A recent review found that “acupuncture exerts long-lasting beneficial effects on metabolic and endocrine systems and ovulation [in PCOS patients]”.

Note: our clinical experience confirms this. We have found that Chinese Medicine can help most cases of ovulatory problems (PCOS or otherwise). We have had a number of cases of women who either had never had a confirmed ovulation or only ovulated with Clomid, that were able to ovulate on their own within 3 - 6 months of treatment with acupuncture and herbs. Chinese Medicine should be considered as a first line of therapy for anovulation in our opinion.
