Women's health, pregnancy, labour and post-partum

If you've always believed that period cramps, irregular or painful periods are all quite normal, forget it. Pre-Menstrual Syndrome (PMS), breakthrough bleeding and headaches associated with your period don't have to be something you've got to suffer in silence, either.

Taking medication to simply ease the pain and discomfort doesn't get to the real cause of the problem.

However, acupuncture is a natural, drug-free, effective way of restoring mental, physical and emotional balance.

If you're experiencing any kind of gynaecological problem, acupuncture can be effectively used to treat the following conditions:

• Heavy periods
• Painful periods
• Irregular periods
• Absence of periods
• Uterine bleeding (mid-cycle)
• Pre-Menstrual Syndrome (PMS)
• Endometriosis
• Pelvic Inflammatory Diseases (PID)
• Vaginal discharge or itching
• Menopausal symptoms such as hot flushes, nervousness, anxiety, palpitations, sleeping problems.

Acupuncture can also effectively treat the following women related conditions:

• Infertility (difficulty in conception)
• Pre-conception care and labour preparation
• IVF support
• Morning sickness (nausea and vomiting)
• Urinary dysfunction (frequent or difficult urination)
• Foetal malposition (breech/posterior/transverse)
• Labour Induction
• Pain relief during labour
• Slow, prolonged or difficult labour
• Retained placenta
• Post-partum recuperation (after delivery care)
• Insufficient Lactation (not enough milk)
• Mastitis

In order to provide correct treatment for your particular gynaecological or obstetric problem, you will be asked to give a complete case history so that we can make an accurate assessment and diagnosis and then specifically devise your individual treatment.
