Health for All says
Many girls begin to have their first menstrual period during puberty, but there are also some girls who do not experience it for a long time, and many people are confused about this. Why did the girls in the same class come to the Great Aunt a few years earlier, but I never came? The answer to this question is actually hidden in the theory of Chinese medicine.
According to the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, women's menstruation is an important process that regulates women's bodily functions and is closely related to women's physiological health. So why do some girls get their periods late?
First of all, the onset of menstruation is influenced by genetics. Studies have shown that a child's first menstrual period is also related to the timing of menstruation by his mother and grandmother, and that if the mother's or grandmother's menstrual period starts late, it is likely to be delayed until the onset of menstruation in the offspring. This also means that family genetic factors play a role in determining the onset of menstruation.
Secondly, the living environment and dietary habits Xi also have an impact on the onset of menstruation. In modern society, a nutritious diet and a good living environment make women grow physiologically faster. Certain research studies suggest that overnutrition and high sugar intake may advance menarche, while poverty and malnutrition may delay menarche. Therefore, we need to cultivate good eating habits from an early age and create a good living environment Xi.
In addition, seasonal factors can also have an impact on the onset of menstruation. The cold environment and less sunlight in winter may delay a woman's menstrual onset, while the warmer summer and abundant sun exposure may delay a woman's menstrual period. Therefore, it is beneficial to keep warm during the cold winter months and spend more time in the sun to regulate the onset of menstruation.
In addition to the above-mentioned factors, there are many ancient prescriptions in TCM that can also help women regulate their menstrual problems. For example, cinnamon and kudzu root soup is an ancient recipe that is often used to treat menstrual problems in women. The cinnamon branches in this soup have the effect of invigorating blood and removing blood stasis, which can help dredge the meridians and eliminate blood stasis; Pueraria lobata has the effect of warming the meridians and dissipating cold, which can help improve the cold constitution. In addition, angelica sinensis is also a commonly used Chinese herbal medicine, which has the effect of nourishing blood and nourishing beauty, and can be used to regulate menstrual problems. These ancient prescriptions have been proven for thousands of years to have a unique effect on women's menstrual problems.
In summary, the onset of menstruation in women is affected by genetics, living environment, dietary Xi and season. For older girls who have not yet menstruated, families and schools should pay attention and understand them to help them regulate their bodies and establish good Xi habits. Traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions are also an effective conditioning method that can help women balance yin and yang in the body and improve menstrual problems.
