Research on Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Diagnosis and Treatment of Metrorrhagia and Metrostasia with Multidimensional Interventions

Abstract

Metrorrhagia and menorrhagia constitute a category of menstrual disorders characterized by severe disruption in the menstrual cycle, duration, and volume. “Metrorrhagia” (Beng) manifests as sudden, torrential vaginal bleeding, while “menorrhagia” (Lou) presents as a relatively gradual, persistent trickle with minimal blood loss. This condition affects women across all age groups and remains a common yet challenging gynecological disorder. Both Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Western medicine adhere to the principle of “treating the symptoms in acute cases and addressing the root cause in chronic cases.” Integrated Chinese-Western medicine treatment has emerged as one of the mainstream approaches for managing metrorrhagia and menorrhagia. Its core strategy combines “rapid Western medical hemostasis with fundamental TCM regulation,” thereby avoiding the side effects of sole Western hormonal therapy while compensating for the slower onset of TCM hemostatic effects.
