PMDD- Premenstrual dysphoric disorder is thought to negatively affected 3-6% of women. It is brutal to go through for both the woman and her family, co-workers and friends. The symptoms include: bloating, uncontrollable cravings, swelling, pain, severe bleeding and emotional out-bursts including anger, frustration and crying. Even though PMDD medically isn't directly linked to infertility, from a Chinese Medical Perspective it is related. Any hormonal imbalance that impacts the reproductive function negatively can affect a woman's ability to conceive and or carry a baby to full term. Typically this pattern of disharmony is the Liver overacting on the Spleen causing both physical and emotional trauma for the patients.
What most people don't know is that acupuncture and herbal medicine, when appropriately prescribed, is a viable treatment for PMDD. Acupuncture is unable to separate the body from the mind when treating the patient therefore it addresses both the physical (bloating, pain, heavy bleeding) and the emotional turmoil (anger, frustration, crying, mood swings).
I have been treating PMDD successfully for over a decade. If you know of someone who suffering every month be sure to educate them about their natural options so they can avoid taking unnecessary drugs or worse- getting a hysterectomy.
