Gynecology

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes that the female body goes through a major energy transformation every seven years. E.g. 7x2=14 years old is when menstrual flow begins. 7x4=28 years old is a physical peak for the female body. 7x5= 35 years old is where aging process starts to show. 7x7= 49 years old is when menopause sets in. Obviously, these numbers are averages. Genetic variations, level of exposure to environmental hormones, life style all add or subtract years to these so called norms.

Through many Millenia of observation, TCM has gained an in-depth understanding of the female body and what is considered to be “healthy.” It also has an extensive amount of experience in healing the female body so it may perform at its optimal level. You will gain access to this wealth of knowledge and knowhow when you come visit my clinic. Let’s heal!

  • Scientific research confirms that combining acupuncture with IVF helps to increase the success by 50%. In my practice, by using acupuncture and herbal therapy, it goes beyond IVF. These include:

    • IVF

    • IUI

    • Recurring miscarriage

    • Egg freezing

  • Planned and wanted pregnancy is truly a blessing for any family. But that 10 month long gestation period and birthing process is nothing short of a miracle. We want everything to go smoothly, but that’s not always the case. Acupuncture and herbal medicine could help with:

    • Severe morning sickness (1st Trimester)

    • signs of miscarriage (1st Trimester)

    • Blood pressure and skin issues during pregnancy

    • Pain during pregnancy (3rd Trimester)

    • Breech baby

    • Labor Induction (past due date)

    • Postpartum Issues such as night sweats, swelling and joint pain.

  • Unfortunately, many women believe that painful cramps is somewhat normal just before or during menstruation. When all the energies are in a harmonious balance and flow properly, there should be no pain involved during menstruation. Acupuncture, moxibustion and herbal medicine could help you with:

    • Irregular cycles (plus or minus from the 28-day cycle)

    • Prolonged & heavy flow

    • Cramping and pain (severe enough to take medicine such as Midol)

    • Bloating, diarrhea, constipation that only comes up during menstrual flow

    • Mood swings & irritability

    • Edema (swelling around the body)

    • Perimenopause & Menopausal symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats, dryness)

  • Excess and stagnation could sum up abnormal growth in the body such as fibroids and polyps. Our problems don’t come from eating not enough, in fact it’s opposite. All of our problem com from eating and drink in excess, especially processed, refined sugar and vegetable oils.

    Stagnation is the slowing down of blood and Qi flow in the body. Naturally, aging will slow things down. But sedentary lifestyle and “COLD” would lead to stagnation in the body.

    What do I mean by “COLD”? It’s drinking of cold, iced beverages everyday. It’s too much air-conditioning air blasting during summer. It’s walking around with your wet. It’s cropped tank tops that expose the abdominal area to cold air. It’s sandals and flip-flops that expose the feet to the cold elements.

    If your Chinese mother nagged you with these things in the past, well, I hate to say it, but she was right. If you don’t have a Chinese mom, then I could be your Chinese mom when you come to my clinic.
