From menstruation to women's health, it turns out that everyone ignores it

For women, there are several days of menstruation every month. During these days, women's bodies will undergo great changes. It is worth mentioning that by paying attention to the various characteristics of menstruation, we can know the physical health status of women. How to look at it specifically?

1. Menstrual cycle

First of all, you need to know how many days your menstrual cycle is. The menstrual cycle is calculated from the first day of each menstrual period to the first day of the next period. Generally the cycle is advanced. If the period comes more than 7 days earlier than the normal period and occurs for more than 2 cycles in a row, the person's constitution is mostly characterized by blood heat or qi deficiency. If the period is delayed, that is, 7 days later than the normal period, or occurs every 40-50 days, it is mostly caused by cold, blood deficiency, or qi stagnation.

2. Menstrual color and texture

Then start observing the color and texture of your menstrual blood. Menstrual fluid that is light in color and thin in texture is mostly related to "deficiency", such as qi deficiency, blood deficiency, spleen deficiency, kidney deficiency, or phlegm and dampness. Dark-colored menstrual fluid is often related to fullness, heat, blood stasis, and blockage, such as dark red, dark red, purple red, purple-black, and ink red; the texture is sticky and thick, or there are blood clots.

Of course, there are exceptions. For example, the two states of cold and heat are divided into two types: deficiency and excess. For example: blood heat can be divided into real heat and false heat. In both cases, the menstrual color is bright red, but real heat is accompanied by heavy menstrual flow, while false heat is accompanied by light menstrual flow. Blood cold can be divided into real cold and false cold. The menstrual blood of excess cold is dark or contains small blood clots, while the menstrual blood of deficiency cold is light in color or like black bean juice.

4. Menstrual volume

There is another indicator to observe the characteristics of menstruation, that is, the amount of menstruation, but it is impossible to determine the condition of qi and blood based solely on the amount of menstruation. For example, if it comes a lot, it seems like there is a lot of blood, but if the amount is large and the color is light, and the texture is thin, it is a sign of blood deficiency. It is considered hot only when the blood comes in large quantities, is very dark red in color, and has a thick texture. The same applies if the menstrual flow is less, the true condition of Qi and blood can only be judged based on the color and texture of the menstrual flow.

5. Associated symptoms

In addition to the nature of menstruation itself, the presence of dizziness, headache, dysmenorrhea, diarrhea, mood swings, etc. before and after menstruation can also be used to help judge the condition of qi and blood. For example, if you feel dizzy before and after menstruation, is it due to blood deficiency? It is actually very easy to judge. Just observe the menstruation.
