The effect of acupuncture 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.
针刺诱导体重减轻对月经活动的影响绝对不是一个可以忽略的问题。通过分析现有的关于神经内分泌系统相互影响及临床试验的资料可知，针刺诱导体重减轻与月经之间存在密切的相互关系。针刺治疗可通过调节瘦素、甲状腺系统及下丘脑 - 垂体 - 肾上腺皮质轴的活动来达到减轻体重及改善月经的效果。临床实践表明，针刺刺激一些常用的减肥穴位对肥胖女性的月经活动也有良好的调节作用。
