I enjoy treating women with PMS and other menstrual symptoms because both acupuncture and dietary modification can eradicate a large majority of the symptoms. Most gynecological issues issues lend itself well to Chinese Medicine which includes acupuncture, herbal medicine and nutrition modification. Now a German study was just released showing that acupuncture can relieve menstrual pain. The authors commented: “Patients with pain due to dysmenorrhea chronic treated with acupuncture in addition to routine care showed significant improvements in pain intensity and quality of life compared to patients who received routine care alone…In conclusion, our study shows that acupuncture, in addition to routine care, resulted in a clinically relevant benefit and was cost effective in patients with dysmenorrhea in primary care practices in Germany. As a result, acupuncture should be considered as a viable option in the management of these patients.
