Welcome to our page dedicated to the menstrual cycle, a vital aspect of women's health.

 

At Clínica Ana Majewski, we understand the importance of understanding and honoring the menstrual cycle as a fundamental indicator of women's health. Here, we embrace a holistic approach, integrating the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with modern scientific knowledge.

We understand that each woman is unique, and her menstrual cycle is a reflection of her general health.

By understanding the different stages of the cycle, we can identify patterns and provide personalized guidance to optimize women's health.

 

Phases of the Menstrual Cycle: Menstruation - Follicular Phase - Ovulation - Luteal Phase

 

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the phases of the menstrual cycle are understood from an energetic perspective, associating each phase with different patterns of Qi (energy) and Blood.

​

Menstruation (Qi Descent Phase):

Energy Characteristics: During this phase, Qi and Blood descend to be eliminated, representing a cleansing.
Physical Manifestations: The woman may feel more introspective, the presence of mild cramps is common, and menstrual flow is observed.

Follicular Phase (Blood Building):

Energy Characteristics: At this stage, the body begins to build Blood, preparing for ovulation.
Physical Manifestations: Energy begins to rise, and the woman may feel an increase in vitality and energy.

Ovulation (Peak of Yang):

Energy Characteristics: It is the moment of peak Yang, indicating a phase of heat and maximum activity.
Physical Manifestations: A woman's energy can increase 

 

Luteal Phase (Blood Nutrition):

Energy Characteristics: The focus now is to nourish and sustain the Blood to prepare the body for a possible pregnancy.
Physical Manifestations: Some women may feel calmer, while others may experience premenstrual symptoms.

Each phase is unique and crucial to women's health, and imbalances in any of them can manifest themselves through irregular menstrual symptoms, discomfort or other health problems.

 

TCM's holistic approach aims to balance the body's energies, promoting robust, overall menstrual health.

Our services aim to promote hormonal balance, addressing issues such as menstrual irregularities, pain, premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and other symptoms related to any phase of the menstrual cycle.
