Researchers have discovered that acupuncture helps improve PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome). PCOS is a common female endocrine disorder with side effects including irregular menstruation, amenorrhea, anovulation, and infertility. Women with PCOS have excess quantities of androgenic hormones. Excess androgens may lead to acne, obesity due to insulin resistance, high cholesterol and hirsutism (excess facial and body hair).

Acupuncture improves menstrual frequency and decreases circulating androgens in women with PCOS. It also helps with menstrual pain and infertility. If you or someone you know suffers from PCOS contact our office to learn more about how acupuncture can help.
