Features: Professor Xia Guicheng, a renowned expert in traditional Chinese medicine gynecology, has summarized the viewpoint that "regulating menstruation must be combined with regulating the menstrual cycle, and only by regulating the menstrual cycle can menstruation be fundamentally regulated" based on over 50 years of clinical experience. Building upon the theories of yin-yang and the Bagua (Eight Trigrams), and integrating modern clinical tests and micro-level dialectical analysis, he has developed a distinctive "Menstrual Cycle Theory and Regulation Method." This approach possesses strong scientific validity and advanced characteristics, with remarkable clinical efficacy. It has been compiled into this book. The entire work is divided into two parts: General Theory and Specific Discussions. The General Theory consists of six chapters: Introduction, Physiology, Pathology, Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prevention. The Specific Discussions include 11 chapters, with 10 chapters introducing the unique "Categorization Method" for the treatment of various menstrual disorders, addressing the difficulties, ambiguities, similarities, and differences in the evolution of the female menstrual cycle. The analysis is thorough, and the strategies are specific. The final chapter presents insights into commonly used formulas for regulating the menstrual cycle, which are truly the clinical insights of Professor Xia Guicheng in gynecology over the past 50 years, making it extremely valuable.
