Acupuncture for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome works incredibly well. So well in fact that clinical studies show an 89.7% total effective treatment rate!
PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) is one of the most common presentations in my clinic and the bane of many women. It is one of the leading causes of infertility due to its inherent nature of hormonal imbalance. From a Western perspective this is often seen as a genetic issue and can usually be traced back several generations, particularly when there is a family history of diabetes or high blood pressure.
PCOS results in the development of many (Poly) masses called cysts (cystic) developing on the ovaries. These cysts are actually egg-containing follicles that have failed to mature a healthy egg and instead become clumped. The cysts themselves aren't dangerous but can steal blood and hormones away from the healthy follicles preventing regular ovulation or in some cases any ovulation.
While the genetic link is suspected, Western medicine again really doesn't know why this happens (we do), but they do understand the damage such a hormonal imbalance can cause, including raised levels of luteinising hormone (LH) and male sex hormones like testosterone (which causes bad skin, and excess body hair). These elevations can reduce FSH and progesterone. And that's not all.
PCOS is also known to cause insulin resistance, which in turn leads to greater amounts of insulin being released to aid the breakdown of sugar in the body. This leads to excess weight, but worse still for fertility, again increases testosterone which when mixed with raised insulin levels interferes with ovulation...and that excess body fat triggers the release of more insulin leading to vicious cycle. But it doesn't have to be that way. There are clear cut steps that can be taken to resolve this...
Multiple studies and research has shown that the treatments in my clinic can specifically help with symptoms of PCOS. A study published in the Shanghai Journal of Acupuncture reviewed the work of Wang et al. That study demonstrated that Acupuncture for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome resulted in a 80.8% total effective rate. Another study, study conducted by Qiu HN & Xu J. showed "The total treatment effective rate was 89.7%".
In traditional medicine, PCOS is often seen in mild versions as condition we call Kidney Yin Vacuity and in severe versions two or three conditions we call Phlegm Damp, Blood Stasis and Qi & Blood Vacuity.
I know those names don't make much sense, but they will when I explain it in clinic. Each of these conditions have unique signs and symptoms attached to them. It's my job to ask the questions and figure out which pattern or patterns are causing the problem. I then explain that, in detail. Once we know the reason for your PCOS, Acupuncture for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is incredibly useful.
Acupuncture for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome enhances the body's production of blood cells and facilitates their targeted movement. For instance, certain acupuncture points promote increased blood flow and circulation, thereby regulating estrogen levels and other points aid in enhancing blood flow to the uterus, regulating menstrual cycles—particularly beneficial for patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) - thickening the uterine lining, and boosting implantation rates.
We also have special points to regulate insulin and testosterone levels making Acupuncture for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome one of, if not the most successful treatment protocol for PCOS there is.

What we'll do is have a sit down and chat. I'll take a full case history and figure out exactly what is going, which pattern or mix of patterns is present. Then, I'll explain it in detail so it all makes sense. This is important. So often fertility clinics just rush you into treatment and don't answer your questions. That won't happen. I am big believer in patient empowerment. The more you know about what is going on the better able you will be able to take action. :-)
Then, I'll outline the best way to get this fixed. It might be acupuncture, herbs, nutrition, specific exercises, structural or organ work. Don't worry, again, I'll explain how all this works and what could be useful for you and why.
