Acupuncture for puberty menorrhagia: Effective additional treatment discovered!
Puberty is a decisive phase in the life of a young person in which many biological and hormonal changes take place. A challenge during this time can be so -called menorrhagia, a medical term that describes excessively strong and long -lasting menstrual bleeding. These often occur because the body still learns to regulate its hormones. In a recently carried out case report, the effectiveness of acupuncture was examined with such symptoms in a 16-year-old patient.
acupuncture, a form of therapy of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), uses fine needles that are stung in certain points of the body in order to regulate and promote the energy flow. In this case, acupuncture was used as an additional treatment method to relieve the patient's menorrhagia.
After six -day acupuncture treatment, it was found that the bleeding had completely stopped. Further investigations showed that the size of the uterus and the ovaries had decreased and the thickening of the endometrium had completely declined. The patient's next menstrual cycle began on time, which indicates an improved regulation of her menstrual cycles.
Analysis of possible future developments
The promising results of this case study indicate that acupuncture could be a useful addition therapy for young women with puberty menorrhagia. This could lead to a change from previous treatment practices that traditionally follow hormonal or medical approaches. Nevertheless, it is important to support these results through further studies in order to confirm the long -term effect and safety of acupuncture in this indication.

Effectiveness of acupuncture in puberty menorrhagia
In the present study, the effectiveness of acupuncture was examined as a supplementary therapy for puberty menorrhagia, a state that is characterized by extended and excessive menstrual bleeding from the menarch up to the age of 19. The study emphasizes that this form of menorrhagia is often associated with immature hypothalamo-hypophysar-icial axis, which leads to persistently high estrogen levels and anovulation.
methodology
Treatment was carried out on the basis of the diagnosis of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The diagnosis was based on the patient's tongue and pulse diagnosis, a 16-year-old with irregular menstrual cycles and a bleeding duration of 41 days. The acupuncture points SP4 (Gongsun), PC 6 (Neiguan), KI 14 (Siman), SP 10 (XUEHAI), LR 1 (Dadun) and CV 6 (Qihai) were selected to alleviate the liver blood socket. The treatment included a session of 20 minutes over a month every day.
results
- After six days of acupuncture treatment, the bleeding stopped completely.
- After a month, ultrasound examinations showed a reduction in the uterine and ovary size as well as a complete regression of the endometrium thickening.
- The following menstruation started on time after one month.
conclusion
The results of this case study indicate that acupuncture based on a TCM diagnosis shows promising effects as a supplementary therapy for puberty menorrhagia. It can regulate the menstrual cycle by improving reproductive health. Nevertheless, further research is required to evaluate the long -term treatment effects more precisely.
