WOMEN’S HEALTH THROUGH LIFE’S CHANGES
Individual care shaped around your concerns.
Women’s health concerns can change across the menstrual cycle and through different stages of life. Physician Koh begins with your history and current stage of life, then explains whether a TCM approach is suitable for you.
Your consultation includes time for questions, an explanation of suitable options and agreed review points.
Begin with a careful review of your symptoms, menstrual or reproductive history where relevant, lifestyle, medication and any investigations already completed.
Understanding Your Concerns
Cycle patterns, sleep, stress, digestion, energy and changing life stages are considered together rather than in isolation.
Reviewing Your Health History
Where appropriate, acupuncture, Chinese medicine or practical lifestyle guidance is selected according to your individual assessment.
Personalised TCM Care
Recommendations are considered alongside screening, medication and advice provided by your doctor or specialist.
Coordinating Your Care
Your symptoms, priorities and any changes in medical care are reviewed before the plan is adjusted.
Reviewing Progress
WOMEN’S HEALTH CONCERNS
Menstrual health, intimate wellbeing and menopause.
Menstrual pain (period cramps)
Menstrual pain can include lower abdominal cramps or backache around your period. Persistent or severe period pain may be associated with conditions such as endometriosis and should be assessed by a doctor. Your consultation explores the discomfort, its impact on daily life and any existing diagnosis or treatment. Bring a record of pain, bleeding and medicines used so any TCM care can take your medical care into account.
Irregular menses (irregular periods)
Cycles that come earlier or later than expected, vary from month to month or are missed can be discussed at your consultation. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one possible cause of irregular menses, but irregular periods alone do not confirm a diagnosis. Physician Koh reviews your cycle history, lifestyle, medication, reproductive plans and existing investigations, with medical assessment where needed. If pregnancy is possible, take a pregnancy test and share the result.
Irregular menstrual bleeding
Spotting between periods, prolonged bleeding or a change in menstrual flow deserves a careful review. Record the dates, amount of bleeding and accompanying symptoms. Bleeding between periods, after sex or after menopause needs medical assessment to identify the cause; this can be coordinated with your TCM consultation.
Recurrent yeast infections (vaginal thrush)
Repeated vaginal itching, soreness or changes in discharge can affect comfort and confidence. A women’s health consultation provides space to discuss the pattern, previous tests, treatments and broader wellbeing. Recurring symptoms need clinical examination and testing because other conditions can resemble thrush. Any TCM care is planned with confirmed findings and prescribed treatment in mind.
PMS symptoms (premenstrual syndrome)
PMS may involve bloating, breast tenderness, headaches, irritability or mood changes before a period. Tracking symptoms across your cycle helps clarify their timing and impact. Your consultation considers these concerns together with sleep, stress and daily routines to discuss an individual care plan.
Perimenopause and menopause
The transition towards menopause may bring changing periods, hot flushes, night sweats, disrupted sleep or vaginal dryness. Discuss the symptoms that matter most to you, your health history and any current treatment with Physician Koh. TCM care is considered according to your individual assessment and preferences. Any bleeding after menopause should be checked by a doctor.
When to seek urgent care: Very heavy bleeding with dizziness or fainting, severe sudden pelvic pain, or pain and bleeding when pregnancy is possible require urgent medical assessment.
