Acupuncture Treatment for Menstrual Disorders
Period Cramps
- Causes: Menstrual cramps occur due to the contraction of the uterine muscles to shed the uterine lining. Excessive prostaglandin hormones can lead to more severe cramps.
- Symptoms: Painful, cramping sensations in the lower abdomen and lower back, often accompanied by nausea and diarrhea.
- Acupuncture’s Approach: Acupuncture can help alleviate period cramps by regulating blood flow, reducing inflammation, and promoting relaxation. It encourages the body to release endorphins, acting as natural painkillers.
Irregular Periods
- Causes: Irregular menstruation may be due to hormonal imbalances, stress, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or other underlying health conditions.
- Symptoms: Inconsistent menstrual cycles, unpredictable bleeding patterns, and potential fertility challenges.
- Acupuncture’s Approach: Acupuncture works to balance hormonal fluctuations, reduce stress, and regulate the menstrual cycle. It promotes a healthy flow and can support reproductive health.
Endometriosis
- Causes: Endometriosis results from the growth of uterine tissue outside the uterus, causing inflammation, scarring, and pain during menstruation.
- Symptoms: Severe pelvic pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, and potential fertility issues.
- Acupuncture’s Approach: Acupuncture aims to reduce inflammation, manage pain, and improve blood circulation to the pelvic area. It can help alleviate symptoms and support overall well-being.
Hormonal Headaches
- Causes: Headaches during menstruation can be triggered by hormonal changes, stress and tension.
- Symptoms: These conditions lead to intense head pain, sometimes accompanied by nausea, sensitivity to light, or visual disturbances.
- Acupuncture’s Approach: Acupuncture helps by reducing muscle tension, promoting relaxation, and increasing the release of endorphins, which act as natural painkillers. It can also address the root causes of these headaches, providing lasting relief.
