Women’s Health Issues

Compared to conventional Western medicine, Eastern medicine shines at treating and resolving a broad range of female health problems. Although differing physical and emotional symptoms can present themselves—at Thumos Health Center our professional practitioners successfully use acupuncture, herbs and nutrition-lifestyle recommendations to make often dramatic improvements in women’s quality of life. You need not suffer any longer.

HORMONAL IMBALANCES & PMS/PERIMENOPAUSE/MENOPAUSE. Hormones have a significant impact on a woman’s health, and few things wreak more havoc physically and emotionally than hormonal imbalance. Whether you’re looking at PMS, perimenopause or menopause issues, or even if you’re not quite certain what you’re dealing with—please know that acupuncture and holistic medicine (including the use of supplements and herbs) can safely bring you back to a healthier, more relaxed you.

ENDOMETRIOSIS. Inflammation, scar tissue, and adhesions in the woman’s pelvis region can essentially block the egg’s path along the fallopian tube. It’s more common in women ages 25 to 40 and a leading cause of pelvic pain. Thankfully, many cases of endometriosis are successfully treated and even healed using acupuncture and herbs.

PCOS (POLYCYSTIC OVARIAN SYNDROME). This is the most common cause of infertility and a complex condition that impacts the ovaries. It’s estimated that PCOS affects about 75 percent of women with ovulation difficulties. Symptoms may include infrequent periods, increased facial and body hair, acne, and weight gain. At the Thumos Health Center we offer a highly effective yet gentle approach to combating PCOS.
