All women are experience menstruation disorders sometime during their child
bearing years before menopause. While Western medication has never
viewed that irregular menstruation is a problem of a women's
reproductive system, traditional Chinese medicine looks at this problem
seriously. If untreated, it will dis-harmonize the women's ecosystem,
leading to nervous tension and other health problems, including
infertility.
Kidney is vital for nourishing and moistening the body
and supporting the function of the uterus in the natural process of
conception. Deficiency of kidney yang interferes with the normal process
of the menstrual cycle and fertility.
Symptoms of imbalance of kidney yang deficiency include:
1. Cold and pain in the lower abdomen during or after menstruation
Since
kidney yang is important to warm and support the uterus for a healthy
conception, deficiency of kidney yang causes cold to accumulate in the
womb which interferes with the normal function of the kidney in
regulating the temperature of the uterus, leading to muscle contraction,
resulting in lower abdominal cramps and pain.
2. Small volume of dark menstrual discharge
Spleen
is important to assist the heart in transporting blood to the
reproductive organs and to support the kidney in nourishing and
moistening the body's blood vessels. Deficiency of yang reduces blood
and fluid in the reproductive organs, leading to a small volume of dark
menstruation.
3. Weak and aching lower back and legs
Yang is
necessary to support the daily activity in the body. Deficiency of yang
causes constriction of the lower back and leg muscles.
4. Deep and weak pulse
Deficiency of yang causes slow movement of blood, leading to deep and weak pulse.
5. Pale tongue
Yang
is required for blood circulation, deficiency of yang causes an
abnormal function of the liver in blood storing and formation, leading
to blood and qi stagnation, resulting in pale complexion.
