It's no use being pregnant at 38. Who knows?
Miss Chen, 38, has been married for six years and has regular menstruation, but as long as there is pressure at work or at home, she will start to have irregular menstruation. Because of her pregnancy plan, she actively prepared for pregnancy, measured her basal body temperature regularly and calculated the ovulation period, but there was no good news about her stomach.
Expectations from family and work have caused great psychological pressure. Usually busy with work and unbalanced diet. At the same time, menstrual flow has become very chaotic. In the first two or three months, the amount of menstruation has not changed much, only one or two days of bleeding, and the color is dark, or there is no menstruation for a while, and you can almost spend it without sanitary napkins. In the next few months, I suddenly had a heavy menstrual flow, and the menstrual time was often unpredictable, and my basal body temperature was also high.
She went to United Hospital Renai Hospital for Chinese medicine treatment. Chinese medicine suggests matching ovulation test paper to detect whether there is ovulation, and it is found that there are no signs of ovulation during that time. It is speculated that anovulatory menstruation is caused by endocrine disorder. After half a year's efforts of Chinese medicine and acupuncture, menstruation was regular, and then she got pregnant and gave birth to a child.
Zhou, the attending physician of Chinese Medicine Department of Renai Hospital of Taipei United Hospital, said that the menstrual cycle of normal women is controlled by cerebral cortex, hypothalamus, pituitary gland, uterus and ovary, and is influenced by female endocrine system. Ovary periodically secretes estrogen before ovulation and progesterone after ovulation. Under the action of these two hormones, the endometrium will change during the proliferation and secretion periods. When the levels of these two hormones drop, the endometrium will be necrotic without hormone support, that is, menstrual cramps.
Be careful to lose weight at will, which may lead to menstrual disorder.
The doctor explained that female friends often have menstrual disorders due to lifestyle, diet, stress and other reasons, which often lead to anovulatory menstruation and infertility. At this time, the pattern of menstrual bleeding may be short days or only dark brown secretion, which mostly leads to long follicular cycle without ovulation. Therefore, in the case of continuous secretion of estrogen in the body, the endometrium has only proliferative changes. So when estrogen drops to a certain extent, it will also lead to endometrial shedding and a small amount of menstrual flow, so that you may only need to use tampons or pads. Then because the endometrium continues to thicken, the menstrual flow will suddenly explode in a few months. This is usually related to the lack of progesterone in the body. The body does not produce enough lutein, so there is no high temperature period and ovulation period, which leads to long-term infertility. This usually happens to female friends with pituitary adenoma, polycystic ovary, hypothyroidism, random weight loss or ovarian dysfunction.
There are TCM prescriptions for infertility caused by anovulatory menstruation.
Dr. Zhou explained that Chinese medicine believes that ovulation is the basis of the growth of kidney essence, and the condition of ovulation is that the meridians and qi and blood are unblocked, and the female endocrine will be stable.
The most important thing to treat infertility caused by menstrual anovulation is to regulate qi and blood. From the perspective of western medicine, it is to stabilize the reproductive endocrine axis, which is the strength of Chinese medicine. In addition to the problem of qi and blood, conditioning the body's water is also a very important key. Through syndrome differentiation and treatment, the use of traditional Chinese medicine with the functions of benefiting qi, regulating blood, removing blood stasis, resolving phlegm and tonifying kidney is helpful to stabilize ovulation and improve egg quality. If the Yang webbed pulse is sick, it is advisable to use the Shenmai point of the bladder meridian, so you can press Rubbing Gongsun Point, Shenmai Point, Zhao Hai Point, Zulinqi Point and Houxi Point at ordinary times.
There are four steps in pregnancy preparation.
Developing a good pregnancy constitution needs to start from daily life. Chinese medicine has put forward four key reminders for a good pregnancy:
Normal work and rest, reducing staying up late, and following the classics are the foundation of health preservation. Go to sleep before 1 1 at night, and the endocrine stability of the body is closely related to the liver and gallbladder meridians of traditional Chinese medicine. For example, 23:00-0 1:00 is the running time of gallbladder meridian and liver meridian, so you should fall asleep before 1 1: 00 at night, and your endocrine and menstruation will follow normal. Exercise at least three times a week, brisk walking, jogging and aerobic exercise can improve heart and lung function. Be sure to exercise until you sweat, 3 ~ 4 times a week, once for 30 minutes, and then depending on your physical fitness, it can help the whole body to circulate more smoothly. Eat a balanced diet and don't eat supplements indiscriminately. Not ovulating doesn't mean kidney deficiency. Don't eat Chinese medicine or lose weight. Losing weight or dieting quickly can easily lead to endocrine disorder, menstrual disorder and even ovulation. Special attention should be paid to eating a variety of foods in moderation and eating a balanced diet. Emotion regulation is the most important thing, "regulating emotions", and the liver mediates emotions through the function of relieving qi. Chinese medicine believes that emotional health depends on the harmony of qi and blood. With the release of the liver, qi can remain unobstructed, that is, maintain a good psychological state and comfortable mood, and realize a healthy physiological cycle.
