Women’s Health

I came to Raleigh Acupuncture in desperation.  My GYN told me I had three large fibroids in my uterus and abdomen. I knew there was something wrong because I was having abdominal pain all the time and always looked and felt bloated.  She said that because of their size they would have to be surgically removed.  I did not want surgery and also did not want the risk of needing a hysterectomy. I looked into medical options and read about acupuncture.  My cousin had been to Raleigh Acupuncture and recommended them.  So I tried it.  All I can say is that the fibroids have now shrunk to the point where there is no longer discomfort and my GYN says there is no need to remove them surgically.  It’s a bit of a mystery to me how they did it, but my acupuncture doctor says they treat this quite frequently with a high rate of success.  Moving forward I will have my GYN keep track of any fibroids.  If they return or new ones develop I will get them treated with acupuncture.  I highly recommend this practice for the treatment of fibroids.  I feel very lucky that I sought out this option before getting surgery.

I had gone to Raleigh Acupuncture for fertility treatments and was successful getting pregnant.  So when I passed my due date for delivery I called them to induce labor.  It was pretty amazing.  I went in, got treated, and just as the treatment ended the contractions really kicked in.  We went right to the hospital and I delivered my baby that night.  I really trust Raleigh Acupuncture and will continue to go there for my health care needs.  They are, in effect, my primary care physicians.  They truly take care of me and my family.

At 45 I started going through menopause. My periods became irregular for the first time in my life, with much more heavy bleeding and painful cramping.  I started getting hot flashes and night sweats, was more irritable, and generally did not feel well.  I read how acupuncture could treat menopausal syndrome (which I seemed to fit to the tee) and looked around for a practitioner.  Raleigh Acupuncture seemed to have a lot of experience in this area so I gave them a try.  They treated me for three months and dramatically reduced my symptoms.  They used the acupuncture and chinese herbs.  I am amazed at how good I feel, even better than before this trouble started in the first place.  I never would have thought that acupuncture could make such positive changes in my health.
