Gynecology from a Chinese medicine perspective

Traditional Chinese medicine has been treating a range of menstrual irregularities for millennia, including cycles too short, too long, or too variable, too scant or too heavy bleeding, as well as menses accompanied by a range of other symptoms such as abdominal pain, headache, acne, or mood changes. Acupuncture regulates the menstrual cycle, and uterine and ovarian blood flow encouraging thickening of the uterine wall, making embryo implantation more successful and improving fertility.
