Menstrual Difficulties
Women with menstrual pain might get some relief by applying pressure to an acupuncture point known as spleen 6. The most common gynecological health problem, menstrual pain not related to other pelvic problems affects an estimated 60 to 93% of adolescent girls. Pain in the lower abdomen begins during or just before menses and usually lasts 48 hours or less. Menstrual pain can be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, back pain, dizziness, diarrhea, headaches, and fatigue, and frequently causes anxiety. Typical treatment recommendations include bed rest, exercise, applications of heat on the back, and the use of analgesic medications. Stimulation of sp6 through acupuncture and acupressure has been used to treat pelvic pain in women such as during childbirth and menses.
