Blood Stagnation and Phlegm in the Uterus

Pathology

Blood Stagnation and Phlegm in the Uterus is a pattern of disharmony in Chinese Medicine.

Chinese Medicine views the human body as a complex system that tends toward harmony. A pattern of disharmony is a disorder that prevents that harmony from occurring.

Patterns give rise to symptoms that may at first glance seem unrelated from a Western standpoint but that actually make a lot of sense when one understands Chinese Medicine theory. For instance here Blood Stagnation and Phlegm in the Uterus gives rise to such diverse symptoms as persistent uterine bleeding of purple or dark blood, lower abdominal distension and pain that increases with pressure, fibroids and cysts in the lower abdomen and painful period (as well as three others).

Patterns aren't exactly the Chinese Medicine equivalent to Western diseases, they're rather the underlying causes behind diseases or health conditions. Here Blood Stagnation and Phlegm in the Uterus is thought to sometimes induce conditions such as infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease or retained placenta (as well as eleven others).
