There was such a woman, who was 25 years old at the time.
Since two years ago, she has been experiencing menstrual cramps. Western medicine, and some Chinese patent medicines that nourish and invigorate blood, have been taken, and the effect is not good.
When does she hurt?It is from the premenstrual period, the small stomach is swollen and painful, the breasts are obviously swollen, and the swelling pain cannot be touched, otherwise the pain will be unbearable. Whenever this happens, she is very angry, and the slightest thing that goes wrong will happen. gives people the feeling that she is a gas bucket, looking for a place to vent gas everywhere. After she was caught, she didn't care if it was worth it or not, she had to let out all the fire.
Later, this person decided to turn to Chinese medicine conditioning. The goal is to improve breast and lower abdominal tenderness as much as possible.
On immediate examination, the patient's pulse is observed, and the tongue is dark and less lichen. Upon careful questioning, it was learned that the patient's menstrual date was relatively normal, but the menstrual flow was small, the color was purple and dark, and there were more blood clots in menstruation. On weekdays, my appetite is not very good, and I am prone to hiccups and hiccups. The thought of having an upset stomach made her not want to eat.
After learning about this, prescribe:
Bupleurum chinensis, Xiangfu, Citrus aurantium, White peony, Yuanhu, Wuyao, Angelica, Glycyrrhiza root, Ligusticum Chuanxiong, Motherwort, Poria cocos.
When will I take it?It is taken three days before each menstrual period;After 3 months, the patient reported that the dysmenorrhea disappeared, and the breast and abdominal distension pain disappeared.
This is the basic process of the medical case.
The truth in this is actually very easy to understand.
Obviously, this patient belongs to a liver stagnation.
At the time of the visit, the pulse string, which is the main liver depression. Before and after dysmenorrhea, patients are irritable and irritable, which is also uncomfortable liver qi and emotional disorders.
Hepatic main excretion. If the qi is depressed, the qi is stagnant. Qi stagnation, the patient has breast tenderness and less abdominal distension pain. Why is it just that these two places are swollen and painful?Because of the route followed by the Yin and Liver Sutras, passing through here. When menstruation occurs and the liver blood is damaged, the liver depression is even worse, so these areas are swollen and painful.
Of course, it is also because the liver is stagnant and the blood flow is not smooth, so the patient's menstruation is lumpy, and the tongue is dark. The liver is stagnant and the liver is multiplied by the spleen and soil, so the patient's spleen and stomach are damaged, and the stomach is not good.
What to do at this time?Obviously, it soothes the liver and relieves depression, and relieves pain. Look at the compatibility that was used at the time.
This compatibility, obviously, is the application of Bupleurum soothing liver powder. Among them, Bupleurum chinensis, incense, and citrus aurantium are used to relieve liver depression. Angelica with Chuanxiong can not only invigorate blood, but also promote qi.
Blood is its mother, and blood is qi. White peony, Yuanhu, and black medicine can relieve pain and relieve urgency. Motherwort, invigorates blood and regulates menstruation and relieves pain. Poria cocos with boiled licorice strengthens the spleen.
This is the basic idea of medication. It is added or subtracted on the basis of Bupleurum sparse liver dispersion. The medicine of Bupleurum soothing the liver is basically Bupleurum chinensis, white peony, citrus aurantium, licorice, tangerine peel, fragrant herb, and Chuanxiong.
In fact, there are many female friends who have dysmenorrhea due to liver stagnation.
Their typical characteristics are that they love to get angry, and they are easily irritable and depressed. The manifestations of dysmenorrhea are mostly swelling pain, premenstrual breast tenderness, and menstrual lumps.
At this time, it is necessary to relieve the liver and relieve depression, and relieve pain. This is the usual method of TCM** for this type of dysmenorrhea.
I hope that friends who have such troubles can clarify the truth here, and learn from and apply it under the guidance of TCM physicians. The key is that we must understand the role of liver stagnation and qi stagnation here, and pay attention to regulating our emotions in the future and try to improve our temperament. Many times, the disease is one's own, and the bell must be tied to the bell, and the real ** has to rely on oneself.
