I would like to teach you this article to know the amount of menstruation: 1. “How is normal menstruation?” According to the university textbook: the normal menstrual cycle is 28-35 days; each period is about 3-5 days; the amount of menstruation 30-80ml is the right amount, figuratively speaking, that is, less than 1 tael of white wine cup 1-2 cups, more than 80ml is excessive menstruation. The color of menstruation is mostly dark red, the quality of menstruation is not thin, not thick, not clotted, no blood clots, no special odor. Many people are surprised: “Is the normal menstrual flow so small? I still feel less than 200ml every time I come!” 2. “What are the causes of excessive menstruation?” From the perspective of Chinese medicine, there are several aspects, such as spleen deficiency, kidney deficiency, blood heat, blood stasis, etc. In layman’s terms, the reason is that many modern women due to work, life, study pressure, heavy thought burden, depression, environmental factors, coupled with some bad habits (such as diet, over-eating dry and blood moving products, diet, drug diet, irregular work and rest, menstruation after delivery, etc.), damage the spleen, spleen does not control blood, blood loss of control; kidney deficiency, blood loss of control. The blood is not regulated by the spleen; the kidney is deficient and does not fix the ramifications; heat disturbs the ramifications and forces the blood to move; qi stagnation and blood stasis block the ramifications and the blood does not return to the menstruation; all of these eventually lead to heavy menstrual flow. In severe cases, the menstrual cycle, period and volume of menstruation are seriously disturbed, and in some cases, they may be intermittent for several months. Over time, this leads to physical weakness, yellowish face, pale lips and nails, reduced food, tiredness, insomnia, anxiety and restlessness, often with varying degrees of anemia, affecting work, study and life, forming a vicious circle in the long run. 3. “How to treat heavy menstruation?” This is the most concerned issue, first of all, to find the cause, for the cause of treatment. Such as spleen deficiency, to nourish the spleen, usually increase nutrition, enhance physical fitness, appropriate exercise, you can often eat some yam, with ginseng, astragalus, angelica, rehmannia boiled water, you can also take ginseng spleen pill or spleen pill, benefit the qi, blood, spleen nourish the heart; if it is due to mental, emotional, stress-related reasons should be self-regulation, relaxation, so that the mood, liver Qi, from the spiritual and psychological regulation, but also If it is due to kidney Yin deficiency, take Liu Wei Di Huang Wan; if it is due to kidney Yang deficiency, take Jin Kui Kidney Qi Wan; if it is due to cold stasis caused by wading in the rain or cold, avoid cold, pay attention to warmth, and in serious cases, take Ai Shen Nuan Gong Wan; if it is due to blood stasis caused by internal heat, stagnant blood is stopped inside, and new blood cannot return to the menstruation, resulting in the overflow of blood away from the menstruation, it should be regulated with blood stasis stopping medicine. Regardless of the type, as long as the TCM diagnosis and treatment, choose the appropriate treatment method, the correct condemnation of the prescription, the acute period to “plug the flow and plug the leakage” as the main, remission period to “fill the source” as the main, can achieve satisfactory results. 4. “What do I need to pay attention to when I have heavy menstruation?” I found that many patients after the onset of the application of a large number of blood products, Qi products, kidney and Yang products, thinking that this can be lost blood back; there are many beautiful women, very concerned about their appearance, once you see their emaciated, yellow, dry, lusterless, pale face, think that the body lacks beauty tonic, so take a lot of beauty tonic, thinking that this will The reason for this is that many people have too much menstruation, resulting in a loss of facial nourishment. Because the heart is the master of the blood, and its flower is in the face, the heart blood deficiency, can not be glorified, then the face is white, lip and tongue pale; the result is the opposite of what they expect, Chinese medicine, this phenomenon is called “leaky pot difficult to fill”. In other words, it dawned on everyone: “to the leaky kettle filled with water, the kettle is never full”! So trace the source, should first solve the problem of excessive menstruation, only dialectical medicine to cure the root of the disease, so that the “leaky pot full”, the face will naturally rosy and lustrous, and only think of “fill the source” is not enough. This is like a pot of flowers that are not fertilized and watered, the branches and leaves will be dry and lusterless, only think of sprinkling water on the branches and leaves, apply nutrient solution, but not from the root of the flower to cultivate it, is not helpful. So remind us not to blindly supplement, and do not use drugs on their own, which will be counterproductive. 5. “Heavy menstrual flow due to thickened endometrium, scraping several times still thickened, can heavy menstrual flow be regulated with herbs?” My answer here is yes. I often encounter such patients in the clinic, because the endometrial thickening in the western hospital scraping several times, the endometrium for pathology is not abnormal, the body is too weak to accept scraping, and come to the clinic, pale, serious family members to help into the clinic, I detailed medical history, see the tongue and cut pulse, dialectical Chinese medicine to regulate a period of time, menstrual flow significantly reduced, re-examination of the endometrium also did not thicken, look better. The result was very good. If a patient is diagnosed for the first time with a thick lining and heavy menstruation, I would suggest her to have a scraping to exclude the endometrial lesions. 6. “How to prevent heavy menstrual flow?” First of all, we should regulate our emotions and avoid mental stimulation; secondly, we should pay attention to diet, eat less or no spicy and warm and dry food, and our diet should be nutritious and easy to digest; thirdly, we should pay attention to rest during menstruation and avoid overwork. Prevent the disease before it happens, and prevent the disease from changing.
