Chinese Herbs To Treat Acne
I have just read an article on PCOS and I am confused. Can you provide me some advise?
To summarise…
I am having irregular periods since the age of 14 (I am 23 now). I have seen various doctors and was told that it’s normal for a girl to have irregular periods. Well, I have none at all now. I have facial hair growth, acne and I weigh approx 110kg. I just read an article on Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and am really worried.
I have been with different GPs and they are not helpful at all. I am currently taking tablets for acne. I am also having Chinese herbs and Acupuncture to regulate my periods [I am on the Chinese treatment since October 2006, and don't see any changes]. I have tried different methods to lose my weight, but no success.
From the little research I have done, I think I have PCOS.
Is it advisable to continue with the Acupuncture? Is it possible to treat irregular (or none) periods with Chinese medicines? OR Should I consult a different doctor?
Thank you.
It may well be that you have PCOS but the fact is that your periods have never been regular. I’m a homoeopath & treat a lot of women with period problems. I’ve met many who have tried Chinese herbs & never met one who had anything good to say about them – I suppose that’s why they were trying something else. So far this year already, I’ve treated 2 PCOS patients who wanted to become pregnant & found out yesterday that they have both had positive pregnancy tests!! This is beautiful proof of the power of homoeopathy. You don’t need a conventional diagnosis to consult a homoeopath – just yourself & your symptoms. Please consider going to see one but please go to a registered practitioner – you’ll find a local one on the Society of Homeopaths website. Good luck – you’ll be fine.
