September is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) Month. This month, learn how to get natural relief for your discomfort and regulate your menstrual cycle.
PCOS is one of the most common endocrine disorders that affects approximately ten percent of women, ranging from those who are in their teens up until menopause. This syndrome is caused by a hormonal imbalance that causes the ovaries to enlarge and creates cysts on the outer layer of the ovaries. PCOS presents itself in many ways from lower abdominal pain, irregular menstrual cycle, and infertility, which leaves many women undiagnosed.
A study done at the University of Gothenburg discovered that regular electro-acupuncture treatments with exercise reduced the symptoms of PCOS compared to those on medication. The acupuncture also showed longer lasting reduced symptoms without any adverse side effects, which many patients report with common PCOS medications.
Acupuncture treats PCOS in a number of ways. By stimulating acupuncture points on the lower abdomen, the muscles and organs in this localized area begin to have a smoother flow of blood and qi (what Chinese medicine providers recognize as vital life force), which results in alleviated discomfort and for menstrual cycles to become more regular. Acupuncturists will also use specific points on the lower legs and arms to regulate disharmonies that may have caused the issue to begin with.
