Title: Possible Causes of Menstrual Delay
In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), menstrual delay is often considered an indication of an imbalance in the internal circulation of Qi and blood. As the ancients said, "Women are rooted in blood," and the regularity of the menstrual cycle is directly related to a woman's health. So, when a woman's period is consistently delayed by 8-9 days, how does TCM understand and regulate it?1. Qi Deficiency and Blood Weakness: If someone is usually weak and prone to illness, with pale complexion and easy fatigue, it may be due to Qi deficiency and blood weakness, which can lead to menstrual delay. In TCM, Qi is considered the leader of blood, and when Qi is deficient, it lacks the power to propel the blood to flow normally.
2. Kidney Deficiency: The kidney is the root of life, and kidney deficiency can cause menstrual delay. People with kidney deficiency often experience weakness in the lower back and knees, dizziness, and a lack of energy.
