Gynaecological conditions:
E.g. menstrual disorders (such as irregular periods, PMS, PMDD, menorrhagia), polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, uterine prolapse, infertility, menopausal symptoms, leucorrhoea (vaginal discharge), fibroids (if small).
Acupuncture can be highly effective in the treatment of gynaecological conditions due to Chinese Medicine’s understanding of the relationship between Qi, Blood and Essence. While these terms may not be familiar to those of us brought up with a Western medical tradition, TCM theory puts these substances at the centre of its practice with the result that women’s health is often very responsive to acupuncture and moxibustion.
Acupuncture can help to balance hormones such as FSH, LH, oestrogen and progesterone.
Women’s health is often highly complex: whether or not you come with specific gynae issues, it is likely I shall ask you questions in this area. Please note I may ask you about pregnancies and so forth.
