Hello, I am a Chinese medicine person, Zhou Guangbai.
In today's text, I want to talk to you about an old topic. This is called menstrual cramps. It can be said that this is a particularly common problem that has plagued many female friends.
Without further ado, you look at the medical case first.
A 22-year-old female student with very stubborn menstrual cramps, at least 5 years, didn't want to take Western medicine, so she came to me.
At that time, the patient's pulse was slow and thin, the lichen was thin, and the tongue was dull. Upon careful questioning, it was learned that when the patient usually does not have menstrual cramps, his body is cold, his limbs are not warm, and his legs and feet are weak and weak. The lower abdomen, although it does not hurt, is not warm, and there is a faint cooling feeling. The menstrual period is not accurate, and the amount of vaginal discharge is relatively large. I usually urinate a lot.
When the patient was ill for a long time, he told the doctor that he didn't want to drink the Wenjing soup. Because I drank it before, it didn't work.
After learning about these, the doctor wrote a poem. But see—
Angelica, cinnamon branches, fried white peony in wine, fine spice, jujube, mutong, ginger, official cinnamon, black medicine, fried mugwort leaves, dogwood.
It is recommended to take this prescription before menstruation.
The result? The patient took a total of 6 doses before and after, and the symptoms subsided and the dysmenorrhea disappeared.
This is the basic process of the medical case.
Now, let's talk about the reasoning behind it.
In fact, the problem of this patient is very clear, that is, it is a deficiency and cold dysmenorrhea.
The patient usually has cold and chills, weakness in the limbs, warmth in the lower abdomen, many and thin leucorrhoea, slow and weak pulse, and a large amount of urine. All of this tells us unmistakably that the patient is a body of yang deficiency. Yang deficiency is cold. Cold and evil are stagnant, and if the qi and blood are not passed, it will be painful. As a result, the patient has dysmenorrhea.
What to do at this time? It is the warmth of the meridian and the dissipation of the cold.
Fangzhong, ginger, needless to say, is a common medicine for dissipating cold and warm yang, Wu Zhuyi, can dissipate cold and relieve pain, warm and stop vomiting, and can also help yang and stop diarrhea. Paired with ginger, it can be said to be like a tiger with wings when used in dissipating cold and warm yang.
In addition, mugwort leaves, black medicine, cinnamon and other products that warm the yang and dispel cold and relieve pain, the effect is naturally better.
In short, this is a case of TCM treatment for cold dysmenorrhea. Do you get it?
