What are the Reasons for Menstrual Dragging and Dribbling?Why Does Menstruation Drag On?
Menstrual dragging and dribbling can be caused by various factors. One of the common reasons is the imbalance of the body's Yin and Yang. In traditional Chinese medicine, the menstrual cycle is closely related to the balance of Yin and Yang. When the Yin and Yang are out of balance, it can lead to menstrual irregularities, such as dragging and dribbling. Other factors that can cause menstrual dragging and dribbling include endometriosis, fibroids, and ovarian cysts.
How Does Traditional Chinese Medicine View Menstrual Dragging and Dribbling?
Traditional Chinese medicine views menstrual dragging and dribbling as a sign of internal imbalance. It believes that the body's organs and meridians are interconnected, and any imbalance in one part can affect the whole body. Therefore, treating menstrual dragging and dribbling involves addressing the root cause of the imbalance, rather than just alleviating the symptoms.
How to Treat Menstrual Dragging and Dribbling in Traditional Chinese Medicine?

This can be achieved through various methods, such as herbal medicine, acupuncture, and massage. Herbal medicine is often used to nourish the blood, regulate the Qi, and harmonize the body's Yin and Yang. Acupuncture and massage can help to relieve pain, improve blood circulation, and restore the balance of the body's meridians.
