Analysis of Professor LUO Zhijuan's Experience in Treating Menopausal Syndrome of Kidney Yin Deficiency Type
Menopause syndrome is a series of physical,mental and psychological symptoms of premenopausal and post-menopausal women,with a high incidence,which seriously affects women's life and work quality.Traditional Chinese med-icine believes that its main etiology and pathogenesis are based on kidney deficiency,caused by the imbalance of kidney Yin and Yang.Modern medicine believes that its pathogenesis is a decrease in estrogen levels.Professor LUO Zhijuan ana-lyzed the occurrence of menopausal syndrome caused by"decreased estrogen levels"and"kidney Yin deficiency"from the perspective of combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine when treating menopausal syndrome with kidney Yin de-ficiency.She speculated on the relationship between the two and believed that estrogen is closely related to the substance"Tiangui"in traditional Chinese medicine,which may belong to the categories of"kidney essence"and"kidney Yin".The treatment principle is to tonify the kidney,nourish Yin,and fill essence,and the formula is selected based on the em-pirical analysis of the modified Guiluo's Wuzi Yangzang decoction.
