- For this reason, more and more doctors are encouraged to use this method to relieve the symptoms caused by menstruation. However, experts aim to use it as a preventative therapy. Although it may be more effective than many medications or natural remedies, pain can be considerably reduced, but in many cases, if the results are not visible after five sessions, another way is recommended to end them.

- When to start a session? Before the pain appears and between one or two a week for three or four months so that the results are noticeable for a while. On the other hand, if the pain reappears after that time, maintenance sessions would be needed.
- This traditional Chinese method can be the solution to your problems, but remember that you must combine it with a good lifestyle. Taking care of the diet or stress can relieve pain and make the therapeutic results that this therapy entails more effective.
