Acupuncture treatment continued for three cycles, undertaken one week prior to menses whereas herbal therapy was maintained for six months. Within this six month time frame Jenny's overall health status had changed dramatically for the better. She was pain free and consequently her life-style had improved to the point where she felt confident to travel overseas for a holiday. To date, Jenny and her mother have kept in touch with clinic staff and no further treatment has been necessary.
