Female Reproductive System: Menstruation

Female Reproductive System: Menstruation

Comprehensive - Informative - Life-changing

Imagine the relief of every woman experiencing an easeful menstrual cycle.
"The kidneys are associated with the reproductive system in Chinese medicine and very often we see this connection, which we will mention in our class. However, this subject will also be taken up on female and male reproduction and endocrine classes. The adrenals, sitting atop the kidneys, will not be described here in detail--see the endocrine class." - Matthew Wood

Relief, period.

Beginning with menarche, but not including menopause, we cover the vast subject of the monthly period, including issues of ovulation, PMS, PCOS, the period, pains and cramps, short and long cycles, blood loss, anemia, endometriosis, and ovarian cysts, and differential symptoms based on the type, quantity, and time of bleeding.

"In the female reproductive system, the bladder, vagina, and uterus are tied together by location and influence of function. The uterus sits atop the bladder and the vagina sits next to it. Oftentimes, the health of the bladder and the health of the vagina become interconnected as they are both mucous membrane tissues. This is especially true in the area of bacterial infection of the bladder." - Phyllis D. Light
