Sleeplessness during menstruation is analyzed from the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which is mainly due to deficiency of qi and blood, and deficiency of kidney essence. Sleeplessness during menstruation refers to the state of drowsiness during menstruation or before and after menstruation, regardless of day and night. The patient’s general symptom is that she wakes up when she calls out, and is drowsy again when she wakes up. 1. Qi and blood deficiency: This cause of menstrual drowsiness is mostly seen in women with weak physique, manifesting as less breath and lazy speech (lack of strength, don’t want to talk), tiredness and fatigue (tiredness and fatigue), palpitation (heartbeat accelerated, often accompanied by panic) and restlessness, drowsiness and so on. 2. Kidney essence deficiency: This cause of menstrual drowsiness is characterized by lumbar and knee soreness (a feeling of soreness and weakness in the lumbar and knee areas), deafness and tinnitus, dullness and drowsiness during menstruation. If you are unable to sleep during menstruation, it is recommended that you may visit a hospital for early and regular treatment.
