How can TCM help treat PCOS?

Doctor's Answer

TCM physician can help to treat Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome by performing acupuncture treatments for the patient to stimulate the meridians around the ovaries for ovulation to occur. Chinese herbal medicine can also be prescribed to help the patient to regulate her menstrual cycle.

TCM physicians can also initiate a TCM weight management treatment plan for the patient if the PCOS patient is overweight. This is because weight reduction is an important way to help the patient achieve regular ovulation. A weight reduction of just 5% can lead to significant improvement in PCOS. [1]
