This results in cold, hernia-like pain radiating around the navel, with a deep and tight pulse.For women with amenorrhea and distension and pain in the lower abdomen. Stagnation of qi and blood prevents the flow of menstrual blood, causing pain in the intestines; this gradually accumulates into a mass, making the area below the navel resemble an inverted bowl.
