Traditional Chinese medicine treats high prolactin and has good effects on deficiency and excess treatment

High prolactin is clinically known as hyperprolactinemia. Both internal and external environments can trigger this disease. Amenorrhea, infertility, and no ovulation are typical manifestations. It can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine. At the same time, you should pay attention to your lifestyle, drink plenty of water, and have an optimistic and positive attitude.

1. TCM treatment of hyperprolactinemia

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the cause and pathogenesis of this disease is relatively complex, but in principle it can be divided into two categories: deficiency and excess. Deficiency refers to liver and kidney deficiency, insufficient essence and blood, and an empty blood sea. When there is no blood to flow, amenorrhea will occur; when qi and blood are weak and kidney qi is not solid, milk will overflow. It is actually caused by liver depression and qi stagnation, blood stasis and phlegm obstruction, which block the meridians and force menstrual blood to flow downward; or it is caused by heat accumulation in the liver meridians and abnormal blood secretion, which forces milk to overflow. Due to insufficient endowment, the kidney qi is not strong, the essence is not sufficient, the liver blood is deficient, the Chong and Ren meridians are not nourished, and cannot be transformed into menstrual blood; or due to sexual overwork or long-term illness, the kidney essence is depleted, the liver blood is also deficient, the essence and blood are scarce, the source is cut off, the Chong and Ren meridians are damaged, and there is no blood to flow out of the uterus, resulting in amenorrhea.

As stated in "Medical Biography": "Menstruation is entirely dependent on kidney water. Once the kidney water is exhausted, the menstrual water will dry up day by day." Or the kidney yang is deficient, the yang qi cannot reach the body, the yang deficiency causes cold, and the deficiency cold causes blood stagnation; or the kidney yang deficiency cannot warm the spleen and strengthen the body, and the absorption is powerless, which can be seen as the milk is digested and discharged. If the spleen and stomach are weak, or if one eats too much, is overworked, takes medicine improperly, or is overly worried, the heart and spleen will be damaged, and the blood will be insufficient; or if one is seriously ill for a long time, has an abortion or miscarriage, etc., which results in blood loss, or if one breastfeeds for too long and damages Qi and consumes blood, the Chong and Ren meridians will be deficient, the sea of ​​blood will be empty, and no blood can be discharged, resulting in amenorrhea.

As it is said in "Lanshi Mi Zang", "A woman's spleen may be in need for a long time, or her body may be weak and her qi and blood may be weakened, which may lead to the cessation of menstruation." If the seven emotions cause internal damage, the liver qi may be stagnant, qi may stagnate and blood may stagnate, the Chong and Ren meridians may be blocked, the uterine vessels may be congested, and menstruation may be blocked, thus causing amenorrhea; or if anger and depression damage the liver, the liver fire may be hyperactive, and the discharge of qi may be excessive, forcing milk to overflow.

2. Lifestyle and Health Care

1. Drink more water: Drinking more water or juice can also effectively control body temperature.

2. Face life with optimism: Although women around 50 may face many new problems, such as their children growing up and starting their own families, which may bring some loneliness, they can still live a fulfilling life during this period. For example, they can continue to go to school and learn things that they wanted to learn when they were young but did not have time to learn, or do some sports they like. Walking, jogging, cycling, dancing, skipping rope, swimming, etc. are all good choices. These will make people feel happy and forget their worries.

3. Maintain a regular sex life: Regular sex life is not easy to make the skin hot, and can indirectly stimulate the degenerated ovaries to ease the hormone system and prevent a sharp drop in estrogen.

1. Strengthen your physical fitness, improve your health level, strengthen physical exercise, do health-preserving gymnastics or practice Tai Chi regularly, etc.

2. Avoid mental stimulation, stabilize your emotions, keep your qi and blood flowing smoothly, and keep warm during menstruation, especially below the waist. Keep your feet away from cold, avoid wading through cold water, and avoid eating raw or cold fruits and vegetables.

3. The body's resistance is weak during menstruation, so avoid heavy physical labor, pay attention to the balance between work and rest, coordinate the Chong and Ren meridians, do not take cold medicines during menstruation, strengthen nutrition, pay attention to the spleen and stomach, and if your appetite is good, you can eat more meat, eggs, milk and fresh vegetables, and avoid spicy and stimulating foods.
