Has anyone tried acupuncture to help primary dysmenorrhoea?

Does it work? We are looking for personal experience...

Yes I tried it and all it did was take the edge of the pain, and certainly didnt stop it from coming back again:(
If you have always had bad dysmenorrhea, I can honestly suggest to see your doctor and ask to be referred to a specialist..ive put up with this for around 18 years and no doctor or method could help me. They just kept putting me back on the pill, and now that my fiance and I are trying to have a baby its no longer an option. I heard about endometriosis, and it sounds exactly like me so I literally had to demmand my doc to refer me.
Im about to start trying agnus castus, a natural supplement which is supposed to aid in severe dysmenorrhea, ive read up on it and prepapred to try anything.
Im not saying that I think you could have all the same things, but Im suggesting to see your doc or a specialist to try and help you find out if anything is going on..something I wish someone else had of told me to do years ago

Dysmenorrhoea is the occurrence of painful menstrual cramps of the uterus. Medical therapy for dysmenorrhoea commonly consists of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or the oral contraceptive pill both of which work by reducing myometrial (uterine muscle) activity. However, these treatments are accompanied by a number of side effects, making an effective non-pharmacological method of treating dysmenorrhoea of potential value. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a treatment that has been shown to be effective for pain relief in a variety of conditions. Electrodes are placed on the skin and electric current applied at different pulse rates (frequencies) and intensities is used to stimulate these areas so as to provide pain relief. In dysmenorrhoea. TENS is thought to work by alteration of the body's ability to receive or perceive pain signals rather than by having a direct effect on the uterine contractions. Acupuncture may also be indicated as a useful, non-pharmacological method for treating dysmenorrhoea. Acupuncture is thought to excite receptors or nerve fibres which, through a complicated interaction with mediators such as serotonin and endorphins, blocks pain impulses. Acupuncture typically involves penetration of the skin by fine, solid metallic needles, which are manipulated manually or by electrical stimulation.
