"Menopausal syndrome" is now known as "premenopausal syndrome" and "menopausal syndrome". The study found that nearly 200 million women in China are deeply troubled by menopausal syndrome, and nearly 30% of white-collar women have experienced hidden menopausal symptoms to varying degrees just after the age of 30.

However, there are some common cognitive misunderstandings, many women think that menopausal symptoms are only in their 50s, but women under high pressure in the workplace and life often have sleep and emotional problems, and early recognition and intervention can minimize the impact of a series of symptoms on work life.

In addition, there are people who think that menopause is good and does not need treatment, in fact, these ideas are very wrong, early intervention, positive response, physical and mental comfort, all aspects will be smooth.

Both Chinese and Western medicine attach importance to menopausal conditioning

Women's health problems in this special period before and after menopause seriously affect all aspects of individuals, families, lives and work, and are also issues that urgently need social attention.

From a Western medical point of view

From the perspective of Western medicine, menopausal syndrome is due to a series of physical and psychological symptoms caused by the decline of ovarian function and fluctuations in estrogen levels before and after menopause, including neuroendocrine, immune, cardiovascular, reproductive urology, metabolism, bone and other systems of hypofunction, the appearance of clinical symptoms such as hot flashes and sweating, irritability and irritability, insomnia and dreams, urinary tract infections, senile vaginitis, hypertension, coronary heart disease, obesity, osteoporosis and other clinical symptoms.

Western medicine often uses menopausal hormone therapy (MHT), which has strict indications and contraindications, although the efficacy is certain, it may also lead to some patients with primary or secondary hormone-dependent gynecological tumor diseases (such as endometrial cancer, breast cancer) the risk of greatly increased, clinical application must be benefit and risk assessment, and close follow-up of related diseases.

From the perspective of TCM

From the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the "Su Qing Ancient Innocence Theory" records that the woman "has a weak pulse of seven or seven ren, a decline of the Taichong pulse, a depletion of heaven, and a tunnel that is not clear, so she is bad and childless." "When a woman is seven or seven or forty-nine years old, her kidney qi turns from prosperity to decline, Chong Ren qi and blood gradually lose, and tiande gradually fails, making it difficult to get pregnant and give birth to children, that is, entering the menopausal stage. This is the natural law of women's growth, development, reproduction and aging.

At present, the pathogenesis of the evidence before and after menopause in Traditional Chinese medicine is mostly attributed to kidney deficiency, including kidney yin deficiency, kidney yang deficiency, kidney yin and yang deficiency, of which kidney yin deficiency is the mainstay.

Sperm and blood biochemical lack of source, yin does not submerge yang, false yang, the more symptoms of hot flashes sweating, hand and foot heart fever and other symptoms;

If the kidney yin can not help the heart, the heart fire is too strong, then the heart and kidneys do not intersect, visible insomnia and forgetfulness;

Women take the liver as a congenital, the liver main blood, the liver main drainage, in the regulation of women's menstruation and emotions play an important role, kidney deficiency can cause insufficient liver blood, liver and kidney yin deficiency, liver loss, liver qi stagnation, will lead to menstrual disorders, mood swings, irritability or anxiety and depression;

The kidney is the innate foundation, the spleen is the acquired nature, the spleen and kidney two organs nourish each other, kidney deficiency can cause the spleen and stomach to be weak, the source of qi and blood biochemistry is lacking, the camp guard is disordered, the spleen and kidney are two deficiencies, then the heavenly decay gradually fails, and the water is about to stop;

The main bone of the kidney is marrow, and the kidney deficiency will have osteoporosis symptoms such as lumbosacral, heel and limb joint pain;

If the kidney deficiency is lost in the sea, it is prone to cognitive dysfunction such as memory decline.

In summary, the onset of menopausal syndrome is based on kidney deficiency, and the imbalance of yin and yang balance of the kidneys affects the function of the heart, liver and spleen, resulting in a series of pathological changes, and will also be combined with depression, blood stasis, phlegm wetness, etc., and many clinical symptoms appear.

Traditional Chinese medicine to treat menopausal syndrome according to the patient's menstrual situation, combined with systemic symptoms and tongue pulse for dialectical treatment, or nourish the kidneys and nourish the yin, or warm kidneys to help the yang, or yin and yang double supplementation, and also to thin the liver, calm the heart, rationalize the qi, dissolve stasis, expectorant, etc., in order to restore the function of the internal organs and balance the yin and yang, reconcile the role of qi and blood.

Chinese medicine helps you get through menopause smoothly

With the development of the times, the progress of society and the gradual changes in needs, the natural safety and comprehensive treatment advantages of proprietary Chinese medicine are increasingly favored by many women. From "classic" to "precise", the millennium ancient party is also completing its own modern heritage, so that it can be better utilized.

For example, the innovative medicine of traditional Chinese medicine Guanhuangmu granules are added and subtracted on the basis of inheriting the classic ancient recipe "Danxi Heart Method" volume of three major supplement pills, and combined with modern Chinese medicine technology to innovate, a dose of prescription, five flavors of Chinese medicine, a total of miraculous effects.

Among them, salt knows the mother and salt yellow cedar must be compatible, clear heat and nourish yin; cooked yellow and white peony are the second group of medicine pairs, liver and kidney supplementation, following the concept of tranquility, keeping, tonic, nourishing and nourishing of traditional Chinese medicine; Fangzhong adds valuable Chinese medicine tortoiseshell glue, which also nourishes yin and nourishes blood and kidney and bone, and forms the third group of drugs with white peony, which plays the role of liver and kidney co-treatment and flat liver latent yang. Three groups of medicine pairs, playing together.

From the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic" to the "Treatise on Typhoid Fever", inheriting the theory of "medicine introduction" in traditional Chinese medicine, the group of salt guan huang cedar and salt zhimu, salt burning introduction medicine down into the kidney meridian, and the kidney meridian circulates the human body and goes around a bend in the heel, which can solve the clinically tricky problems of "heel pain, foot heartache, walking pain" and so on.

With the inheritance and innovation of traditional Chinese medicine, more and more menopausal women's physical and mental health has been guaranteed, which has also made them more and more smooth to pass through the special life stage of "menopause".
