Women's Health
I specialise in acupuncture for women's health issues. Acupuncture can be extremely successful in treating a whole range of issues, ranging from pre-menstrual tension, painful periods, infertility, and pregnancy right through to the menopause.
For all women's' health issues, alongside the acupuncture treatments I offer advice in relation to diet, Chinese herbs, lifestyle and exercise regimes to help obtain optimum health.
Fertility - Acupuncture can often assist a woman or couple achieve a natural conception without recourse to assisted reproductive techniques. There are many and varied reasons why women fail to fall pregnant. Chinese Medicine considers that the Kidneys govern reproduction and their healthy function is vital for fertility as is the function of the Uterus and Ovaries. Amenorrhoea, polycistic ovarian syndrome and endometriosis are some of the more common causes of female infertility, and acupuncture has shown to be very effective in treating these conditions.
If a male partner has fertility issues e.g. poor sperm, low-sperm count, motility issues, I will advise the female partner that he should also seek treatment so that both are in optimal health for conception to occur. If male partners would rather see a male acupuncturist, I refer them to one.
