About Menstruation Cycle: Understanding Your Condition and How Acupuncture Works
Because of the changes going on, particularly with hormones, this can cause irregularity within the body and cause many undesirable conditions.
From the point of view of Chinese patterns of disharmony, all of these symptoms can be traced to a stagnation of liver qi. Since the liver stores the blood and regulates the smooth flow of qi, it is almost always the organ involved in menstrual problems. When liver qi flows smoothly, the menstrual cycle is also smooth.

Causes of Menstruation Cycle
The menstrual cycle is a natural process that occurs in reproductive-aged individuals and involves hormonal fluctuations and changes in the uterine lining to prepare for potential pregnancy. On average, the menstrual cycle lasts around 28 days, although variations are common. The menstrual cycle is divided into several phases, including menstruation (bleeding), the follicular phase, ovulation, and the luteal phase. Irregularities in the menstrual cycle, such as irregular periods, heavy or light bleeding, or absent periods, can indicate underlying health issues or hormonal imbalances.
