A healthy menstruation is regular, painless, and does not evoke strong emotional reactions. Do you experience menstrual complaints every month? Consider making an appointment with an acupuncturist!

Many women suffer from physical and emotional menstrual complaints. Sometimes it is so severe that they cannot function normally for a few days. The complaints often arise from hormonal changes that occur in the period before menstruation. This is called PMS, Premenstrual Syndrome. 

Women with PMS complaints, for example, experience mood swings, feel sad or irritable, and have menstrual pain in their abdomen and back. Fatigue, joint pain, headaches, and painful breasts are also common. 

If your menstrual cycle is out of balance, you may experience irregular menstruation, with excessive bleeding, spotting, or menstrual pain being common complaints.

Hormonal balance
An acupuncture treatment focuses on your hormone balance and the energy balance in your abdomen. But the energy balance elsewhere in your body may also be disrupted, causing your menstruation to not proceed smoothly.

Acupuncture for a healthy menstrual cycle
Sometimes a treatment is complemented with herbal therapy. Together with the acupuncture treatment, this ensures balance, so that menstruation returns to a healthy course and your physical and emotional complaints disappear. The number of treatments needed depends on the nature and severity of your menstrual complaints. The acupuncturist will provide you with more information on this.

Time for you
