Study: Acupuncture Boosts Libido and Decreases Hot Flashes in Breast Cancer Patients
By Donna Parker • Feb 4th, 2010 • Category: Female Libido, Health News
Breast cancer patients who are currently undergoing treatment may want to consider acupuncture, as a new study suggests it could reduce their hot flashes and boost their libido.
While previous studies indicated that nutritional supplements could increase a female’s sex drive, acupuncture offers multiple benefits for those who are experiencing side effects from their treatment.
New findings from a study in the Journal of Oncology, reveal that acupuncture actually has more benefits than side effects for breast cancer patients, as opposed to some drug therapies that doctors recommend.
While drug therapy may be effective, some patients may experience side effects such as dry mouth, decreased appetite and nausea.
Approximately 50 breast cancer patients were recruited to either undergo acupuncture or drug therapy treatment over a 12-week period to determine the benefits.
Researchers discovered that both groups experienced 50 percent less hot flashes and depressive symptoms, which often leads to a lack of sex drive.
Findings also revealed that women who were on the drug therapy began receiving an increased amount of hot flashes two weeks after treatment, while acupuncture patients didn’t experience a rise until three months after treatment.
