If the "manager" is weak, the "managed" will inevitably take the opportunity to "make waves", leading to early menstruation. If there is no fire in the pulse syndrome and the menstruation is early and late, it means that the heart and spleen are weak and cannot be absorbed.

      2. Blood heat

      People with excessive yang energy, excessive consumption of spicy food and supplements, depression, or prolonged illness and heavy blood loss are prone to blood heat. If the blood gets hot, it will flow in vain, and the flow rate will be accelerated, resulting in early menstruation.
