GYNECOLOGICAL DISORDERS

Irregular menstrution, infertility, menopause syndromes

Gynecological disorders

Irregular menstruation due to dysfunction of the ovary and with disturbance of menstruation is known as menstrual dysfunction. It includes all irregularities of the menstrual cycle, such as amenorrhea (abnormal absence or suppression of the menstrual discharge), dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation), and menorrhagia (abnormally profuse menstrual flow), along with prolonged or shortened course of the cycle, the color of the blood being too dark or too light, etc.

Acupuncture acts to regulate the body functions and is effective in normalizing the menses. It helps to relieve cramps, reduce clots, and regulate the flow and duration of the menstrual period. It also helps to alleviate some of the unpleasant accompanying effects of the menses such as premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and retention of body fluids, and the hot flashes, irritability, and depression sometimes associated with menopause. Acupuncture will also help to strengthen the body and effectively aid in recovery from childbirth, post-partum fatigue, and weakness. It is an effective treatment for post-partum blues since it gives a sense of relaxation and well-being.

Acupuncture can also effectively aid in the treatment of vaginal infections such as leukorrhea, a whitish vaginal discharge resulting from inflammation or congestion of mucous membrane.

Prior to childbirth, if the fetus is in a breach or transverse position, acupuncture can aid in the movement of the fetus to the correct fetal position. Acupuncture is the safest anesthesia for childbirth since there are no drugs involved, not undesirable side effects, and no transfer of drugs to the baby

Gynecological Menopause - Acupuncture often extremely effective in the treatment of menopause. Acupuncture is effective in regulating hormone imbalances. Menopausal symptoms are generally due to an imbalance in hormones, specifically, elevated FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) and lowered estrogen and progesterone.

PMS - Acupuncture  have a lot to offer for women suffering from PMS. Most of the symptoms of PMS are due to stagnation of energy. This results in pain, irritability, bloating, moodiness, food cravings, and breast tenderness. Over a few menstrual periods Acupuncture will regulate the flow of Qi so pain and other symptoms will disappear.

Menstrual Disorders - Acupuncture is very helpful in cases of Amenorrhea, Irregular Periods, and Dysmenorrhea. I have also had a very good success rate with cases of Spastic Dysmenorrhea, which is a specific condition where women often have debilitating spasms and pain the first day or two of their menses, which can be accompanied by loss of consciousness or vomiting.
 

Acupuncture and Infertility

Acupuncture works best when a functional problem is the cause of infertility, specifically when endometriosis, ovulatory problems or hormonal imbalances are the cause for not getting pregnant.

On the other hand, acupuncture has not been proven to be effective when structural problems, such as an improperly formed epididymis or a blocked fallopian tube, are the cause of infertility.

Acupuncture and Female Infertility

Many women chose acupuncture infertility treatment either on its own or in conjunction with assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedures, such as IVF.

Studies have proved the effectiveness of acupuncture for infertility. A 2004 study conducted by the Reproductive Medicine and Fertility Center in Colorado found that 51% of women who underwent both IVF and acupuncture treatment at the same time became pregnant, while only 36% of those who only underwent IVF did. The latter group also had higher rates of miscarriage stillbirth (20%) compared to those women who had received acupuncture (8%).

Acupuncture and Male Infertility

Men can also use acupuncture to treat their fertility problems, including erectile dysfunction or sperm health problems, such as low sperm count. The men who participated, those who had acupuncture had an increased percentage of sperm in their semen; their sperm structure and morphology was also healthier than their counterparts who did not undergo acupuncture infertility treatment.
