CASE STUDY : Amenorrhoea (No Menses)

Introduction

Amenorrhoea (uh-men-o-REE-uh) is the absence of menstruation, often defined as missing one or more menstrual periods.

Presentation

My 27 year old client had not menstruated for 24 months.

Treatment

I recommended she get 12 weekly treatments of regular acupuncture to help regulate her cycle. I prescribed Chinese Herbs to boost and move the blood. Within 6 weeks, she had a 5-day bleed. Her period returned again 28 days later. She reported feelings of elation. She’s still taking herbs and attending fortnightly acupuncture treatments.
