Health for All says
In recent years, with the improvement of people's living standards and medical conditions, women's health issues have attracted much attention. The period of menopause in women is often seen as a sign of aging. However, as an experienced old Chinese medicine practitioner, I would like to tell you that female menopause is actually a good thing. In the process, there are some diseases that used to plague women that may gradually disappear. This article will combine the theories of traditional Chinese medicine and ancient and modern prescriptions to popularize science for you.
First, let's understand the definition of menopause in women. Generally, the age of menopause in women is between 45 and 55 years old, and this process is mainly due to the gradual decline of ovarian function, which leads to the cessation of menstruation. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, female menopause is called "Tian Qi Cut", that is, the "Tian Qi" in the woman's body gradually decreases to the point that it cannot be discharged, and menstruation stops.
After a woman's menopause, some diseases may gradually disappear. First of all, irregular periods are one of the troubles for many women. Irregular menstruation is mainly manifested in irregular menstrual cycles, excessive or too little menstrual flow, etc., which bring certain inconvenience to women's lives and bodies. However, with the advent of menopause, women's ovarian function gradually stops, which means they no longer experience fluctuations in their menstrual cycles. As a result, the problem of irregular periods may disappear after menopause.
Secondly, menopausal syndrome is also a common women's health problem. Menopausal syndrome is mainly manifested by hot flashes, sweating, insomnia, mood swings and other symptoms, which often bring a lot of trouble to women's work and life. However, with the advent of menopause, a woman's endocrine system changes, and these symptoms may gradually lessen or disappear after the adaptation period has passed. There are many famous prescriptions in TCM theory that can help alleviate menopausal syndrome, such as ginseng, angelica, white peony, etc., and can achieve better results when taking these herbs in combination with regulating lifestyle and dietary Xi.
Finally, breast hyperplasia is also a common female disease. Breast hyperplasia refers to the proliferation of breast tissue and the formation of nodules, which brings great trouble to women's physical and mental health. However, with the onset of menopause, the level of estrogen in a woman's body gradually decreases, and the abnormal growth of breast tissue may also be relieved. In addition, there are also some formulas in TCM theory that can help regulate the mammary glands, such as peach kernels, safflower, perilla leaves, etc., combined with dietary regulation and moderate exercise, can achieve the effect of regulating the mammary glands.
To sum up, female menopause is a good thing because some common female diseases may gradually disappear during the process. However, women's postmenopausal health management still needs to be paid attention to, such as adjusting the diet structure, maintaining appropriate exercise and rest, and conducting regular physical examinations. For women with uncomfortable symptoms, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time to find a suitable method. Under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine theories and modern medical methods, we believe that women's health problems will be better solved.
