Many women think of a light period as a small thing that does not matter much. Yet it is one of the signs that something in the menstrual cycle is not working as it should.
Physiologically, the young adult years are the time when a woman’s body is at its most developed and vigorous. That means her cycle should be regular and her periods full. However, stress and pressure from many different sources can affect the body and the reproductive axis, and make the cycle unstable.
A young patient, 28 years old, came to the clinic feeling restless and irritable for 1 week before each period. Her bleeding stopped and started during the period, the amount had been dropping steadily over the past 2 years, and by then it was very light.
After the examination, the clinic found that her main problem was linked to stress and to imbalances in the pituitary, the hypothalamus and the adrenal glands. On the traditional medicine examination, she had imbalances involving the Conception Vessel (Ren mai), the Governing Vessel (Du mai) and the San Jiao (Triple Burner).
The patient herself had noticed that the changes in her cycle began at the same time as a period of heavy stress in her life.
With this picture in hand, the clinic began treatment step by step:
- Using Applied Kinesiology techniques to correct a number of imbalances in the reproductive axis, the pituitary, the hypothalamus and the adrenal glands, and to balance the Conception and Governing Vessels… while also temporarily clearing the effects of stress on her body.
- Using traditional herbal medicine with a treatment approach to tonify the Kidney, soothe the Liver and clear phlegm from the uterus, combined with tonifying qi with a high dose of Huang qi (Astragalus membranaceus root) before the period.
As a result, her next cycle returned to normal, with more blood, a steady flow without stopping and starting, and no more restlessness or irritability before her period.
During treatment, however, she went through some other changes, such as intense itching after her period.
The clinic again used Applied Kinesiology in the examination and found that the real cause had nothing to do with her cycle. So the treatment was extended by guiding her to watch out for allergens, together with herbs that nourish essence and blood suited to her condition at that time. After that, the itching did not come back.
This is one patient’s course; each person responds to treatment differently.
Focusing on a thorough diagnosis and finding the real cause of the problem helped the treatment move faster. This not only improved her health, it also shows how important it is to diagnose and treat period problems properly.
