There is a saying in Japanese culture,
that if the spirit of the unborn child is strong and vibrant,
you will be able to boil a kettle over the navel of the mother's belly

Gynaecology (male and female)

 

GynaecologyAs we have stated, gynaecology is one of the most understood aspects of Chinese medicine. This is principally because the menses gives us a great deal of information about how the body is behaving, on a regular basis!

Jani treats all manner of gynae issues, from first period to last, from menarche to menopause. Understanding women's bodies can be an intuitive process, and defining how a body is behaving according to test results can sometimes miss a significant part of the picture. We are subtle beings and the interplay between our emotions and our hormonal balance can be a fine balance indeed; one that can be all too easily tipped.

Modern life also takes its toll on how our bodies behave. It is impossible to underestimate the effect of the additives in our diet, particularly the hormonal influences in animal products. That, combined with the stresses and strains of our busy scheduled lives, can have a strong influence on our hormone balance and hence impact on our gynaecological health.

Acupuncture for gynaecology is effective treatment for many conditions:
  • PMT, name your symptom(s)! acupuncture can help
  • irregular periods
  • ammenorrhoea (absence of periods)
  • dysmenorrhoea (painful periods)
  • menorrhagia (excessive menstrual bleeding)
  • oligomenorrhoea (scanty bleeding)
  • dysfunctional uterine bleeding (mid-cycle bleeding)
  • endometriosis
  • ovarian cysts
  • PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome)
  • fibroids
  • vulvodynia
  • vestibulitis
  • pelvic pain
  • pelvic inflammatory disease
  • headache
  • backache
  • fatigue
  • thrush
  • cystitis
  • urinary incontinence

  • Acupuncture for menopause is helpful for:
  • hot flushes
  • night sweats
  • irritability
  • insomnia
  • vaginal dryness
  • mood swings
  • depression
  • headaches
  • treating symptoms due to tamoxifen treatment

  • Menopause is a right of passage that can have a very strong impact on how a woman is feeling about herself and her life. Jani has a healthy respect for how important it is to move forward into this new phase of life with the strongest sense of self confidence possible. The symptoms and emotional swings at this time can be tremendously distracting and have an unhealthy over-ride in a woman's life. We strongly advocate the balancing power of acupuncture treatment at this special time.


    Male gynae issues that acupuncture treatment is effective for include:
  • male sub fertility
  • erectile dysfunction
  • chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS) [previously referred to as chronic prostatitis]
  • inflammation of the prostate
  • urinary incontinence
  • prostate cancer
  •  

    The skills for treating gynae issues with acupuncture are the same for both men and women. It is the specialist understanding of the points which affect these vital functions that bring us to this work. Jani does understand that some men may find that they are not particularly comfortable about seeing a female practitioner. We are very happy to recommend you to our male colleagues who have special interest in this field.
