Qi-Blood And The Women's Physiological And Pathological Function In Perimenopausal Period

Traditional Chinese Medicine takes Qi And Blood as the basic material of human body.It's especially important to women's physiological functions. Ancient Chinese books indicate that Qi-Blood has a close relationship with women's physiological and pathological functions.In the history of TCM there are many doctors that researched and developed the physiology and pathology mechanism of Qi-Blood.《Plain Questions·Tiao Jing Lun》:"Qi and blood are most important in human body." Gynecology of TCM also has widely researched and developed the mechanism of Qi-Blood that effects the physiological and pathological functions of women.This article is a discussion about the relationship between Qi-Blood and women's physiological and pathological functions in perimenopausal period.《Plain Questions·Shanggu Tianzhen Lun》says:"For a woman,her kidney energy becomes prosperous when she is seven,as kidney determines the condition of the bone,and teeth are the surplus of bone,her milk teeth fall off and permanent teeth emerge when her kidney energy is prosperous;as hair is the extension of blood and blood is transformed from the kidney essence, her hair will grow when the kidney is prosperous.Her Taingui appears at the age of fourteen.At this time,her Ren channel begin to put through,and her Chong channel becomes prosperous and her menstruation begins to appear.As her physiological condition being mature,she can be pregnant and bear a child……By the age of forty-tow(6*7),her three Yang channels all begin to decline,her hair begins to turn white.After the age of forty-nine(7*7),her Ren and Chong channels are both declining,her menstruation severs as her Taingui being exhausted.Her physique turns old and feeble,and by then,she can no more conceive." It indicates that women in perimenopausal period is in a period of deficiency of kidney-Qi,impairment of the Chong and Ren Meridians,exhaustion of Tiangui and the consumption of Qi-Blood,so women's body is easy to get into imbalance between yin and yang. Systematic discussion on the women's physiological and pathological functions in perimenopausal period is still not enough.This article focus on the relationship between women's physiological and pathological functions and Qi-Blood,emotions and Qi-Blood,women's physiology and pathology in menopausal period and Qi-Blood as well as the clinical usage of Qi-Blood theory on perimenopausal syndrome with systematic discussion.Perimenopausal syndrome can be researched from tow aspects-Qi-Blood. Discussion on the mechanism of perimenopausal syndrome with Qi-Blood can supply a simple way of diagnosis more than complicated one to be used in clinical treatment of TCM.
