Patient's question:
25 years old, juvenile uterus, with axillary hair, less pubic hair, undeveloped breasts, taking Premarin and progesterone for artificial cycles every three months since the age of 20. After taking them, menstruation becomes relatively normal, but there is no menstruation when they stop. The symptoms remain the same to this day. Ultrasound shows the uterus is only 214. Please help me_______Doctor's answer:
??????Hello, juvenile uterus, scanty menstruation, aversion to cold, indicating insufficient kidney qi. Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that the kidneys govern reproduction.Starting from childhood, as the essence and qi in the kidneys gradually accumulate, Tian Gui is produced. The qi transformed by kidney essence is known as kidney qi. Tian Gui is a subtle substance generated when the essence in the human kidneys becomes sufficiently abundant at a certain age, referred to by ancient scholars as "invisible water." It is related to human growth, development, and reproduction. It promotes the unobstructed Ren meridian in women, the fullness of the Tai Chong meridian, and regular menstrual cycles, enabling pregnancy. Therefore, treatment should focus on replenishing the kidneys and regulating menstruation.
Tian Gui is similar to the endocrine hormones recognized in Western medicine, so Western medicine employs hormone therapy. Taking Premarin and progesterone is a sequential therapy of estrogen and progesterone, known as an artificial cycle.
