Treatment of intermenstrual bleeding from the perspective of heart and kidney
Intermenstrual bleeding,also known as ovulation bleeding,belongs to the category of abnormal uterine bleeding with ovulation disorders,and is a common and difficult disease in gynecology,which seriously endangers women's physical and mental health.Suwen(《素问》)records that"The blood vessel belongs to the heart,and the heart is in collaterals".XIA Guicheng proposes the"heart(brain)-kidney-uterus axis",pointing out that female ovulation depends on the function of heart(brain),and must be guided by the dynamic"heart"in order to successfully ovulate.Uterus is in charge of menstruation,the heart rules the blood and the mind,the heart meridian is connected with the uterus collaterals,and the mind regulates uterus menstruation.Kidney is in charge of reproduction,and regulates the rise and fall,of substances that sustain reproductive function;menstruation comes at the appointed time when substances that sustain reproductive function are normal.And because the uterus collaterals are connected with the kidney,and the uterus is tied to the pericardium above and tied to the life gate in the lower,so the relationship between the uterus and the heart and kidney is particularly close.The heart and kidney are the two poles of fire and water,just as the meridian pole of the Taiji(太极)diagram is the key node of Yin(阴)and Yang(阳)transformation.The intermenstrual period is the period when heavy Yin turns to Yang,and the intermenstrual bleeding is caused by the imbalance of Yin and Yang transformation,so regulating the relationship between the heart and kidney is the key to regulating the imbalance of Yin and Yang transformation and treating the intermenstrual bleeding.The key to regulating the heart and kidney is to restore and maintain the intersection of the heart and kidney,the treatment methods mainly includes connecting heart and kidney,tonifying kidney and calming heart,tonifying kidney and clearing the heart,so that the heart and kidney intersect,the monarch fire regulates Yang and the ministerial fire is in position,Qi(气)rise and fall orderly,Yin and Yang are in harmony,and there are normal transformation of blood and Qi,which is cyclic without end,then the intermenstrual bleeding can be healed.Treating intermenstrual bleeding from the perspective of heart and kidney not only takes into account the core pathogenesis of the disease,but also attaches importance to the patients'emotions,and achieves the simultaneous treatment of body and mind,in order to obtain good results.
