Advanced menstruation means that the menstrual cycle is more than seven days in advance, or even two tides in January.Advance menstruation is also called "advance menstruation", "advance menstruation" or "early menstruation".This disease is more common in women of childbearing age.

[Recipe Name] Astragalus Codonopsis Soup.

[Medicinal materials] 15 grams of Astragalus, 12 grams of Codonopsis pilosula, 9 grams of fried white peony, 9 grams of Rhizoma Cyperi, 6 grams of moxibustion licorice, 6 grams of Chuanxiong, and 3 grams of cinnamon.

[Method] Take astragalus, Codonopsis pilosula, fried white peony, Cyperus cyperi, moxibustion licorice, Chuanqiong, cinnamon, decoct in water, [-] dose per day.

[Nurse said] During the outpatient visits with my grandfather, I met such a lady who complained that her menstruation was seven days ahead of schedule and her blood volume was low.Recently, she has been unable to cheer up every day, and her complexion is yellowish, and her work, which has always been smooth, has now encountered a bottleneck.Therefore, she was worried that she was suffering from early menstruation, and wanted to ask her grandfather to prescribe some medicine.

Grandpa took the lady's pulse and thought her pulse was weak and thin, showing signs of qi deficiency.Finally, she was diagnosed as premature menstruation.For the treatment, the grandfather prescribed the following prescriptions for the female patient: 15 grams of astragalus, 12 grams of Codonopsis pilosula, 9 grams of fried peony root, 9 grams of Rhizoma Cyperi, 6 grams of roasted licorice, 6 grams of Chuanxiong, and 3 grams of cinnamon.Grandpa told her to decoct these medicines with water after returning home, take one dose a day, and come back for a follow-up visit after [-] courses of treatment. After [-] courses of treatment, the lady arrived as scheduled. This time she was completely different from before.Her ruddy complexion and vigorous demeanor made her look much younger, and she no longer looked sallow and sluggish.She told her grandfather that her menstruation is now very accurate and her spirits are very good.Because of self-confidence, I have also made great progress at work.

We are happy for her recovery, but Grandpa still did not forget to tell her that work is important, but as a professional woman, she should not neglect her body.Although the illness is cured now, you still need to pay attention to adjusting your own life rules, reducing psychological pressure and increasing nutritional supplements. You must not forget the pain when the scars are cured, and wait until the body has problems before treating them.

[Grandpa said] Grandpa said that early menstruation is mainly caused by Qi deficiency and blood heat.Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Qi has the function of absorbing blood, and Qi deficiency cannot absorb blood, so Ren Chong's two channels lose the function of regulating and consolidating.Blood gets hot and goes wrong, so blood heat can make menstrual blood run disorderly and go wrong, causing menstruation to advance.The symptoms of this woman's advanced menstruation are that a few drops stop when menstruation comes, and then come again after five or six days or ten days. Daxu.Astragalus, codonopsis, fried white peony, Cyperus cyperi, licorice, Chuanxiong, cinnamon, these Chinese herbal medicines are good medicines for invigorating the spleen and nourishing qi, solidifying and regulating menstruation, and are effective for early menstruation, light color, thin quality, fatigue, shortness of breath, laziness, and appetite. Sluggishness and pulse deficiency have very good curative effect.My grandfather also told me that menstruation is earlier, the anger is more vigorous, and the blood is more deficient, so menstruation will be earlier, and the earlier menstruation is, the more blood loss, which often creates a vicious circle in the body.Therefore, it is necessary to cool the blood, calm the liver fire, and calm the anger. Pressing Geshu, Xuehai, and Sanyinjiao are relatively simple and effective methods.In addition, you can light moxa sticks to smoke Yinbai point, twice a day, for 20 minutes each time (Note: ① Geshu is on the back of the human body, 1.5 inches below the spinous process of the seventh thoracic vertebra; ② Sea of ​​blood, When the knee is bent, it is on the inner side of the thigh, 2 inches above the inner side of the patella; ③ Sanyinjiao is located on the inner side of the calf, 3 inches above the ankle joint; ④ Yinbai is located one point outside the inner corner of the hallux nail).

Dysmenorrhea, or menstrual pain, is one of the most common symptoms in gynecological patients.Many women experience mild discomfort during menstruation, but dysmenorrhea refers to menstrual pain that interferes with normal activities and must be treated with medication.Periodic menstrual pain is common and occurs during most menstrual cycles.The pain is often cramping with lower back pain, nausea, vomiting, headache, or diarrhea.

[Recipe name] Drink with milk and honey.

[Ingredients] A cup of milk, a spoonful of honey.

[Method] Take a cup of hot milk, add a spoonful of honey, and stir well.Drink a glass every night before bed.

[The nurse said] Xiaolan is a friend I have played with since I was a child. She is slim and graceful, exuding the bodybuilding of a girl from top to bottom.But I found that every month there would always be a few days when Xiao Lan would stay at home and not come out. Occasionally, she would get together with her classmates and friends, but her face would be pale and lifeless.I often advise her to see her illness at her grandfather's place, and she must never shy away from medical treatment.Xiaolan always said that she was fine and would be fine in a few days.After some observation, I found that her complexion and spirit would really improve after two or three days, but it started to repeat in the next month.For this reason, I judged that she should have dysmenorrhea.After questioning, she nodded, confirming my guess.

Later, my grandfather did not give me any prescriptions to treat Xiaolan's dysmenorrhea.But tell me how to prepare a drink that is as simple as it is delicious - a drink with milk and honey.According to my grandfather, after I boiled the milk, I let it cool slightly, then added a spoonful of honey, stirred it evenly, and a cup of milk and honey drink was successfully made.Xiaolan really likes the taste of milk and honey drink, so it is a treat for her to have as a drink before going to bed every night.After persisting for a while, Xiaolan's dysmenorrhea was really relieved. She had her period during several class reunions, but she still had a good time with everyone.Today, Xiaolan has taken the milk and honey drink as a daily drink. In her words, the dysmenorrhea is gone, but the miraculous curative effect of the milk and honey drink is still there.After so many years of persistence, not only has her body become more and more fit, but her skin is also as white as milk.

[Grandpa said] Grandpa said that he also heard this folk prescription from his master, taught it to many people, and cured many people, but he only figured out the secret of it through continuous learning.Although my grandfather is a Chinese medicine doctor, he also has a lot of research on modern medicine.By consulting the information, Grandpa found that milk contains a lot of potassium, while honey contains a lot of magnesium.Potassium is very important to the conduction of the human nerve center, the coagulation process of blood and the function of all cells in the human body.It can not only ease emotions and suppress pain, but also has the effect of preventing infection, and also has a certain effect on reducing blood volume during menstruation.Magnesium can help conduct nerve impulses in the brain and maintain normal levels of active substances with neurohormonal effects.In the later period of menstruation, under the joint action of magnesium and potassium, women's psychological state will be more harmonious, and psychological pressure and tension can also be relieved; more importantly, the degree of abdominal pain can also be greatly reduced.In this way, a series of virtuous circles will greatly relieve women's dysmenorrhea symptoms.In addition, drinking milk and honey before going to bed can also beautify the skin and promote sleep.However, drinking milk and honey on an empty stomach is harmful to the body. In addition, we must pay attention to the taboos of food incompatibility. It is best not to drink tea when drinking milk.

[Nurse said] One day, a mother and daughter came to see grandpa for help.The youngest daughter is a high school student with heavy study pressure and poor rest. After a long period of menstruation, the mother didn't pay much attention to it. She always thought it was caused by the hot food at school, so she didn't take her daughter to see a doctor.Unexpectedly, after the youngest daughter's menstruation procrastinated and stopped for a long time, her endocrine had become obviously out of balance, and her face and cheeks were covered with abscess-type pimples, which would be serious if not treated.So according to my grandfather's prescription, I cooked longan and egg soup every day.After drinking it for a few days, the acne on the face has been significantly improved, and the symptoms of abdominal pain have also been relieved.

The eldest daughter is a professional woman, who travels between work and life every day. The pressure is many times greater than that of the younger daughter. In addition, she does not eat regularly, does not sleep properly, and her biological clock is disrupted.The eldest daughter always thought that the influence of the biological clock caused the menstrual error, so she ignored it.However, after a careful examination and diagnosis by the grandfather, it was found that the condition of the eldest daughter seemed to be full of deficiency fire, but was actually insufficient blood and weak body.So the grandfather prescribed hen mugwort leaf soup to the eldest daughter.

Finally, there is the mother.The mother's age is just in the embarrassing period of menopause. After a long period of menstrual errors, the mother mistakenly thinks that it is the menopause symptoms that begin to appear when menopause is approaching.I didn't want to pay more attention to it, but my body couldn't hold back, my menstrual period didn't come for a long time, and my body was not relaxed. First, my face turned yellow, spots and wrinkles appeared on my face, what's more, I urinated frequently at night, and my breasts and lower abdomen were distended. The pain was unbearable, the appetite was poor, the interest in intercourse also dropped sharply, and the relationship between husband and wife was also slightly problematic.Grandpa did a detailed examination for my mother, looked at her complexion, and found that it was not the cause of menopause, but the effect of menstrual miscarriage, so he prescribed brown sugar hawthorn drink for mother.The mother's constitution is not weak, so it is not suitable to use ingredients such as old hens for tonic. On the contrary, because she has given birth and is relatively old, the blood stasis in the body is difficult to clear, resulting in abdominal distension and menstrual disorders.After eating for a few months, my mother's complexion became smoother, her health improved, and her appetite for food improved a lot.So far, the problem of menstrual miscarriage has been greatly improved. The mother and daughter still insist on eating the therapeutic soup tailored to their own conditions to strengthen the foundation and cultivate the vitality.

[Grandpa said] Aiming at women's complex physiological mechanism, over-supplementation and over-dryness can easily cause blood-qi conflicts, and strong western medicine can easily lead to physical weakness and blood weakness.On the contrary, therapeutic soup is both warming and healthy, and different soup ingredients can be set for women of different ages to exert different functions.

Reverse menstruation, traditional Chinese medicine believes that menstruation is retrograde upward, which means that some women have periodic and regular nosebleeds or vomiting blood 1 to 2 days before menstruation, or during menstruation, and a small number of women will appear after menstruation. this situation.Most women with retromenstrual characteristics are accompanied by less or no menstruation during menstruation.From the point of view of Western medicine, reverse menstruation is mainly due to the specific physiological correlation between the nasal mucosa and female reproductive organs, and certain areas of the nasal mucosa are more sensitive to ovarian estrogen. During menstruation, menstruation is sometimes caused by sensitivity and bleeding; from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, menstruation is believed to be caused by hot blood and upward reversal. Sheng, women who are relatively mild-tempered are more prone to menstrual cramps.Similarly, women who usually eat spicy food are more likely to have menstrual cramps than women who eat light food.

Although menorrhagia does not directly affect women's pregnancy and childbirth, long-term menorrhagia may be caused by endometriosis. Therefore, menorrhagia cannot be ignored.Generally, mild dysmenorrhea can be treated with Chinese and Western medicines, but drug treatment can easily lead to symptoms such as physical weakness and weak blood in women. Therefore, two external treatments are recommended here to relieve the suffering of dysmenorrhea.

【Remedy [-]】Emergency hemostasis.

[Nurse said] A college classmate, Xinxin, had a nosebleed during an exam. I panicked and wanted her to stop the exam and go to the school hospital to see a doctor to stop the bleeding. Who knew, she didn’t care at all, just I stuffed my nose with a tissue and continued the test.At that time, I thought that Xinxin was taking exams first and studying hard. After I came down, I talked with her and tried to drag her to the school hospital. Only then did I find out that Xinxin was having menstrual cramps. The few days of the exam happened to be menstruation, and I went back and forth to the school hospital many times. , but the reverse menstruation has not been able to find the ideal treatment.So after the exam, I brought Xinxin to my grandfather's house, hoping that my grandfather could help solve Xinxin's long-term menstrual cramps.According to Xin Xin, she has been suffering from retrograde menstrual symptoms for a long time, that is, the blood gas goes up, passes through the nasal mucous membrane, and flows out of the nose. Although the nosebleeds are not much, the menstrual period is very problematic, and the amount is small and accompanied by dizziness.Grandpa, quickly gave Xinxin several courses of acupuncture, taught Xinxin some emergency hemostasis measures when menstrual flow occurs, and told her that it is wrong to stuff tissues into her nostrils.At the same time, I ground some Evodia rutaecarpa powder, pointed out the exact location of the acupoints for Xinxin, and told Xinxin to apply Evodia rutaecarpa powder on Taichong and Yongquan acupoints every day.After two months, Xinxin stopped menstrual cramps, and her menstrual blood volume became relatively stable and normal.

【Grandpa Says】Grandpa said that the emergency hemostasis method has immediate effect on those with mild menstrual cramps, can quickly stop bleeding, and reduce the immediate impact of women due to menstrual cramps.In the long run, young women suffering from menstrual dysmenorrhea should pay attention to cultivating a good life pattern and maintain a happy mood. During menstruation, they should avoid strenuous exercise and mental stimulation, and avoid taking hot pepper and ginger products. Symptoms can be cured.Cooperate with long-term acupuncture and moxibustion treatment to improve blood circulation in meridians to regulate. At the same time, one or two days before menstrual cramps, keep emotional stability and feel comfortable. Cooperate with appropriate warming diet, eat more vegetables and fruits, drink more water, and avoid pinching your nose , can effectively prevent menstrual retrograde.

Hypomenstrual flow or hypomenorrhea means that the menstrual cycle is basically normal, but the menstrual flow is obviously less, even bit by bit, intermittent; or the whole menstrual period is shortened to less than two days, and the menstrual flow is also less. The situation is called "hypomenorrhea".If the disease occurs in puberty and women of childbearing age, it may develop into amenorrhea; if it occurs in menopausal women, it will often lead to menopause, so oligomenorrhea cannot be ignored.

In layman's terms, the main reason for less menstrual blood is low estrogen levels or uterine dysplasia.Estrogen stimulates the lining of the uterus to grow and thicken in preparation for conception.In the case of a woman who is not pregnant, the proliferated intima will fall off and bleed to form menstruation.Once a woman's menstrual bleeding is less, it is likely that the endometrial hyperplasia is not thick enough due to low estrogen levels in the body. This situation will affect women's future pregnancy and reduce the chance of conception. Therefore, less menstruation is not A small matter is by no means a matter of "less trouble, less trouble", it must be taken seriously.

As a symptom of irregular menstruation, hypomenorrhea has been valued by the field of traditional Chinese medicine since ancient times. Among them, motherwort and angelica can be called "sacred medicines" for nourishing blood, regulating menstruation and improving hypomenorrhea.
