Amenorrhea is the absence of a period in a woman of reproduction age, for reasons not associated with pregnancy or lactation. There are two kinds of amenorrhea: primary and secondary.
Primary amenorrhea is when a person older than 15 has never gotten their first period. While secondary amenorrhea happens when a person doesn’t get a period for more than three months. While not having to deal with a certain monthly visitor might sound nice in theory especially in the summer. However, amenorrhea is actually a serious condition that can have lasting consequences. In addition to missing a period, other symptoms of Secondary Amenorrhea can include:
Nausea
Swollen breasts
Headaches
Vision problems
Being very thirsty
Goiter, an enlarged thyroid gland
Darkening skin
Another concerning factor for having amenorrhea is it can lead to fertility problems – difficulty conceiving, and pregnancy complications. It can also raise the risk of developing osteoporosis later in life.
In many cases and studies, Traditional Chinese Medicine has proven to be a safe and effective treatment for amenorrhea and other conditions related to menstruation. TCM helps stimulate the body through Chinese herbs and acupuncture treatments in order to regulate the body’s naturally-occurring hormones and restore natural hormone function.
For cases of amenorrhea, acupuncturists like Dr. Annie Yang 杨 of OAHU Central Earth Healing - Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic in Aiea, Honolulu seek first to restore and unblock the flow of Qi – that is, the life force that flows through each of us.
Because amenorrhea is a condition related to blood flow, acupuncturists focus their treatment on organs associated with blood flow, including the spleen, kidney, and liver. By focusing on these meridians, Qi can be restored, and that important monthly visitor will show up once more. Most of the patients who seek our help do go on to get their period again after 3 – 6 months of treatment with regular acupuncture and Chinese herbs.
Acupuncture treatment focuses on balancing hormones, improving blood circulation, and promoting ovulation as well as treating any underlying condition.
MOST COMMON CAUSES OF AMENORRHEA INCLUDES:
Low body weight
Too much exercise
Stress
A failure to reestablish a cycle after stopping the birth control pill
A thyroid imbalance
A side effect of medication e.g. corticosteroids
A hormone imbalance
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
Premature ovarian Failure
A Pituitary tumor
