Acupuncture and menopause
Menopause is a natural process during which oestrogen levels decline and periods stop. It usually occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, but for some women it can come much earlier. Periods can stop suddenly, or become erratic over months, or years.
Symptoms relating to menopause can vary in intensity, but typically women notice:
- Hot flushes and generally feeling hotter
- Mood swings
- Sleep disturbance and night sweats
- Forgetfulness
- Loss of libido
For many women menopause brings significant physical and psychological discomfort. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is the primary medical solution for menopausal symptoms, but for some people the risks associated with HRT outweigh the benefits.
Can acupuncture for menopause help reduce symptoms?
Research suggests that acupuncture can be particularly effective for the alleviation of hot sweats, mood swings, sleep problems and anxiety. Just as menopause affects different women in different ways at different times, so acupuncture treatment adapts to you and your symptoms. It can help with both physical and emotional difficulties and is known to balance hormones.
At your first acupuncture session your acupuncturist will discuss how the menopause is affecting you personally. Based on this information she will build a treatment programme for you using a combination of acupuncture and Chinese dietary advice.
