Getting your period signals the dawn of womanhood.

But for many, monthly menstruation means annoyance or intense pain.

From excruciating cramps to mood swings and irregular periods, menstrual problems are more common than you might think.

Consider the fact that, on average, a woman experiences around 450 periods in her lifetime; enduring such suffering should not be a way of life.

More importantly, untreated menstrual problems can lead to severe health conditions such as iron deficiency anemia, infertility, pelvic pain, and ovarian cysts.

Menstrual problems, also known as dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB), can manifest in various ways, including:

Irregular periods: Periods that come too often, too infrequently, or are unpredictable in timing.

Heavy or light menstrual bleeding: Abnormalities in blood flow, leading to excessively heavy bleeding that lasts for more than eight days, or unusually light menstrual bleeding.

Painful periods: Severe cramps, bloating, and discomfort during menstruation.

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS): Emotional and physical symptoms that occur before menstruation, such as mood swings, irritability, anxiety, depression, fatigue, and breast tenderness.

Some other symptoms:

• Lower back and pelvic aches.
• Nausea.
• Headaches.
• Diarrhea.

1. Hormonal Imbalances: Prostaglandins trigger uterine cramping and heavy bleeding. Fluctuations in estrogen, progesterone, and other hormones can disrupt the menstrual cycle.

2. Structural Abnormalities: Uterine fibroids, polyps, or endometriosis can interfere with normal menstrual function.

3. Inflammation: Period flow provokes local swelling and tenderness.

4. Reproductive Conditions: Endometriosis, cysts, and fibroids exacerbate symptoms.

5. Medical Conditions: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), thyroid disorders, and certain medications can contribute to menstrual problems.

6. Stress: High cortisol levels worsen discomfort and emotional sensitivity.

7. Poor Diet and Exercise: Lifestyle factors such as an unhealthy diet or lack of exercise can contribute to menstrual irregularities.

Conventional treatments for menstrual problems often involve medications such as pain relievers and anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), hormonal contraceptives (birth control pills), and muscle relaxants, and in severe cases, surgery.

While these medications may provide temporary relief, they often come with side effects and do not address the root cause of the problem:

Just Temporary Relief: Symptoms often return once meds wear off.

Side Effects: Upset stomach, headaches, and dizziness are common.

Hormonal Impact: The Pill's synthetic hormones create new issues.

Ineffectiveness: For 1 in 5 women, OTC medications provide little help.

In extreme cases, surgical interventions might be recommended, but they come with risks and a longer recovery period.

Acupuncture, rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, has emerged as a safe and effective alternative for managing menstrual problems.

Studies show acupuncture alleviates period problems safely and effectively – even stubborn ones that drugs have failed.

Reduces Cramps Up to 90%: By increasing endorphins and regulating prostaglandin levels.

Lessens Heavy Bleeding: Needling specific points slows excess menstrual flow.

Eases Pain and Bloating: Acupuncture decreases local uterine inflammation.

Corrects Hormonal Imbalance: Restoring harmony to estrogen, progesterone, and cortisol prevents PMS mood swings too.

Improves Reproductive Conditions: For endometriosis and PCOS sufferers, symptoms dramatically improve.

Acupuncture focuses on balancing the body's energy flow, promoting overall well-being and hormonal balance.

By inserting thin needles into specific points on the body, acupuncture stimulates the body's natural healing mechanisms, promoting balance and alleviating symptoms.

Reduces Pain: Fine needles are strategically placed to stimulate specific points, alleviating pain, cramps, bloating, lower back and pelvic aches, and discomfort during menstruation.

Regulates Hormones: Acupuncture sessions can balance hormone levels, reducing menstrual irregularities and excessive bleeding.

Improves Mood: Acupuncture helps manage PMS symptoms by reducing anxiety, irritability, mood swings, nausea, and headaches.

Enhances Blood flow: Acupuncture improves blood flow to the pelvic area, promoting overall reproductive health.

Addresses Underlying Conditions: Acupuncture helps manage conditions like PCOS and endometriosis, which can contribute to menstrual problems.
