Menstrual health is traceable

Menstruation in Western medicine, mainly rely on the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (ovary and uterus) to control the shaft, while in traditional Chinese medicine, menstruation is relying on the body with vital to go all out, this is the overall concept of traditional Chinese medicine after another.

Many female friends have asked, "I know that the blood is important, but confused himself for blood condition, do not know where to start!"

Actually, both before and after the menstruation and its accompanying symptoms is the female body in the blood of the citizenry.

Want to know whether abnormal menstruation, you first need to know what is normal.

Most people know that the normal menstrual cycle of 24-35 days, an average of 28 days, every time duration 2-6 days. Normal menstrual bleeding is 30-50 ml. But the traditional definition of normal menstruation is not so simple, in addition to the above cycle characteristics, its color, menstrual cycle, volume have detailed request, think color Crimson, not dilute not thick, non-condensing, non-blood clots, no special smell, in addition, there is no dramatic before and after the menstruation fluctuate, and no other obvious discomfort can be normal menstruation. Does not meet the above criteria, can be seen as an exception.

You can own menstrual features, from the menstrual cycle, color, texture, and the smell of crimes, and in conjunction with our own body's status, you can determine the overall level of qi and blood.

Judge steps:

The menstrual cycle

First of all want to know how many days of the cycle, the menstrual cycle is from every period of the first day to the next to the first day.

General cycle in advance. If a normal cycle come early for more than 7 days consecutive 2 cycles above, this one's more belongs to the blood heat, or Qi; cycle is wrong than normal cycle delay of 7 days or 40-50 days once more as cold, blood deficiency, Qi depression.

Menstrual color, texture

Then begin to observe the color and texture of menstruation.

Whatever the color of light, texture of menstrual lean more to the "virtual", such as Qi and blood deficiency, spleen, kidney, or phlegm. All the more darker menstruation with real, hot, stasis, blocking, for example, Crimson, red, purple, grey, purple, black and red ink, or texture thick blood clots. Of course, there are exceptions, such as cold, heat, two States are divided into virtual, real two types. For example: blood fever also excess heat, heat, and a deficiency of menstruation color bright, but the amount of excess heat associated with menstruation, less virtual hot with menstruation. Blood cold also divided into real cold, cold. Real cold by color faded or with small blood clots, deficiency of pea or two as black.

The amount of menstruation

Observation period of an indicator, that is, the amount of menstruation, but solely on the basis of a number of years, is unable to determine the State of qi and blood.

For example, to many, seems to be a lot of blood, but if the volume and number of colors and light, texture and it is rare, and performance. Only came up, blood is Crimson, texture thick is hot. To the least, to combine the colors and textures of menstruation in order to determine the true state of qi and blood.

Accompanying symptoms

Except in the very nature of menstrual cycle, after menstruation has no dizziness, headache, menstrual disorders, diarrhea, and mood swings, and so on symptoms, can also be used to help determine the State of qi and blood.

For example, dizziness, before and after the menstruation easy is blood deficiency is actually very good judgement?, observation of menstruation. Dizzy while accompanying menstruation less, pea. To accompany the pale, pale gums, tongue, palpitation symptoms such as fatigue strength God for blood deficiency. If the accompanying chest, head, appetite, leucorrhea, as in phlegm spleen. If dizziness, small amount of menstruation, the color red, also accompanied upset irritability, lumbar debility, outlet zygomatic dry throat dryness, redness and other symptoms, ganshenyingxuxing.

Dysmenorrhea can distinguish between physical and excess, General menstrual pain before or when, not like rubbing, periods, blood clots out of pain after the pain caused by blood, many, many causes stagnation or affected.

Menstrual pain if menstrual period, increased menstrual pain, stomach Rotarian, liked rubbing or hot compress, asthenia, pain, by kidney Qi and blood deficiency.
