Women’s Health

Chinese Medicine has long been recognised for its effectiveness in treating various gynaecological conditions and addressing the hormonal changes that women experience throughout their lives. From adolescence to menopause, these transitions can not only affect the menstrual cycle but also impact overall health.

 

According to Chinese Medicine theory, the uterus plays a significant role in women’s health, as it is the origin of both the Chong and Ren meridians. These meridians are responsible for regulating menstruation. When the Ren meridian is unobstructed and the Chong meridian is well-nourished, menstruation occurs on time. Men and women both have a “Sea of Blood,” but in women, it accumulates and flows out as menstrual blood.

 

A healthy menstrual cycle in Chinese Medicine is characterised by regularity, with a duration of 4-6 days, moderate flow, fresh and vivid red colour, and a fluid texture without clots or excessive watery consistency. It should also be devoid of discomfort or cramping, with only minimal breast fullness before the period.

 

The manifestations of menstruation not only impact fertility but can also indicate the presence of other internal diseases. Chinese Medicine practitioners focus on regulating the Kidney, Spleen, and Liver functions when treating fertility issues and gynaecological conditions.

 

The Spleen and Stomach in Chinese Medicine act like the soil in nature, maintaining a balance between humidity and dryness within the body. This balance is crucial for nourishment and growth. Imbalances, such as excessive dampness in the Spleen, can lead to cold and dampness accumulating in the uterus. This disrupts the natural warmth and nourishment, causing conditions like menstrual pain and the formation of masses, similar to fibroids, cysts, or tumors in Western medicine. Conversely, if the Stomach becomes overly dry, excessive heat can spread throughout the body, leading to conditions like dysfunctional uterine bleeding or inflammatory conditions such as pelvic inflammatory disease.

 

Chinese Medicine emphasises that symptoms and discomfort arise only when there is an imbalance of organs within the body. By addressing and rebalancing these organs, practitioners can help women achieve better reproductive health and overall well-being.
