Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Menstruation is a common gynecological disease. Traditional Chinese Medicine believes it is caused by insufficient liver and kidney, deficiency of qi and blood, and blockage of blood vessels. It is divided into virtual and excess types. The virtual type is often due to insufficient qi and blood and kidney deficiency, while the excess type is mostly caused by cold congelation, qi stagnation, and blood stasis. In treatment, if the deficiency is due to insufficient qi and blood, then qi and blood should be tonified; if the deficiency is due to kidney weakness, then the lower yuan should be tonified; if the deficiency is due to cold congelation, then the meridians should be warmed and cold dispelled; if the deficiency is due to qi stagnation, then the liver should be soothed and qi regulated; if the deficiency is due to blood stasis, then blood should be activated and stasis resolved. Treatment and diet can be implemented based on different symptoms for syndrome differentiation and treatment.
