Polycystic ovary syndrome is somewhat different than simple ovarian cyst. It is usually the result of hormonal imbalance (excess of androgen, and with luteinizing hormone elevated). It can be associated with obvious symptoms of menstrual disorder, especially amenorrhea, which is usually caused by the underlying hormone imbalance rather than by the cysts themselves. Furthermore, women suffering from this disorder may display signs of hirsutism and will often be obese.

Acupuncture and Chinese medicine are designed to stimulate the body’s own natural production of hormones and regulate the menstrual cycle by gently correcting underlying deficiencies and/or eliminating disruptions. For example, when applied they can

a) restore reproductive energy in the kidney system which represents the reproductive endocrine system to normalize the production of hormones that regulate ovulation.
b) balance the liver system which controls smooth flow and distribution of blood to remove obstruction or constriction of blood circulation in the pelvic organs, which might be caused from living with high stress, consistent anger, frustration and/or anxiety.
c) build an adequate supply of blood to sustain a normal menstrual cycle, nourish the eggs to be revitalized, and support a healthy pregnancy.
d) help dissolve the thick, waxy coating found on the surface of the ovaries to improve ovarian function, enhance egg quality with the use of Chinese herbal medicine.
e) soothe the sympathetic nervous system to relax the body, reduce stress and influence healthy ovulation
