Guest guest Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 Hello everyone, I am a fairly new practitioner and need some suggestions for this case: 30yo patient with a diagnosis of PCOS and endometriosis. Her periods are irregular, extremely painful, and her bleeding is heavy and contains many clots. The pain is sl. alleviated by applying heat packs to the lower abdomen. My diagnosis is blood stagnation and cold in the uterous. However, she does have some heat symptoms such as acne breakouts on her face. Overall, she is extermely cold. As is usually the case with PCOS, her adrenals are producing too much male hormones, and her insulin levels are high. Her endocriologist wants to put her on a diabetes type med and her gynecologist wants her to take birth control pills. In the past, she took Wen Jing Tang and that helped a lot with regulating her periods and reducing the pain. My question is: are there any good formulas that can balance her hormones and reduce insulin levels as well as the production of androgens? any specific acupuncture points that you found especially helpful? I would appreciate any kind of input. thanks much, Hadas Dvir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
