Treatment of metrorrhagia and metrorrhagia with Chinese medicine
Section 9 Uterine Bleeding refers to sudden and massive vaginal bleeding or continuous bleeding in women during menstruation. The former is called collapse and the latter is called collapse and leakage. If the menstrual period is extended for more than 2 weeks, the category of metrorrhagia in this year is called metrorrhagia or metrorrhagia. General sudden bleeding, sudden onset, and excessive blood volume are called collapse; Slow bleeding, less blood is called leakage. Although the bleeding situation of metrorrhagia and metrorrhagia is different, their pathogenesis is the same, and they often transform into each other in the process of disease development. If metrorrhagia lasts for a long time and qi and blood are exhausted, it can become metrorrhagia and metrorrhagia, so it is often called metrorrhagia and metrorrhagia in clinic. As Fang Jisheng said, "The disease of metrorrhagia depends on one syndrome, and the lighter one is called metrorrhagia, or even metrorrhagia." This disease is a common disease, often due to alternating metrorrhagia and leakage, causal coherence, leading to lingering lesions, becoming a difficult and serious gynecological disease. This disease is equivalent to anovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding in western medicine. Irregular vaginal bleeding caused by genital inflammation and some genital tumors can also be treated with reference to this disease. 【 Etiology and Pathogenesis 】 The main pathogenesis is injury of chong and ren, and menstrual blood cannot be restricted. The common causes of unstable chong and ren are kidney deficiency, spleen deficiency, blood heat and blood stasis. First, kidney deficiency is a congenital deficiency of kidney qi, which is weak in young girls, gradually declining in menopause, or early marriage and prolificacy, indecent sexual intercourse, and impaired in kidney qi. If blood is consumed, kidney yin deficiency is damaged, yin deficiency causes internal heat, heat rushes up, and blood is forced to rush, resulting in irregular menstruation; Or the life gate is weakened by fire, the kidney-yang deficiency is damaged, the seal is dereliction of duty, and the chong and ren are not solid, which can not restrict menstrual blood, and it also causes menstrual blood to flow out from time to time, leading to metrorrhagia. Second, spleen deficiency, excessive anxiety, eating fatigue, impaired temper, qi stagnation, unstable chong and ren, out of control of qi and blood, untimely birth, resulting in metrorrhagia and leakage. Third, blood heat is full of yang, or emotional dissatisfaction, liver depression turns into fire, or heat evil, or spicy products that help yang overeat, heat is abundant, heat injury flushes and drains, forcing blood to flush and drain, and sometimes metrorrhagia. Four, the seven emotions of blood stasis are internal injuries, qi stagnation and blood stasis, or the evil of cold and heat, blood stasis caused by cold coagulation or heat burning, blood stasis blocking Chong Ren, blood does not follow menstruation, and sometimes it is metrorrhagia. 【 Syndrome Differentiation and Treatment 】 Uterine metrorrhagia is characterized by aperiodic vaginal bleeding. Combined with the changes of bleeding volume, color and quality and systemic syndromes, it can be distinguished between cold and heat deficiency and excess. According to the urgency of the disease and the long-term bleeding, the treatment should adopt the principle of "treating the symptoms if it is urgent, and curing the disease if it is slow", and flexibly use the three methods of cutting off the flow, clearing the source and restoring the old. Stop bleeding is stop bleeding. Hemorrhage is the main cause of uterine bleeding, and hemostasis is an urgent task to treat this disease. When using hemostasis, we should also pay attention to the difference between collapse and leakage. To treat collapse, it is advisable to strengthen the body resistance, not to warm the heart and promote blood circulation, so as to avoid excessive blood loss and lead to yin and yang failure; Treatment of leakage should nourish blood and promote qi, and should not be biased towards blood stasis to avoid blood stasis. The drugs for blocking flow can be Dendrobium powder, Yunnan Baiyao, Zidiningxue powder, etc. Chengyuan is to seek the cause and cure the problem. Uterine bleeding is caused by many reasons. According to the specific causes of metrorrhagia, the methods of tonifying kidney and strengthening spleen, clearing heat and regulating qi, and removing blood stasis are adopted to fundamentally treat metrorrhagia. The two methods of blocking flow and clearing the source are often carried out at the same time. Reliving the past is to clean up the mess. After metrorrhagia stops, the spleen and kidney should be recuperated to make it better. All previous dynasties believed that after metrorrhagia and metrorrhagia, spleen and stomach should be regulated, and qi and blood should be regenerated to restore it. Modern research points out that metrorrhagia and metrorrhagia can be completely treated only by tonifying kidney and benefiting qi and rebuilding menstrual cycle. "Kidney flows out through water", which is full of kidney qi. For patients with deficiency syndrome in adolescence and childbearing age, it is more important to tonify kidney and regulate menstruation. Of course, the restoration also needs to consider Chengyuan. In a word, there are differences and internal relations between blocking the flow, inheriting the future and rejuvenating the children, and they must be used flexibly according to the specific situation. 1.
