TCM for menstrual complaints in Winterthur Töss

This page is for women in Winterthur and nearby with menstrual cramps, an irregular cycle, unusually heavy or light bleeding, breast tenderness, or premenstrual changes in mood and energy.

Suddenly very heavy bleeding, bleeding after menopause, periods that stop for several months, possible pregnancy with pain or bleeding, or new severe pelvic pain should be medically assessed.

If your main concern is trying to conceive, see fertility. For symptoms around menopause, see menopause.

The appointment begins with your cycle history, symptoms, sleep, digestion, medication, and any previous examinations. A recent cycle record can be useful but is not required. Mrs Zhang then uses pulse and tongue diagnosis to plan the session.

Depending on the discussion and findings, care may include acupuncture, moxibustion, or tuina massage. Herbal therapy is discussed separately, including any medicines or hormonal treatment you already use.

Menstrual symptoms can have different causes and may change from one cycle to the next. The approach is therefore reviewed over time and can complement gynaecological assessment or treatment. Prescribed medication should continue unless the responsible clinician advises a change.

The sleep page explains how disrupted sleep is considered when it is part of the same picture.
