Ren Qi and blood. The etiology is complex and the syndromes are numerous. Therefore, it is necessary to first distinguish the deficiency and excess according to the overall situation, combined with the age of onset, medical history and clinical manifestations of amenorrhea. That is, the dryness and diaphragm pointed out by Zhang Jingyue. The syndrome of blood dryness is similar to blood stagnation, both of which are symptoms of amenorrhea. However, dryness and diaphragm are opposite, like ice and charcoal. Dryness means dryness and exhaustion, which is the extreme of blood deficiency. Diastasis means obstruction. The blood is not deficient, but there is some reversal of Qi, cold or accumulation.

Most people with deficiency have a history of congenital maldevelopment, postnatal injury, or blood loss. They are often pale or sallow, or have red cheeks, thin or short body, accompanied by dizziness, palpitations, weakness, poor appetite or loose stools, or hot flashes, cough, or backache, no abdominal distension or pain, pale or red tongue, and weak pulse.

Those with excess syndrome mostly have a history of cold, cold drinks, wading, mental stimulation, environmental changes, etc., and are usually stout or obese, with back pain, chest and flank distension, or abdominal distension and phlegm. The pulse is deep and stringy or slippery, and those who are over 18 years old have not yet had menstruation, or have late menarche, and their symptoms of deficiency and excess are not obvious. Those who are obese, have lower abdominal pain, and have a deep and strong pulse are excess, while those who are thin, have a thin waist and weak body, and have a thin and weak pulse. Those with a pale red tongue are deficiency.

Generally, deficiency syndrome is more common. If amenorrhea is caused by excess syndrome and is mistreated, it can also be transformed into deficiency syndrome. However, there are a few cases where mistreatment leads to excess syndrome, resulting in obesity and complex syndromes of deficiency and excess syndrome. Therefore, treatment needs to take care of Qi and blood, and one should not just unblock the menstruation and see blood. One should not assume that amenorrhea is caused by blood stasis and abuse the method of breaking through and promoting circulation, which will seriously injure Qi and blood. One should also not assume that amenorrhea is caused by deficiency and blood dryness and frequently use blood-nourishing products, which will injure the spleen and stomach or suppress kidney yang, but will make dryness worse and stagnation worse, aggravating the condition. One should avoid "the taboo of deficiency and excess".

In addition, the treatment of amenorrhea should also distinguish the order of menstrual disease and other diseases. If amenorrhea is caused by other diseases, the former should be treated first. Once the disease is cured, menstruation will flow naturally.
