🌸 Acupuncture Case Highlight: Menstrual Health Restoration 🌸
Presented by Dr. Yingxin (Joy) Zhao, L.Ac.

🩺 Patient Profile
An 18-year-old female presented with amenorrhea—no menstruation for over 5 years. She never established a regular cycle without birth control medications. Lab results revealed:
Progesterone (P): 0.1
Estradiol (E2): 85
DHEA: 379
LH: 21.8
FSH: 5.9
TSH/T4: Within normal limits

Her OB-GYN noted she wasn’t ovulating and recommended hormone replacement therapy, which induced bleeding but didn’t address the underlying imbalance.

🧠 Emotional & Lifestyle Factors
She reported chronic stress from work and school, recent emotional heartbreak, night sweats, and low energy. Sleep was disrupted, she often felt hot and irritable, and occasionally experienced acne. Digestion and appetite were healthy.

🌿 TCM Diagnosi
Kidney Qi Deficiency
Qi & Blood Deficiency with Stagnation

💆‍♀️ Treatment Strategy
We implemented a phased herbal and acupuncture protocol, targeting:
✅ Nourishment of Kidney Qi
✅ Enhanced Blood circulation
✅ Support for natural ovulation
✅ Regulation of the HPO (Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Ovarian) axis

Primary Acupuncture Points:
🔹 GB-21, Baliao, ZG
🔹 KI-3, 6, 7; SP-3, 6

📆 Treatment Progress & Results
After 3 months of consistent care, including 21-day nourishing and 7-day pushing herbal cycles:

✨ She had her first natural period in years, followed by two additional spontaneous cycles
✨ Periods returned with reduced cramps and increased cervical mucus

💡 Clinical Insight
