i have been tested for things and the only diagnosis i have is dysfunctional menstrual bleeding. (i am also having problems getting pregnant because i dont ovulate)

will acupuncture and chinese medicine help me? what do you recommend and what should i do or what steps should i take??

Answer
Hey Tasheena,

Your issue falls under Flooding and Trickling.

The five major casues are blood heat,qi def,blood stasis,kidney def,blood empty heat.
I would def. look up an acupuncturist in your area, acupuncture and herbs are very adept at this sort of problem. You should be able to stop bleeding at least in 10 days, but probably much sooner.

I'm sorry it took so long to answer this question, I was sure I already had answered it.

Take care, and  let me know if you need any further assistance.
