Post-menstrual period: From the end of menstruation to the period of ovulation, the yin and yang qi in the body should be properly replenished to provide sufficient nutrients for the development of the egg. At this time, the use of blood circulation and stasis or laxatives should be avoided to prevent the accumulation of ovulation power in the body.
Intermenstrual period: Ovulation is a critical period for conception, and only when the accumulation of premenstrual period is in place, the egg can be released smoothly. At this time, attention should be paid to replenishing yang energy, promoting the growth and development of the endometrium, and providing a good environment for the implantation of the fertilized egg.
Premenstruation: The late stage of ovulation involves the implantation of the fertilized egg, at this time, attention should be paid to replenishing yang energy, thickening the endometrium, and providing sufficient space and nutrients for the implantation of the fertilized egg.
