Patient Background / Story:
When Maya first contacted GinSen, she was worried and frustrated. At just 26, her period had been absent for three months, and recent blood tests showed a significantly raised DHEA level of 14.0, pointing toward hormonal imbalance linked to PCOS.
This wasn’t the first time Maya had experienced missing periods—she had a similar episode at ages 16 and 17, when her period stopped for almost a year. Alongside this, she was dealing with constant fatigue, difficulty falling asleep, frequent sugar cravings, headaches, and persistently cold hands and feet. Working as a teaching assistant with children who have additional needs added daily stress, further impacting her hormonal health.
Despite eating a relatively balanced diet, her body showed clear signs of internal stagnation and poor circulation. Maya wanted to restore her cycle naturally and support her body before the condition worsened.
How We Helped — The GinSen TCM Way
At GinSen, we don’t chase symptoms—we correct the internal environment. Using Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), we focused on restarting Maya’s menstrual cycle by restoring smooth Qi flow, nourishing blood, and supporting hormonal regulation at the root level.
1. Releasing Liver Qi Stagnation & Hormonal Blockage
In TCM, absent periods with high DHEA strongly relate to Liver Qi stagnation and blood stasis. Maya’s stress, headaches, mood changes, and irregular cycle all pointed to this pattern. We focused on gently detoxifying the Liver, restoring hormone signalling, and encouraging natural menstrual movement.
2. Nourishing Blood & Improving Circulation
Maya’s pale, thin tongue and cold extremities showed blood deficiency and poor circulation. Without sufficient blood flow, the uterus cannot function properly. Herbal therapy was used to nourish blood, warm the internal system, and support healthy shedding of the uterine lining.
3. Supporting Stress, Sleep, and Metabolism
Chronic stress was quietly disrupting Maya’s hormonal rhythm. We addressed this through herbal support, lifestyle guidance, and nervous-system calming strategies to improve sleep quality, reduce evening heat sensations, and stabilise energy levels.

The Result
With consistent treatment and lifestyle changes, Maya’s body began responding. Her internal warmth improved, energy levels stabilised, and most importantly her menstrual cycle restarted. This marked a key turning point in restoring hormonal balance and managing PCOS naturally.
Her treatment continues with adjustments to strengthen cycle regularity and prevent future disruption.
Key Takeaways:
- Absent periods in PCOS are often linked to stress, Liver Qi stagnation, and blood deficiency—not just hormones alone.
- Addressing circulation, warmth, and emotional stress is essential for cycle recovery.
- Consistency is critical—TCM works by rebuilding the body step by step.
Maya’s story shows that even long-standing cycle disruption can be reversed when the body is supported correctly, gently, and consistently.
