Discussion on How Acupuncture for PCOS Helps:
More than 10% of women are affected by Polycystic Ovarian syndrome or infertility. This common endocrine disorder can occur at any phase of a woman’s life before menopause. For a woman suffering from PCOS, ovaries create an abundance of follicles while disrupting the ovulation as there is no production of eggs. 3
How does Acupuncture help with PCOS?
Recent research has shown the efficacy of Acupuncture for PCOS success treatment. Most of the clinical studies have indicated that Acupuncture therapy has shown to increase the ovulation rate to 31% in PCOS patients.
In the process of the acupuncture treatment for PCOS, the reproductive system acupuncture meridians are placed with several needles. The therapy has also shown its effectiveness in improving insulin sensitivity1 as well. It also reduces levels of testosterone and estradiol.
PCOS is a problem associated with the rise of the sympathetic nerve activities. The blood vessels of the body get restrained for that reason. Many women suffering from PCOS skip their periods for several months.4
Acupuncture treatment helps in improving the blood flow, enhances functioning of the reproductive system and also normalize hormone level. Acupuncture therapy also helps patients to regulate their menstruation cycle.2
