Irregular Menstruation

Balancing Irregular Menstruation with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)

Menstruation must have a balanced rhythm, and irregular menstruation can cause pain and discomfort to majority of women, prompting suspicion of possessing underlying health conditions. If your menstruation is too short, too long, or with multiple symptoms, TCM has an extensive remedy to rebalance the body disharmonies.

Some of the probable causes of an irregular menstruation are:

Liver Qi Stagnation:

Stress and emotional anxiety will lead to stagnation of energies, leading to delayed periods, mood swings, and cramping.

Cold in the Uterus:

Cold weather, cold food, or an underlying Yang deficiency can lead to delay in menstruation and pain for cramps.

Blood Deficiency:

Inadequate diet, chronic stress, or uncontrolled bleeding will lead to light periods, dizziness, and weakness.

Kidney Weakness:

The Kidneys are at the core of reproductive health, and it being weakened can cause irregular cycles, infertility, and lower back pain.

How TCM Helps with Menstrual Regulation

Rather than masking symptoms, TCM accumulates, nourishes, and harmonizes the body for long-term menstrual wellness.

Acupuncture: Circulation & Hormonal Balance

Acupuncture is also a very effective way of regulating menstrual cycles through stimulating certain meridians that is connected with reproductive health. Stimulation of crucial acupuncture points facilitates better Qi flow, relieves tension, and aids in balancing hormones. Improvements in menstrual regularity and relief from PMS symptoms occur in the majority of women after two sessions.

Herbal Medicine: Treatment Tailored to Your Constitution

TCM herbal medications are also tailored to heal each patient’s specific imbalances. Herbs such as Dang Gui (Angelica Root) feeds the blood, Bai Shao (White Peony) soothes the Liver, and Chuan Xiong (Ligusticum) opens the passage so as to reverse to a normal cycle.

Moxibustion: Warming the Uterus for Enhanced Flow

For delayed periods due to exposure to cold or Yang deficiency in women, moxibustion (a treatment with mugwort heat) can stimulate circulation, warm the uterus, and foster enhanced blood flow.
