针刺减肥与月经关系的探讨

Analysis on the Interrelation Between Acupuncture-induced Weight Reduction and Menstruation

针刺减肥对月经会产生怎样的影响是不可忽视的问题,本文通过分析针刺对神经内分泌系统的作用及临床研究资料,证明了针刺减肥和月经有较密切的关系。针刺在通过对瘦素、甲状腺系统及下丘脑-垂体-肾上腺皮质轴作用而达减肥效果同时,也通过以上系统对月经的影响而对月经起良性调整作用。临床的常用减肥穴位也提示对月经有良性调整作用。

The effect of acupunciure induced weight reduction on menstrual activity is definitely not a negligible issue. By analyzing the existing materials about the mutual influence of neuroendocrine system and clinical trails, it is known that there exists a close interrelation between acupuncture-induced weight reduction and menstruation. Acupuncture treatment can achieve the effects of weight reduction and menstrual improvement via regulating activities of leptin, thyroid gland system and hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal cortex axis. Clinical practice has demonstrated that acupuncture stimulation of some commonly-used acupoints for weight reduction also has a favorable regulation on menstrual activity in obesity women.
