Menstrual piercing: 3 compelling reasons why our guests choose the medication-free path
Every month Kati dreaded the same thing: the tight cramps that had her slumped over her desk trying to survive the working day. The strongest tablet was always tucked away at the bottom of her bag, but after a while even that only dulled the tormenting discomfort rather than ending it. When she first heard about stimulating the reflex points of the ear, she was sceptical, but her search for a solution eventually brought her to us. She wasn’t looking for a simple piece of jewellery, but for the chance of a more balanced cycle.
What is a menstrual piercing, and how does it work in practice?
Many people search the internet for the term menstrual piercing , but it is important to be clear: at Medical Piercing we don’t insert fashion jewellery. This is a wellbeing service based on thousands of years of observations in ear acupuncture. According to this method, we treat certain points of the auricle as a kind of microsystem that may have an effect on the body’s general balance.
The cartilage parts of the ear contain nerve endings and reflex points that, according to traditional Eastern observations, are connected to the internal organs. When we stimulate these points lastingly with a precisely placed piercing made of medical-grade metal, we may support the body’s natural self-regulating processes.
The connection between the vagus nerve and relaxation
Although research is under way in this area, our guests’ feedback shows that stimulating the inner areas of the ear helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system. When inserting the menstrual piercing , our aim is to moderate the body’s stress response. If the nervous system is able to relax, according to experience the tight feeling in the pelvic area may also ease.
Why is the healthcare approach decisive during the piercing?
There is a huge difference between a tattoo studio and a practice with a healthcare approach. We don’t just “make holes”; we follow a professional protocol with every woman who places her trust in us.
- Professional background: With us, ear acupuncture specialists with healthcare experience do the work. We know the anatomy of the ear and the exact location of the points.
- Strict hygiene: With us, safety is a basic requirement. We work in a medically clean environment with sterile, single-use instruments to minimise risks.
- Instrument-based measurement: We don’t pierce by eye. With a point-finder instrument we identify the point of the auricle where the electrical resistance is lowest – this indicates the most active stimulation point.
The importance of precise placement
The anatomy of the ear is unique for everyone. If the menstrual piercing shifts even a few millimetres from the real nerve ending, it may lose its functional character. That is why it is important that with us a specialist does the piercing, consciously choosing the site based on the guest’s individual characteristics.
Discomfort, tension and difficult days: our guests’ experiences
Although under the applicable legislation we cannot promise healing, the feedback of the women who have visited us is extremely instructive.
Easing premenstrual tension
For many women, the days before their period (PMS) cause the greatest difficulty. Bloating, breast tenderness and irritability often make everyday work harder too. Based on our guests’ experience, the relaxing effect of the piercing may help them stay “smoother” even on these critical days.
Complementary support for persistent complaints
Some of our guests previously struggled with pelvic pain or more serious discomfort related to their cycle. Although our service does not replace medical diagnosis or targeted treatment, many see it as a complementary method. Based on their feedback, point stimulation may help the difficult days limit their activity less.
“Every month I was out of work for days because of the cramps. At the second cycle after the piercing I felt for the first time that I didn’t have to cancel my plans.” – The experience of our guest Anna (34).

Frequently asked questions and answers
“Can a change really be achieved?” Although every body reacts differently, a significant majority of our guests reported positive changes after the piercing was inserted. Some feel an immediate effect, while for others 2–3 months are needed for the nervous system to respond.
“Can it be used alongside surgical scars or medication?” Since the piercing does not interfere with the body’s chemical processes, it can be an excellent complement to conventional medical therapies. However, we always recommend that you also consult your doctor.
