What is the nature of polycystic?
Regarding polycystic disease, many patients tell me that they rely on hormones to maintain menstruation and control the levels of testosterone and LH, and for obese polycystic patients, they have to take metformin all the time.
I have been engaged in TCM clinical practice for so many years, and I have always disagreed with patients using contraceptives to maintain menstruation.
In fact, polycystic follicles are small follicles that are numerous and do not grow, and occasionally they grow, because the ovarian capsule is very thick, and it is difficult to expel them.
If you rely on hormone intake to control menstruation, on the one hand, it is easy to damage ovarian function and cause ovarian function to be sluggish for a long time, and on the other hand, it will affect mood, aggravate obesity, and it will be more difficult to regulate after stopping the drug.
Dialectical analysis of the case.
The patient, 26 years old, had irregular menstruation, menstruation on contraceptive pills for six years, testosterone values were still twice as high, and amenorrhea was amenorrhea for half a year after stopping the drug. Weight gain 20 pounds, and because of the hormonal effect of low mood, sometimes irritability, insomnia.
The first week. My prescription is mainly to relieve the liver and relieve depression and regulate menstruation, so that her sleep can return to normal and her mood will be soothed.
Clause. Two or three weeks.
My prescription focused on tonifying the kidneys and strengthening the spleen and regulating menstruation, and two weeks later, menstruation came.
The following month.
More attention was paid to blood nourishment and blood activation, and the last two menstrual periods were better than the previous one, and the cycle was stable at 35 days.
The third month. The patient completes the wedding, ovulates normally, and prematurely announces the fetus, and the prescription for the fetal safety is mainly to strengthen the spleen and strengthen the kidney, and protect the patient until 12 weeks of pregnancy.
In January this year, I gave birth to a healthy male treasure.
This patient** is generally due to the pressure of long-term academic work, sleepless nights, spleen and stomach disorders, tired limbs, low voice and lazy speech, which is a typical deficiency of the spleen and kidney, and phlegm and stasis are mutually obstructed. Phlegm originates from the spleen and stomach, and the spleen and stomach cannot transport phlegm and dampness and thus block the uterus, causing intractable menstrual problems. The phlegm and dampness that cannot be transported are also easy to block in the middle of the coke, resulting in waist and abdominal obesity.
Polycysts aren't that scary.
Whether you are trying to conceive or not, we should all face it positively and overcome this problem.
