Amenorrhea is a condition in which a woman has an irregular menstrual cycle or has no period at all. One other symptom of this condition is a rising basal body temperature during the expected time at mid-cycle.
Chinese herbal therapy and acupuncture in Bellingham can allay a lot of menstrual disorders and ovulation issues by helping restore endocrine and hormonal balance in the woman’s body.
The treatment of acupuncture boosts the circulation of blood to the reproductive organs. The enhanced circulation means that the organs are being regulated and receive adequate amounts of nutrients and oxygen. From the viewpoint of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), the “qi” of the body flows freely, which nourishes and heals the body as it is naturally supposed to be.
The most likely cause of many menstrual and ovulation problems usually is an interruption in the endocrine system. Also, the organs that normalize reproductive hormones, the hypothalamus or pituitary, can malfunction. Hormonal disruptions in a woman body might lead to a development of a condition such as PCOS pr Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. Her body might also have either too much or too little estrogen. Infertility may not only be caused by a lack of ovulation: other unrelated fertility problems may or may not be caused by other conditions such as stress, fibroids, or endometriosis. If a woman’s menses becomes irregular due to the stoppage of oral contraceptives, Chinese medicine and acupuncture can help bring back your body to a natural cycle.
Some usual reasons of irregular menstrual cycle or no period including no ovulation if you are not pregnant include:
– Use of street drugs and certain legal medications
– Stress due to travel, or emotional swings
– PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome)
– Obesity
– Low body weight
– Endurance training or intense exercise
– Thyroid issues and hormone imbalances
– Breast feeding – until breast feeding is complete a period will not usually return
– Birth control pills
– Bulimia or anorexia
Acupuncture raises the flow of blood to the reproductive organs; this enhanced circulation means that the organs are sustained with the optimal amounts of nutrients and oxygen, and ensures that hormones move freely through the bloodstream. An irregular menstrual cycle as a result of oral contraceptive stoppage can be resolved with Chinese medicine enabling your body to go back to a natural cycle.
Moreover, acupuncturists provide treatments for issues that can interfere with a normal menstrual cycle (cramps, PMS, endometriosis, stress, etc.) Acupuncture therapies can treat anxiety which is a huge cause in hormonal imbalances. Acupuncturists typically administer three to six months of regular treatment. Afterwards, patients can experience significant improvement with their menstrual health and ovulation. One of the best benefits of the treatment is that it is natural and safe without the need of synthetic and pharmaceutical medications.
If your amenorrhea is related to weight problems, your practitioner will search for a healthy relationship to your weight that will result in greater reproductive health. Chinese medicine considers food as a vital factor in nourishing the body to good health. The body’s qi is improved by eating healthy foods. Eliminating certain foods and adding some can help readjust your systems to work optimally. Becoming healthy in a natural way produces a myriad of emotional, physical, and even spiritual benefits.
