Hormonal Changes and Aging

Menopause is an important, natural, and unavoidable moment in a woman’s life. It marks the end of the fertility period with the cessation of estrogen production by the ovaries. Some women experience it without difficulty, but for others, various bothersome symptoms, which vary in intensity and diversity from one woman to another, occur. These symptoms can persist for several months to several years.

• Irregular menstrual cycles
• Hot flashes
• Night sweats
• Dryness of the mucous membranes
• Uterine prolapse
• Sleep disturbances
• Fibroids
• Decreased libido
• Weight gain
• Mood swings
• Loss of bone mass
• Urinary incontinence

Acupuncture is particularly effective in naturally addressing menopausal symptoms. Women can rely on acupuncture to help manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life during this period. Their quality of life is quickly enhanced as a result. Do not delay in seeking treatment at the onset of symptoms in order to ease the hormonal transition, reduce the accumulation of symptoms, and reduce the number of sessions needed to regain well-being. The acupuncturist can also advise you on certain aspects of your lifestyle, such as diet, alcohol consumption, sedentary behavior, which can impact menopause. Know that acupuncture treatments can be received even if you are on hormone replacement therapy without any harm to your health.
