According to statistics, about 87.5% of women experience menopausal symptoms during menopause, such as hot flashes, sweating, and palpitations. Although many women suffer from menopause, many do not know how to choose a reasonable treatment. How to treat menopausal syndrome has become the most important issue of concern. At present, sex hormone therapy, such as estrogen replacement therapy, is more commonly used at home and abroad. However, the application of estrogen must have practical needs and indications, and long-term application also requires monitoring of liver and kidney function. In fact, Chinese medicine has unique advantages in the understanding and treatment of such diseases, especially acupuncture. Chinese medicine refers to these conditions as ‘pre- and post-menopausal symptoms’ and believes that their onset is mostly due to deficiency of kidney energy. As early as November 1996, at a meeting of the World Health Organization in Milan, Italy, 64 indications for acupuncture were proposed and announced, among which depression, insomnia, headache and women’s menstrual disorders were clearly included. “Clinical practice has proven that acupuncture has a better effect on improving the overall or local symptoms of menopausal syndrome.” Experts say that as early as the Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine, there is a classic description of human growth and development: starting from the age of seven, women undergo certain physiological changes in leaps and bounds every seven years. When a woman reaches the age of 7, she will have “a deficiency in the Ren pulse, a decline in the Taichong pulse, a depletion of the Tianjue, and a failure of the Earth’s channels”. In layman’s terms, this means that estrogen levels decline, menopause slowly begins, and many signs of aging appear, all of which are characteristics of menopause. Modern clinical and experimental studies have proven that acupuncture can produce therapeutic effects by regulating the body’s internal environment and autonomic functions, exerting the body’s self-regulatory effects, and its pathways of action involve multiple targets in multiple systems such as neurology, endocrinology and immunity.” The expert further added that the biggest advantage of acupuncture for menopausal syndrome is that it can be applied according to the different physical conditions of each person. For example, some women with Yin deficiency are prone to hyperactivity of Liver-Yang and deficiency of Heart-Blood during menopause, with clinical manifestations such as menstrual disorders, dizziness, irritability, hot flashes and night sweats, insomnia and dreaminess, etc.; while some women with Yang deficiency and lack of warmth of Kidney-Yang often suffer from Spleen-Yang deficiency and Phlegm-Qi stagnation, with clinical symptoms such as distention and fullness of the abdomen, loose stools, belching and acid swallowing, and weakness. The acupoints and acupuncture methods used in the treatment of menopausal syndromes are also different, so that we can truly “see the person and prescribe the medicine”. There are many acupuncture points used in the treatment of menopausal syndrome, including Baihui, Yin Tang, Tongli, Shenmen, Qihai, Guan Yuan, Sanyinjiao and Tai Xi. The acupuncture points are usually applied once a day or every other day. In addition, the acupuncturist usually gives the patient other therapies as appropriate, such as auricular pressure pills, moxibustion, cupping, acupuncture injections, etc., which are usually effective in 1-2 weeks.
