Does deficiency of qi and blood cause irregular menstruation

Insufficient qi and blood usually causes irregular menstruation. Insufficient qi and blood may lead to reduced menstrual flow. Qi and blood are important material basis for maintaining normal physiological functions of the body. When qi and blood are insufficient, the uterus lacks sufficient qi and blood nourishment, and the endometrium cannot be thickened and shed normally, thus reducing menstrual flow. Menstruation cycle may also be prolonged or irregular. Deficiency of qi and blood will reduce the function of the internal organs of the body, and the endocrine system will also be affected, which will lead to the disorder of menstrual cycle. Normal menstrual blood is generally dark red, and the color of menstrual blood may become pale when qi and blood are insufficient. This is because insufficient qi and blood lead to weak blood circulation, which cannot fully exert its nourishing and moisturizing effects. Patients are often accompanied by pale or sallow complexion, dizziness and fatigue, palpitation, shortness of breath, insomnia and dreaminess. These symptoms further reflect the state of deficiency of qi and blood in the body, and are also associated with irregular menstruation. For irregular menstruation caused by insufficient qi and blood, attention needs to be paid to conditioning. It can be improved through diet, eating more foods with qi and blood tonic effects, such as red dates, longan, angelica, etc.; ensuring adequate sleep, so that the body can get sufficient rest and recovery; moderate exercise can promote qi and blood circulation; at the same time, maintaining a comfortable mood also helps qi and blood flow.

If the symptoms of irregular menstruation are serious, seek medical attention in time, and carry out targeted treatment under the guidance of doctors, such as taking Chinese medicine conditioning, etc., to improve the condition of insufficient qi and blood and restore normal menstrual cycle.
