Endometriosis
When period pain affects everyday life.
Endometriosis involves tissue similar to the uterine lining growing outside the uterus. It can cause painful periods, pelvic discomfort, and fertility concerns.
Learn about symptoms, possible causes, medical treatment, and how acupuncture may help manage menstrual pain.
PCOS
Understanding your cycle and metabolic health.
Polycystic ovary syndrome, or PCOS, can affect ovulation, menstrual patterns, skin, and metabolic health. Symptoms vary, and care should reflect your individual concerns and goals.
Explore how PCOS is understood, why medical follow-up matters, and the potential role and limitations of acupuncture.
PMS & PMDD
Making sense of recurring premenstrual changes.
Physical discomfort and mood changes before your period can affect work, relationships, and daily routines. PMDD involves particularly severe symptoms that deserve appropriate medical attention.
Learn about the differences between PMS and PMDD, symptom tracking, and options for medical and complementary care.
Irregular or Absent Periods
Understanding a change in your cycle.
Periods may become unpredictable or stop for several reasons, including pregnancy, PCOS, thyroid conditions, changes in energy intake, or perimenopause.
Explore possible explanations, when to seek medical guidance, and how acupuncture may fit alongside care for the underlying cause.

Perimenopause & Menopause

Not Sure Where to Start?
Symptoms can overlap, and reading about a condition does not confirm a diagnosis. Start with the concern that affects you most, and bring your questions to your healthcare provider.
Understanding your symptoms can help you describe your experience and take part in decisions about your care.
