The Goal
To begin discussing how we treat irregular periods, let’s briefly describe an ideal menstrual period. The ideal is not something most women have, but it gives us a basis for comparison. A healthy period should come every 26 to 34 days, last about five days, have 1 to 2 heavy flow days followed by three lighter days.
The blood should be bright fire engine red on the heavy days. There might be some cramping leading up to the period through day 1, but it should not be severe cramping. Similarly, there could be some PMS symptoms like irritability, food cravings, and bloating, but they should be mild, not harsh.
The Reality
Now let’s compare that to what most women who have irregular periods deal with each month. Periods might come anywhere from 20 to 45 days. Bleeding may last 7 to 10 days, with a heavy flow for more than two days. There may be severe cramping before and during the period, with dark maroon or purple-colored blood and many clots.
PMS may be severe, with irritability, uncomfortable bloating, cramping and breast tenderness, moodiness, depression, and migraines. However, some periods are too light with hardly any bleeding or no bleeding.
Acupuncture Regulates Menstrual Cycles
The Raleigh Acupuncture irregular period treatment works to bring your cycle closer to the ideal. It does so by finding and correcting the imbalances in your body.
Your symptoms give us the clues we need to identify the problems. We then create a treatment plan to correct them. The changes are miraculous and fun to watch. With each cycle, you will see more and more changes and improvements, bringing you closer to the ideal.
What To Expect
The benefits from the Raleigh Acupuncture irregular periods treatment are profound. First, you will be more comfortable each month. Second, if you are thinking about getting pregnant in the future, having a regular period is the single best way to assure success!
Recent Irregular Periods Case
Last year we treated a woman trying to get pregnant for the past three years. She had been diagnosed with “unexplained infertility,” and her doctor referred her to a fertility clinic. However, she wanted to get pregnant naturally and sought out acupuncture after reading about it online.
Her cycle was irregular, and we explained that the best way to improve fertility was to regulate her menstrual period. At the outset of her treatments, her cycle was 22 days long, and she had spotting for five days leading up to her period, a clear indication of Spleen Qi deficiency. Her period was typically three days with no heavy flow, a sign of blood deficiency.
After receiving acupuncture for three months, her cycle lengthened to 25 days with no spotting beforehand, and her period lasted four days with one heavy flow day. Both of these improvements reflected improved Qi and blood levels. Two months later, she got pregnant, and nine months afterward delivered a healthy baby girl.

What our Clients are Saying
I love Raleigh Acupuncture! I went for infertility. I was a mess. My period came every two weeks and was really uncomfortable. I was anemic and the iron supplements were giving me terrible constipation. I also had PCOS. I didn’t even know if I was ovulating. The treatments totally fixed my cycle. After four months I was getting my period every four weeks and my anemia was gone. They taught me how to know when I was ovulating and the “best time” to get pregnant. It worked. I’m three months pregnant right now and very happy. They totally changed my life. Thank you Raleigh Acupuncture!!
Was having alot of trouble getting pregnant. My internet research showed that having an irregular period could be at least partially responsible for my troubles. Found Raleigh Acupuncture through a friend and got treated. After that my period started coming every 30 days — and five months later I got pregnant! I’m convinced acupuncture made the difference. I’m telling everyone who’s having trouble getting pregnant to try acupuncture. What a gift.
I’ve always been irregular with my cycle and it didn’t bother me much. But I got married last year and was starting to think about having a family. I knew that it would be more difficult to get pregnant with my cycle coming at all different times. So I went to Raleigh Acupuncture. They told me it usually took three months to regulate a cycle, and that’s exactly how long it took me. I’m like clockwork now and grateful for it. At the same time my periods are less uncomfortable. I feel relieved that when we start trying to get pregnant I’ll be in a much better place.
I’ve been going to Raleigh Acupuncture for 4+ years. I first went to them because I was having problems with my monthly period lasting two weeks or more, hot flashes that were extreme, and all over pain from fibromyalgia, which is a chronic pain condition. I was in a state of depression and despair, unable to work, or do things I love to do, like working in my yard. On a good day, I could perform simple household chores, perhaps a little yoga, and that was all. My first few visits brought relief from hot flashes, terrible neck pain, and wrap-around pain in my ribs that restricted my ability to breathe comfortably. I felt this was a miracle as I had suffered for many years, and had no idea it was so easily remedied. This miraculous ride continued as I took Chinese herbs for aiding my menopausal symptoms, sinus problems, anxiety, and general pain. As time went on I began to depend on Raleigh Acupuncture for psychological strengthening as well. Nowhere else have I found anyone that really listens to what I have to say without thinking I was crazy. Today, as I sit and reflect, I am about to graduate from an intense two year program for Landscape Architecture Technology. I took a huge leap when I signed up for full-time classes when I was 50 years old. I have enjoyed great success, making one B in 64 credit hours, the rest were A’s! In February of 2011, I was in a car accident where I was sandwiched between a van and a school bus. I was able to continue school and finish the semester, I believe because of my acupuncture treatments. I contribute most of my academic success, emotional well-being, and diminished pain to Raleigh Acupuncture.
