Menstrual disorders are disruptive and can have a major impact on the quality of life, physically as well as emotionally. There is a list of menstrual disorders, for example Dysmenorrhea, Menorrhagia, Premenstrual Dysphonic Disorder (PMDD), Endometriosis, PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome) and Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID). Symptoms are not limited to heavy bleeding, missed periods, back pain, leg pain, abdominal pain/cramps, nausea and vomiting, headaches, irritability and mood swings can occur before and/or during menstruation. Where painful, irregular or heavy periods exist, it is important to address hormonal fluctuation when they are at their most responsive, e.g. on the first day (or as close) to ovulation and the first day (or as close to) menstruation. Treatments are performed on the feet and lower legs and take around 60 minutes. The first treatment includes an initial consultation and can take up to 80 minutes, as we will be discussing personal information regarding lifestyle, diet and nutrition, exercise and activities, stress and anxiety, and emotional aspects and previous medical history. If Endometriosis, PCOS or Pelvic Inflammatory Disease is suspected a test by a medical specialist should be taken to confirm this.
