TCM Gynaecology
Menstrual Health · Dysmenorrhoea · Fertility · PCOS
TCM gynaecology focuses on warming the uterus and harmonising qi and blood to support natural menstrual rhythm and reproductive wellbeing. Results vary by individual.
Scope of Care
Gynaecology Services
Irregular cycles (early, late or unpredictable), heavy or scanty flow — chong-ren and kidney-spleen regulating herbs may help restore rhythm. Typically 2–3 months of care to observe changes; results vary.
Abdominal pain, backache and breast tenderness before or during menses — TCM differentiates cold congelation, qi stagnation or blood stasis. Warming and blood-moving herbs with acupuncture may help ease discomfort.
Kidney-tonifying and chong-ren regulating herbs may support ovarian function and endometrial quality. Can be used as supportive care alongside IVF and other Western fertility treatments. Pre-conception care is often recommended for at least 3 months. Fertility TCM support →
Polycystic ovary syndrome is often linked to phlegm-dampness and kidney deficiency. Spleen-strengthening, phlegm-resolving and kidney-regulating herbs with dietary guidance and acupuncture may help support ovulation.
Hot flushes, night sweats, mood changes and bone health concerns — yin-nourishing and kidney-liver supporting herbs may help balance yin and yang during the menopausal transition.
Confinement support, lochia issues, insufficient lactation, postpartum low mood and back pain — qi and blood tonifying, spleen-kidney warming herbs may help postpartum recovery.
TCM Perspective
The Core of Gynaecological Health in TCM
Women are rooted in blood and animated by qi. When qi and blood are abundant and chong-ren are harmonised, menses flow normally; when not, many disorders may arise. TCM gynaecology centres on harmonising qi and blood and warming the uterus.
Cycle-Based Herbal Therapy
Formulas are adjusted across menstrual phases (follicular, ovulatory, luteal, menstruation) to align with physiological rhythm for more targeted support.
Acupuncture for Menstrual Health
Points such as Guanyuan, Sanyinjiao and Xuehai may help pelvic circulation and endocrine balance.
Lifestyle Guidance
Dietary advice, warmth and emotional management complement treatment. Pre- and post-menstrual dietary adjustments can significantly influence gynaecological patterns.
