This is indeed the case. I looked through the articles about conditioning that I wrote several years ago. They were full of "should be done in this way and how" and "must be implemented in this way". It was very vivid like a well-trained teaching director standing on the podium holding a pointer in his hand.
At that time, I thought that by clearly spelling out the terms and conditions, I would be responsible.
Until last night, a reader left me a message. She said: "I understand everything you said, but I just can't do it. Can I control my bad mood?".
This sentence was like a thorn in my perfectionism.
Yes, the most bizarre thing about irregular menstruation is that it is actually the body’s most sincere protest against “an imperfect life.” The more you try to use rules and regulations to restrict it, the more it will confront you tit for tat.
What exactly counts as "adjusting"?
Don't think of your body as a machine, tighten it a little if it's loose here, and replenish it if there's a lack of oil there.
No.
Look, those girls who actually have normal menstrual cycles don’t necessarily eat very carefully, nor do they go to bed that early. They just... live a particularly "loose" life. That state of no tension comes out from the heart, and the menstrual blood becomes smooth.
I made a discovery, I don’t know if it’s right or not:
The more self-disciplined a woman is, the more likely she is to miss her period. Those who run marathons, those who strictly abstain from carbohydrates, and those who get up at five o'clock every day, their bodies are too "tight". It's so tight that my uterus can feel it. It's not the right time to give birth to life. Let's close the door first.
You can eat back the trouble you incurred.
But I definitely don’t ask you to search for “what to eat to regulate menstruation the fastest”.
Some of the recipes available online ask you to drink brown sugar and ginger tea, while others ask you to eat black fungus and red date soup. These statements are all correct, but they may all be wrong. Why is this? The reason is that you don’t know whether you are cold or hot, whether you are deficient or stagnant.
There is a simple self-test method:
Breast swelling and pain before menstruation is mostly due to qi stagnation. Soaking roses in water is more effective than red dates;
It is considered cold when the hands and feet are cold and the lower abdomen will feel comfortable after getting a sense of heat. Only at this time can ginger brown sugar play its due role.
If the color of menstrual blood is dull and the number of blood clots is as large as peeling off endometrial fragments, then this situation may be due to blood stasis. At this time, drinking hawthorn brown sugar drink is more important than simply warming the uterus.
Don't follow the trend. Only you understand your body.
The invisible switch of emotion
Those Chinese medicine doctors always say that "the liver is the most important thing for women", and the liver is responsible for the release of emotions. The easy-to-understand translation of this is - every depressed emotion you have will be converted into days when menstruation is delayed.
I have a personal experience. During a certain period last year, I was under great pressure at work. For two consecutive months, my menstruation did not come. I went to the hospital for an examination, including six hormones and B-ultrasound. The results showed that there were no problems. The doctor asked: "Are you in a state of overwork?".
It’s not the body that’s tired, it’s the mind.
How did I get better after the project that made me angry was turned down? It may be hard to believe. Three days later, menstruation came.
The body is much more honest than our mouth.
Those "little things" that are ignored
You may not know that sometimes menstruation does not come just because the cold has not gone away.
Really, I'm not going to lie to you.
There was a 32-year-old girl who suffered from amenorrhea for half a year. She took numerous kidney-tonifying and blood-nourishing medicines, but to no avail. Later, after in-depth questioning by the doctor, it was discovered that she had contracted a flu six months ago and was in her menstrual period at the time, and her menstruation had stopped since then. Now she is afraid of the wind and cold, and her neck is as stiff as if she were carrying a stone.
What recipe did you use in the end? It's not a medicine to regulate menstruation, but a Pueraria lobata soup to treat colds.
After five days of taking it, my period came.
This is called "lifting the pot and uncovering the lid", which is to poke the small hole in the lid of the pot, so that the water inside can be poured out. When the pores are smooth, the menstrual blood will also be smooth.
So, don't always focus on the uterus. Sometimes, the problem appears on the shoulder, on the back, or in a place that you think you can't contact.
A common problem among modern people: taking the wrong medicine
Nowadays, when many people hear about irregular menstruation, their first reaction is to buy progesterone.
Wait a moment.
Progesterone is indeed a wonderful thing, but it doesn't do everything. It is like giving a "forced instruction" to the body, that is, menstruation must come. But what if your body has no desire to menstruate? Or maybe your endometrium is extremely thin and there is no material for it to shed?
The situation after the hard withdrawal is probably that there will be a little brown discharge at first, and then, when the second month comes, there will still be no menstruation.
The most extreme example I have ever witnessed was a girl suffering from polycystic cysts. After taking Diane-35 for three months, her menstruation was as accurate as a clock. However, once I stopped taking the medication, I had no menstruation for half a year.
Why? Because the medicine only does the work for the body, the body will not do the work itself.
Another possibility: seed therapy
Recently I saw some research saying that there is a very simple way - eating seeds.
It’s not about eating randomly, it’s about eating according to the cycle:
On days 1-14 of menstruation (follicular phase), eat flax seeds and pumpkin seeds;
On days 15-28 (luteal phase), eat sesame and sunflower seeds.
Does it sound like that mysterious and mysterious theory? However, there is indeed relevant research to support it. The lignans contained in flax seeds can regulate the metabolism of estrogen, the zinc in pumpkin seeds can help the development of follicles, the phytoestrogens in sesame seeds can support the function of the corpus luteum, and the vitamin E in sunflower seeds can assist in the secretion of progesterone.
What stands out is that this product is affordable and has no adverse effects. Even if it has no actual effect, it at least supplements high-quality fats and proteins.
If I had to tell you the most effective method
That is: forget about conditioning.
real.
Take your temperature every day, record your menstrual period, and check various information. The more you do this, the more endocrine disorders you will have. Anxiety itself is the biggest detriment to menstruation.
How did the girl with polycystic cysts finally get pregnant? Instead of using any magical medicine, the doctor prescribed an acupuncture treatment plan for her, which was carried out three times a week with the help of traditional Chinese medicine. After two months, she even forgot that she was still in the treatment process, and her period came as scheduled.
The body is like this. If you don't look at it, it will heal itself.
At the end of writing, I want to say
Those so-called "conditioning methods" are only auxiliary in the final analysis.
The real attending physician is yourself.
You decide the time to sleep, you decide whether to be angry or not, and you decide what to eat and drink. Medication is just a nudge when you get off track.
If I had to give advice, it would be these three points:
One week before your period, try not to eat ice cream. It’s not superstitious, it actually constricts blood vessels.
If you have severe headaches or severe breast swelling and pain during your period, don’t bear it. That's your body telling you to rest.
The following is an important point that must be emphasized - accept the imperfections of your own existence. Accept that there will be delays, accept that there will be small amounts, and accept that your body has its own rhythmic tendencies.
It's not a clock, it's a river.
The river may be fast or slow, may rise or fall, but as long as it is still flowing, it means that life is still going on.
That's enough.
