Menopause

I have not had a menstrual cycle for 15 months. I thought I was done. I had my yearly pap and all was well just last month. Now at 49 I began to have a cycle. Just like I use to. I was always told that after one year of no cycles you would not have any more and if you did it meant something was wrong. What should I do?

TCM theory talks about the Chong, Ren and kidney channels rather than the pituitary gland, ovarian and estrogen levels.

TCM sees menopause as a natural progression of aging, and not as a disorder that needs correcting. This TCM pattern includes symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats with fever, irritability, palpitations, insomnia and thirst.

Acupuncture is also suitable for women in the menopausal period because of its action for yin and yang adjustment

TCM's goal is to keep the "Qi"in balance to maintain health and provide energy to balance the body.
