Menstruation Disorders - Dysmenorrhea - Causes of Blood Deficiency in TCM Perspective

All women experience menstruation disorders sometime during their child bearing years before menopause. While Western medication has never viewed that menstruation disorder is a problem of a women's reproductive system, traditional Chinese medicine looks at this problem seriously. If untreated, it will dis-harmonize the women's ecosystem, leading to nervous tension and other health problems, including infertility.

Blood deficiency is defined as a condition of liver abnormal function in blood formation or spleen's inability in transporting blood to the body's vital organ and cells.

1. Poor diet

According to TCM, poor diet may affect the function of liver function in blood formation, if it fails to be properly nourished by the qi from the energy source of spleen. Diet with little or no iron also contributes to the blood deficiency.

2. Abnormal liver function

Abnormal function of liver can be caused by raw foods diet as its affects the spleen function in assisting the digestive system function in absorbing vital energy from foods that reduces the liver function in blood storing and formation.

3. Liver imbalance

Liver imbalance caused by excess of any pathogen or/and toxins accumulated can also reduce the normal function of blood storing and formation of the liver.

4. Alcohol drinking

Long terms alcohol drinking damages the liver function in blood formation and regulating the spleen function in energy distribution, leading to not enough blood for the circulatory system to supply nutrients and oxygen to the reproductive organs, resulting in symptoms of dysmenorrhrea such as cramps and pain before, during or after menstruation.

5. Anemia

Anemia is a chronic illness, it is caused by either easily broken off red blood cells or abnormal function of liver in blood formation.
