Menopausal
syndrome
Menopausal syndrome occurs in women around the stopping
time of their circle. Now every woman will have the
menopausal syndrome. However, for some women, their
menopausal syndrome is so severe that they may suffer
from hot flash every 30 min with sweat and chilly
thereafter the hot flash.
Beside the hot flash, women may have also more or less
of headache, migraine, jaw spasm, short of breath, poor
sleep, dry mouth, constipation, reduced sex desire, dry
and pain in vagina, irritable emotion, anxiety,
depression, easy to loss temple, skin rash, dry skin,
loss of hair...
No clear parameter for western medicine to make the
diagnosis of menopausal syndrome. For women around 40
and 50 years of old, without evidence of any other
reasons for the hot flash, doctors are ready to name
your problem as "menopause syndrome". |
|
It is hard for western medicine to help women with the
menopause syndrome. Previous years, estrogen is used to
combat the syndrome, later, the progesterone products
are involved. Now, doctors are playing the ratio of the
estrogen and the progesterone in the treatment of
menopausal syndrome. If you come to this website, I am
sure that you have already known if and how such healing
protocol works. |

Now you can try our
Chinese medicine
If you have never tried the Chinese medicine for the
treatment of menopausal syndrome, I would like recommend
you try the Chinese medicine.
There are many kinds of remedies in the Chinese
medicine, including the herbal therapy, acupuncture,
massage, cupping, ear acupressure, etc. What I mean is
that the Chinese herbal therapy is the most potential
way to solve the problem, though the problem will be
solved faster with the use of acupuncture at the same
time with the herbal therapy.
Although we say that the main clinic manifestation for
the menopausal syndrome is hot flash, hot-cold shift
feeling, or hot-sweat-cold shift feeling, it is not at
all the clinic sign exclusive to the menopausal
syndrome. Many other clinic conditions can also show
such symptoms, for example, common cold, or malaria, as
well as other diseases. Chinese medicine doctor needs to
verify the exact reasons for such hot flash, so to
decide the therapy.
You should know that the clinic skill of each doctor is
largely different. This is also true for western
medicine doctors. Therefore, if you have never tried
Chinese medicine, it is worthwhile for you to try it,
and if one doctor failed to help you, you should go to
another one later. It is enough for you to try only one
to two weeks to know if the current doctor can or cannot
help you. We do not ask people to take the herbs for
years and years as the western medicine normally asks.

Menopausal syndrome – How TCM understands
it
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM),
menopause syndrome is regarded as an imbalance between the Yin
Xue and Yang Qi in the body.
Xue, in TCM, refers to the blood, liquid,
sweat and material aspects of the body. It belongs to the Yin
aspect of the body. Qi refers the bio-power that leads, manages,
or governs every function in the body. It represents the Yang
aspect. A healthy body has the combination of Yin and Yang. A
dead body is pure Yin, no Yang.
For women between the ages of 40 to 50
years, the Yin Xue has been exhausted due to pregnancies, sexual
activities, the physical and/or emotional lifestyle. Yang Qi is,
in part, transferred from the Yin Xue. When there is
less Yin Xue in the body, there is less Yang Qi to
maintain life, physically and emotionally (such as the ability
to handle the stress). Therefore, women in menopause feel
weakened both physically and emotionally.
Depending upon the clinic manifestation of
the syndrome, TCM treatment is variable. Readers can check which
group refers to you.
This helps
your doctor make the correct diagnosis. You also need to tell
your doctor of any changes you feel when undergoing treatment,
since the herbs may need to be changed from time to time. It is
not possible to use one herb or one herbal formula to help
everyone with the menopause syndrome.
(1) Emotional disorder mostly - Liver Qi
stagnation
The Liver system controls the body’s
emotional function, but it is also easily damaged by emotional
stress. Anger is the most significant emotional stress that
damages the Liver system (constant crying damages the Lung
system, constant laughter, the Heart; overwhelming feelings of
loss, the Spleen; and feeling overwhelmed by fear, the Kidney).
No feeling should be excessive.
People in this group feel, (as do other
sub-groups) hot flashes, sweaty, sleep poorly,
irritable, emotional,
reduced desire for sex and eating. Also,
there is a bloated feeling in the stomach area, especially in
the side of the stomach.
They may feel hoarseness in the throat
which needs constant clearing. They can feel sometimes feverish
and sometimes shiver with cold. The Doctor observes that the
pulse feels like a string of a violin, thin and tight. When
touched on the stomach area, the muscle is tender and extremely
sensitive. The herbal formula for this group experiencing poor
sleep is the Xiaoyao Wan or Jia Wei Xiaoyao wan. It only needs
to be taken for about three to five days to feel calm, less
tired and reduced hot flashes. If the hot flash remains, we need
to work on it with other formulas (see below).
(2) Banxia Xie Xing Tang Zheng
For those with the menopause syndrome
having frequent headaches, dizziness, nausea, fear, epilepsy,
sleeping problem, or even Jingsheng bing, the herbal formula
that contains the herb named Banxia should be considered.
People in this group are special. They feel
something wrong in nearly every part of the body. The
feelings are difficult to diagnose and eventually, after
several clinic tests, find nothing to be wrong. However, they
strongly feel that they are very sick and need care by others.
They can even consider that it is time for them to die.
People in this group are very sensitive to
physical and emotional stimulations in life. Physically, more
sensitive to changes in weather, hot, cold, humidity, noise,
light, smell, or taste, etc.. Emotionally, they are very
sensitive and are easily hurt by what others say, in anger or in
love. They indulged in what they like and escape from what they
dislike. Therefore, these persons are often artists, novelists,
journalists, designers or whose work involves creativity. They
tend to be in blood group AB or A.
They tend to have uneasy feelings on the
skin, such as numbness, hurting, burning, tingling, tight, or
worms moving. They can feel something in their throat that
forces them to clear. In hospital, the doctor cannot find
anything wrong. They feel nausea easily and tend to experience
car-sickness. Banxia Xie Xing Tang, or the formula with the herb
Banxia usually works for this group of people.

anything wrong. They feel nausea easily and tend to experience
car-sickness. Banxia Xie Xing Tang, or the formula with the herb
Banxia usually works for this group of people.
(3) Hot flash
For some people, the main problem is the
hot flash. The hot feeling comes suddenly and lasts for several
seconds or minutes, with or without sweating. Several herbal
formula are usually used for this problem.
(3a) Guizhi Tang Zheng.
Guizhi is the name of a herb. Tang, means
formula, and Zheng,
a syndrome. The syndrome is a concept in TCM but not in
conventional medicine. So, Quizhi Tang Zheng means the clinic
syndrome that is suitable to be treated with the Quizhi Tang.
People in this group are usually thin and
easily sweat before their menopause age. They do not like to be
in the wind since it makes them feel uncomfortable. Their tongue
is thin, fresh pink in colour, with little tongue covering. The
pulse is floating, little weak or little faster. With the onset
of menopause, it is
easy to feel cold after sweating. They usually have less
emotional trouble during menopause.
By treating with this formula, any other
previous problems, such as skin problems, chronic stomach pain,
some types of arthritis, allergic reactions (e.g., asthma), can
also be improved. Sweat could be profoundly improved amongst
others.
(3b) Baihu Jia Rensheng Tang Zheng
People in this group have severe hot
flashes with a clear dry mouth. A dry mouth is the biggest
problem for this group. They also dislike to be in the wind (as
does Guizhi Tang Zheng). The hot flash may not be followed by
the cold feeling or sweating. They tend to drink a lot of cold
water to ease their dry mouth. The pulse feels strong but still
kind of weak. These people are usually physically very weak.
This formula works well to reduce hot
flashes and the dry mouth within one to two days. (It is very
fast!). Along with less hot flashes and a not so dry mouth, one
usually has more energy and improved sleep.
(3c) Xiao Chaihu Tang Zheng
People in this group have similar
discomfort to those in the Xiaoyao Wan Zheng above, but with
clear hot flash-cold feeling or the hot flash which comes at the
same time every day, perhaps daily at 3 pm or 7 pm. They may
have a bloating feeling in the chest, or their upper stomach and
feel tender when touched.. They also tend to have less desire to
eat and do not feel hungry.
(3d) Tiao Wei Chengqi Tang Zheng.
People in this group feel hot,
but often
not as a flash. It can last for hours or even all day. They have
sweat but the sweat does not reduce the heat. They feel dry in
the mouth and are constipated. Their stomach is full and hard to
the touch.. Stool may even be felt around the navel. The tongue
is very dry with a heavy thick covering, which is usually dark
yellow in colour.
(4) Cold feelings
(4a)
Si Ni Sang Zheng
In clinic, there are some people who feel
they have very cold hands and feet, but when touched, they do
not feel cold. They also have pain, either in their chest or
stomach. They may have had this problem for a long time, but
they do not look tired physically or emotionally.
The tongue looks “old”, thick, dark red in colour and
dry, and the pulse feels strong and string like. The herbal
formula recommended is Si Ni Sang.
This is another very popular group. Modern life styles
keep people busy and stressed. The Yang Qi in the body is
blocked and not well distributed to the extremities (legs,
arms). Often will
have a dry mouth and be constipated, for there is
“fire” in the inside of the body. This group will be well
treated with the Fen Shui Dan Zheng (see below).
(4b) Fen Shui Dan Zheng
There is another group of people who feel
hot flashes, but also have cold hands and feet. Their hands and
feet, when touched, are truly cold. Their physical and emotional
activities have slowed down, with less energy for daily life and
no career ambitions. They tend to continually nap.
Daytime and night time have
become blurred.. They have less desire for
activity, talk very little or are reluctant take on new
challenges in life. This group could also have very hot on hands
and feet. Especially hot feet, which could wake up them at
night. Their hands and feet are cold, especially noticeable at
night. The face is pale and the pulse feels weak, deep, thin or
even difficult to
locate.
This is a critical situation in TCM. Urgent
treatment is needed.
Even if these people feel ok in all other parts of the
body, they feel no indication of illness in the body according
to conventional medicine. The herbal formula to be considered is
the Si Ni Tang, or Fen Shui Dan plus rougui.
(5) Blood stagnation
If none of the above treatments work, we
need to check if special conditions exist, which is called blood
stagnation syndrome.
This should be considered if the patient has been unwell
for a long time but does not seem to be weak physically or
emotionally; this condition is very complex and puzzling; their
muscles are tight; the tongue is dark red or showing black
spots; they have hot and sweaty feeling hands.
Readers should not misunderstand that the
above groups are the only groups for menopause syndrome. Clinic
condition is very complex. Sometimes one may belong to two or
more groups above.
