What Amenorrhea Is and How It Affects Fertility
In Chinese medicine, the primary organs responsible for regulating blood and menstruation are the liver, spleen, and kidneys. The kidneys are responsible for the conception, reproduction, and egg quality. The spleen and liver control the number of nutrients and the smooth flow of the hormones. Nurture Acupuncture treats patients with Amenorrhea based on an individualized assessment of their particular condition and custom-tails an appropriate and effective treatment plan.
Firstly, amenorrhea disrupts fertility, but acupuncture promotes hormonal balance and regulates the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis. Additionally, it stimulates blood flow to reproductive organs and the brain. Moreover, acupuncture relaxes the body and reduces stress levels effectively. Conversely, elevated stress can halt menstruation by blocking reproductive blood flow. Furthermore, stress disturbs hormonal equilibrium, significantly impacting menstrual cycles.
Chinese Herbs are highly individualized and help build the uterine lining and adjust the Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Ovarian axis. This rebalance helps regulate and improve the body’s natural hormonal production, which in turn aids in proper menstruation. And, Chinese herbs nourish the spleen, liver, and kidney system which are responsible for our reproductive health.
Reproductive Organ Massage is a highly specialized form of therapeutic massage that manipulates the fascia of the pelvic cavity to improve blood circulation to the ovaries and to establish a better connection between the pituitary and the ovary. Therapeutic massage may improve endocrine function by relieving stress and increasing pelvic blood flow.
Dietary Guidance Practitioners customize acupuncture for each patient based on kidney, liver, and spleen health. These organs control reproductive health and metabolic processes. For amenorrhea, eat whole grains, organic produce, lean meats, and less sugar. A quality diet helps balance hormones and restore menstrual function. Increase intake of calcium, vitamins A, C, D, E, K, and B6. Additionally, boost your intake of boron, zinc, selenium, and essential fatty acids.
How Western Medicine Treats Amenorrhea
The normal protocol in Western medicine is to prescribe hormone therapy or birth control pills to regulate the menstrual cycle. Western medicine effectively treats amenorrhea symptoms, yet it struggles to address the root causes.
