The Monthly Cycle - pt 1

12/8/2012

Picture
Menstruation is something most women take for granted, a monthly irritation.  But what can we do if your periods have stopped, or your bleeds are long and unpredictable?  In my practice, I have been seeing a patient whose periods could last up to 3 weeks, with severe pain and other symptoms.  Managed through medication for most of her adult life, she came to me to see if acupuncture might help this in a more natural way.  We have seen her cycle improve month by month since we started working together, to the point where they are almost normal and we expect they will continue to improve.  As you can imagine this has been liberating.  Her energy levels have improved, she can exercise properly again and she can actually think about trying to get pregnant when the time is right.  This was not a 'quick fix'  - the changes have been effected over several months, but given this has affected her since her teens this is not surprising.  Acupuncture works with the body to help it naturally come back into balance - and part of this balance is the body's natural rhythms and cycles.  
 
There are several other conditions that can affect the monthly cycle, the most common include PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) and endometriosis.  Please do contact me if you would like any more information or a telephone consultation regarding your monthly cycle.
