What does hemorrhage mean?

Hemorrhage, also known as sudden hemorrhage, refers to an acute condition in which women suddenly experience heavy vaginal bleeding when they are not on their menstrual period. There are many causes of hemorrhage, such as excessive fatigue, qi deficiency, etc. For pregnant women and postpartum women, these symptoms may occur. In addition, during the abortion process, if the operation is not done properly, hemorrhage may also occur, which is particularly harmful to women's health.

Etiology and pathogenesis The main cause is the instability of Chong and Ren meridians, which leads to the lack of control over menstrual blood and excessive blood volume. Common types include qi deficiency, blood heat and blood stasis.

① Qi deficiency: Weak constitution, or irregular diet, overwork, serious illness or prolonged illness can damage the spleen, lead to insufficient Qi in the middle, unstable Chong and Ren meridians, and loss of blood control, thus causing heavy menstrual flow.

② Heat in the blood: The body is yang-dominant, or one eats spicy and dry food excessively, is affected by heat evil, and has excessive emotions, which turn into heat. The heat disturbs the Chong and Ren meridians, forcing the blood to flow abnormally, resulting in heavy menstrual flow.

③ Blood stasis, depression caused by hormones, or excessive anger. Stagnation of Qi may lead to blood stasis, or there may be residual blood after menstruation or childbirth, or the person may be affected by external pathogens, or he may have sexual intercourse without restraint, which may cause blood stasis inside the body, blocking the Chong and Ren meridians, and preventing blood from returning to the menstruation, thus leading to heavy menstrual flow.
