Is it considered normal to have a low menstrual flow and a short menstrual period despite a normal menstrual cycle? — Of course not. In Chinese medicine, menstruation lasts for less than two days or the volume of menstruation is significantly less than that of menstruation, which is also called “astringent menstrual flow” or “unpleasant menstruation”. If not treated in time, it may develop into amenorrhea. Therefore, once the symptoms of menorrhagia appear, it should not be taken lightly. What causes menorrhagia? Chinese medicine classifies them as actual and deficiency symptoms. The actual evidence is that the sea of blood is blocked and the menstrual flow is not smooth; the deficiency evidence is that the blood source is insufficient and the sea of blood is not full. The actual evidence is divided into blood stagnation and phlegm dampness 1, blood stagnation Some women wear very little in winter in order to show a beautiful body, resulting in the invasion of cold. The cold is driven straight in and the blood is condensed by the cold, causing the menstrual blood to run poorly and decrease. Some women are angry or angry, resulting in stagnation of blood and obstruction of the uterus, resulting in too little menstrual blood. 2, phlegm dampness This condition is mostly seen in some women who are fat, often eat fatty, sweet and thick things, resulting in the spleen and stomach dysfunctional transportation, water and dampness stagnation. Dampness gathered for a long time into phlegm, transformed into phlegm dampness. Phlegm-dampness blocks the meridians, resulting in poor blood flow and reduced menstrual blood. The deficiency is divided into blood deficiency and kidney deficiency 1, blood deficiency Women have to lose a lot of blood throughout their lives, not to mention the monthly menstruation, the birth of a child alone will lose a lot of blood; and after becoming a mother, the milk used for breastfeeding is also converted from the blood in the body; plus some women love to cry, tears are also made of blood …… these also Not including the liver blood depleted by frequent sentimentality. So, it is extremely common for women to have blood deficiency. 2, kidney deficiency congenital kidney deficiency, or too frequent intercourse damage kidney qi, resulting in punch deficiency, blood sea deficiency, low menstrual volume. In addition, frequent abortions can also cause low menstrual flow. Conditioning is the most important – drink black bean and safflower soup If you have symptoms of low menstrual flow, you may want to try black bean and safflower soup. Safflower, which has the effect of invigorating the blood and regulating it, can also nourish the blood. Black beans are useful for nourishing the kidneys and can effectively relieve symptoms such as frequent urination, urinary urgency and night sweats, as well as invigorate the blood and nourish it. Brown sugar, which is warm in nature, has the effects of invigorating blood and dispersing cold, benefiting Qi and nourishing blood, warming the stomach and strengthening the spleen, resolving siltation and relieving pain. How to do it: Prepare two small handfuls of black beans, 3 grams of safflower and 30 grams of brown sugar. Wash the black beans and safflower well first.
