🌸 Case Study: Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine for Menstrual Irregularities 🌸
Patient Profile
A female patient experienced frequent and irregular menstrual bleeding for nearly 4 months. Her cycle presented as:
Bleeding for 2 weeks → stopping for a few days → bleeding again for about 3 weeks
This on-and-off bleeding pattern continued for 4 months
Tongue diagnosis: The area corresponding to the heart was dark purple with a noticeable depression
She even drove 5 hours to reach our clinic, seeking relief after months of struggle.
TCM Assessment
The dark purple tongue indicated blood stasis, while the depression in the heart area reflected blood deficiency and poor circulation. Prolonged bleeding had weakened her qi and blood, disturbing her heart and further worsening the irregular cycles.
Treatment Approach
Dr. Tian designed a treatment plan combining acupuncture and herbal medicine:
Acupuncture: To regulate qi and blood, open the channels, and calm the mind
Herbal medicine: To invigorate blood, stop bleeding, nourish the heart, and restore balance
Outcome
After just two weeks of acupuncture and herbal medicine treatment:
The patient’s abnormal bleeding completely stopped
Her tongue showed remarkable improvement — the heart area returned to a healthy pink color and the depression disappeared
Overall energy, spirit, and complexion improved significantly
Conclusion
This case demonstrates how Traditional Chinese Medicine provides effective, holistic solutions for women’s health concerns:
✅ Stops abnormal bleeding
✅ Regulates menstruation by addressing root causes
✅ Restores balance of qi, blood, and emotional well-being
