There are two treatment methods in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) clinic: one is internal method(like taking decoctions), and the other one is external method(including acupuncture and traumatology). These two types can be used for one illness at the same time or not. Many women came for TCM clinic for treating dysmenorrhea by taking medicine. Due to afraid of the toxicity from TCM or western medicine drugs, some patients might choose trying acupuncture for gynecological diseases. In this case, we take dysmenorrhea as an example to demonstrate how TCM acupuncture in work. In this case, a 38-year-old woman who complained about ache feelings during menstrual period for a long time. She took medicine for months but in vain. After medical history taking, physical examination and conducting other diagnosis on her, we used acupuncture with Tung's extraordinary points, and plus BL23, BL25, BL32, CV4, CV9, GB34, KI3, LR3, SP3, SP10 for releasing her pain. After acupuncture for several times, she showed a good final outcome, which is no more complication appeared after the follow-up treatment. Using acupuncture only for treating dysmenorrhea is an alternative way for clinical use. |
