RESUMOObjetivo: Descrever as técnicas de acupuntura aplicadas para alívio de ondas de calor decorrentes do período do climatério. Método: Revisão sistemática na base de dados Medline, pelo método P.I.C.O, onde P=Postmenopausal, I=Acupuncture e O= Hot Flashes. Foram selecionados artigos científicos controlados e randomizados sobre o tema em questão. Um total de 12 artigos preencheu os critérios de inclusão; mulheres saudáveis na fase pré e pós-menopausa e mulheres com risco para utilização de terapia hormonal, relatando ondas de calor, submetidas às técnicas de acupuntura sistêmica e eletroacupuntura. Resultados: Estudos analisados indicam alívio dos sintomas para ondas de calor nas variantes severidade (média 50%) e frequência (média 45%), porém a eletroacupuntura, quando observada em longo prazo, apresenta melhor resultado em relação à acupuntura sistêmica. Conclusões: Estudos sugerem que a prática da acupuntura é segura e eficaz para amenizar ondas de calor, tanto em mulheres saudáveis como em mulheres com contra indicação para a reposição hormonal.

“…w 2010 r. za pomocą fMRI zobrazowano obniżenie aktywności w jądrze migdałowatym i podwzgórzu w trakcie wykonywania zabiegu akupunktury [56]. Skuteczność akupunktury w leczeniu uderzeń gorąca określa się na ok. 50%, więc nie jest to leczenie tak skuteczne jak MHT, ale dużą zaletą tej metody jest to, że można ją stosować również u pacjentek z nowotworem piersi [50,[57][58][59]. Obecnie w wielu ośrodkach, szczególnie tam, gdzie znalazły zastosowanie zasady medycyny integracyjnej, akupunktura jest stosowana jako jedna z metod terapii, w tym leczenia uderzeń gorąca [60][61][62][63][64][65][66].…”

StreszczenieMenopauza jest kolejnym etapem życia kobiety, w którym bardzo często dochodzi do obniżenia jakości życia ze względu na występowanie wielu schorzeń i objawów, m.in. objawów wypadowych typu uderzenia gorąca. Uderzenia gorąca i nadmierne pocenie się, będące ich nocnym odpowiednikiem, występują w okresie okołome-nopauzalnym u większości kobiet. Jednocześnie są najczęstszym powodem zgłaszania się pacjentek w okresie okołomenopauzalnym do ginekologa. Podstawowym sposobem terapii tych zaburzeń jest stosowanie menopauzalnej terapii hormonalnej (menopausal hormone therapy -MHT).Jednak nie wszystkie kobiety mogą stosować MHT, a część z nich dodatkowo obawia się terapii hormonalnej. Ta grupa pacjentek szuka alternatywnego sposobu złagodzenia objawów klimakterycznych. Jedną z tych metod jest akupunktura, która w ostatnim dziesięcioleciu znalazła uznanie jako metoda bezpieczna i skuteczna. Autorzy przeprowadzili retrospektywne badanie grupy 86 pacjentek w okresie okołomenopauzalnym, niestosujących MHT, z nasilonymi objawami naczynioruchowymi, które poddały się w latach 2010-2011 zabiegom akupunktury. Badanie to miało odpowiedzieć na pytanie o skuteczność akupunktury w leczeniu uderzeń gorąca.Słowa kluczowe: akupunktura, menopauza, uderzenia gorąca. SummaryThe menopause is a successive stage of the woman's life, during which the quality of her life decreases very frequently due to the occurrence of many diseases and symptoms, among others, the perimenopausal symptoms such as hot flashes. Hot flashes and hidrosis as their night equivalent, appear during the perimenopausal period in the majority of women. At the same time, they are the most frequent reason of women patients in the perimenopausal period, for seeing the gynaecologist. The basic therapeutic method used in treatment of the above mentioned disorders is the menopausal hormone therapy (MHT).Nevertheless, not every woman can apply the MHT, and some women are also afraid of using any hormone therapy. Namely, this group of women is looking for an alternative way to relieve symptoms of the climacteric. One of these methods is acupuncture, which gained a recognition within the last decade as a safe and effective method. The authors conducted a retrospective study with a group of 86 women patients in the perimenopausal period with the exacerbated vasomotor symptoms, who were not applying any MHT, but who underwent acupuncture treatment in 2010-2011. The study was to answer a question about effectiveness of acupuncture in treatment of hot flashes.

Objectives: To evaluate administration of bee stings at sites of acupuncture on the hormonal profile of patients with idiopathic premature ovarian failure (POF).Study design: A pilot study carried at Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department, Tanta University Hospital, and at the Entomology Unit, Zoology Department, Faculty of Science, Tanta University from June 2015 to December 2015.Patients and Methods: 20 patients aged 18 to 40 years with idiopathic POF were included in a case series study. Measurement of serum concentrations of Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinizing Hormone (LH), 17β-estradiol (E2) and Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) with calculation of Antral Follicles Count (AFC) and volume of ovaries was done before and after bee stings that were administered for 3 months, 2 sessions per week. Every session was 15 minutes with a range of 3-8 stings per session at the site of acupuncture. The outcome measures were changes in estimated variables within one month after bee stings.Results: FHS and LH significantly decreased from 54.5 ± 3.2 to 27.1 ± 5 mIU/ mL and from 53.8 ± 2.7 to 25.2 ± 4.1 mIU/mL respectively (P value< 0.001). E2 significantly increased from 38.7 ± 3.3 to 92.5 ± 2.9 Pg/mL (P value< 0.05). Ovarian volume, AFC and AMH were not specifically different after bee stings. Conclusion:Bee stings at the sites of acupunctures significantly reduced the serum levels of both FSH and LH and increased serum concentrations of E2 with improvement in hot flushes and vaginal dryness. Bee stings had no effect on AFC, AMH or ovarian volume. The use of bee venom (stings) therapy at the sites of acupunctures for patients with idiopathic POF is recommended.
