Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

PCOS is a very common set of symptoms among women with menstrual disorders (present in up
to 90%). Several recent clinical studies have shown that properly administered acupuncture can
induce normalization of the menstrual cycle in these patients. The influence of acupuncture on
female sex hormones can be explained by its action on the hormonal axes (e.g. hypothalamicpituitary-
adrenal) (Lim CED et al. Gynecological Endocrinology. June 2010; 26(6):473-478.)
