Men’s health

Supporting male hormonal health is an area where acupuncture excels:

  • Pre-conception fertility support to boost sperm quality and mobility

  • Prostate and urinary health: acupuncture can help manage symptoms of prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

  • Sexual health and erectile dysfunction (ED)

Women’s hormonal health

Chinese medicine acupuncture is commonly used at each of main hormonal transitions throughout a woman’s lifespan. In my clinic I regularly treat women with the following;

  • Period irregularities including; amenorrhoea (lack of periods), dysmenorrhoea (painful periods) menorrhagia (heavy periods), pre-menstrual syndrome, endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

  • Fertility support, and assisted fertility alongside IVF.

  • Pregnancy side effects during all three trimesters.

  • Habitual miscarriage, inevitable miscarriage.

  • Preparation for labour, including with your midwife’s approval turning breech babies at 34 – 37 weeks.

  • Peri and menopause symptoms, hot flushes, poor sleep, uterine prolapse.
