From adolescence to menopause, including pregnancy: acupuncture gently accompanies the major stages of a woman’s life.
From adolescence to menopause, including pregnancy: here are the main reasons for consultation in women’s health, and how acupuncture can help.
In Chinese medicine, menopause corresponds to a gradual decline of Kidney Yin, which can show up as hot flushes, night sweats, irritability or sleep problems. Acupuncture aims to rebalance Yin and Yang to ease the intensity of these symptoms, alongside gynaecological follow-up and, where appropriate, hormone therapy.
Endometriosis is often accompanied by chronic, sometimes disabling pelvic pain. Acupuncture does not treat the disease itself, but can help ease the pain and relax the pelvic area, always alongside the specialised gynaecological follow-up that this condition requires.
In teenage girls as in adult women, painful periods often reflect, in Chinese medicine, a stagnation of Qi and Blood. Regular sessions, particularly in the days before menstruation, can help reduce pain intensity and limit the need for painkillers.
First-trimester nausea and vomiting, constipation, fatigue, low back or sciatic pain related to the weight of the belly: many of the minor discomforts of pregnancy often respond well to acupuncture. The points and techniques used are strictly adapted to each trimester, safely for both mother and baby.
The approach is holistic: we look for the underlying imbalance behind the symptom, taking each woman’s individual constitution into account. During pregnancy, the points and techniques used are strictly adapted to each trimester, with safety as the priority.
