I am a 49 year old
female and have hot flashes. I do not want to take any hormones. Do you think
acupuncture can help me?
Acupuncture is one
treatment that is still searching for a medical disorder it can treat. The
evidence for acupuncture for treatment of many medical disorder is conflicting.
For hot flashes and menopausal symptoms, the evidence that acupuncture works is
scant.
Definitely not recommended. More important, you have to go for many
sessions with no guarantee that it will work. Each session can cost $75-$150. My
advice- give acupuncture a rest- it is a glorified treatment that does very
little except make the providers rich.
