Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Treatment

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder which affects egg development and ovulation. It is often hereditary, but that does not make it untreatable.
PCOS can make it extremely difficult to conceive, increase the chances of miscarriage and, when a successful pregnancy does occur, have a significant impact on the health of mother and baby.
Treatment must include a multi faceted approach. Changes in diet and lifestyle are a key component to treating PCOS. Acupuncture and herbs supports this process by regulating the hormones, improving blood flow to the ovaries and promoting healthy ovulation.
Below is an article detailing recent studies on the effects of acupuncture on PCOS and ovulation.
