Acupuncture for Endometriosis and Fibroids

Endometriosis and Fibroids are both gynaecological conditions which are characterised by the inappropriate growth of uterine tissue within the reproductive system (ovaries, fallopian tubes, wall of the uterus). This tissue can also grow elsewhere in the body, such as around other organs, especially the bowels.

This wayward tissue growth can cause painful, heavy periods as well as damage to the reproductive (and other) organs, which, as well as being hard to tolerate with each menstrual cycle, can also impede conception.

Western medicine has no consensus for explaining the causes of Endometriosis and has no cure for either condition. Usually, treatment involves surgery or hormonal therapy. Unfortunately neither of these treatments cures the condition, and both are risky for a woman’s fertility.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) however, has been successfully understanding, treating and resolving these conditions for centuries.

In TCM terms, both Endometriosis and Fibroids are diagnosed as Stagnation of Qi and/or Blood, often accompanied by Kidney Qi Deficiency and possibly other pathologies.

Once the blood has been sufficiently invigorated by both acupuncture and herbs, and the Kidney energies have been strengthened, the symptoms will usually resolve completely.

This means that heavy, painful, dark and clotty periods, together with PMT symptoms will become a thing of the past. Most importantly for those seeking to become pregnant, conception can occur.
