Endometrial thickening is a western concept, its main symptoms are irregular menstrual bleeding, prolonged menstrual period or excessive menstrual flow, etc., Chinese medicine is categorized as menstrual pre-menstrual period, late menstrual period, menstrual disorders and other categories.
According to TCM theory, endometrial thickening is mainly based on factors such as deficiency of the liver and kidneys, and weakness of the spleen and qi (spleen qi weakness), which leads to Chong Ren Dystrophy (a malfunction of the Chong Vein and Ren Vein, resulting in the body’s qi and blood not being able to pass through the body), which fails to regulate the menstrual blood and results in menstrual abnormality. Common diagnoses include Liver Depression, Kidney Deficiency and Blood Stasis.

Liver depression: mainly manifested as abnormal menstruation, accompanied by distension and pain in the chest and hypochondrium areas, distension and pain in the abdomen, aggravated by emotional stimulation, etc. It can be treated by using Free San or Chai Hu Liver-Sparing San to regulate menstruation by dispersing the liver and regulating the flow of qi.
