POLYCYSTIC OVARIAN SYNDROME (PCOS)
PCOS SUPPORT:
PCOS is a complex hormonal and metabolic disorder affecting women of reproductive age. Common symptoms are ovarian cysts, irregular menstrual cycles, hair thinning or abnormal hair growth, acne, mood swings, and metabolic problems leading to weight gain or difficulties in weight management.
Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine offer an evidence-based treatment for PCOS that enhances quality of life by managing symptoms, promoting optimal ovulation, and regulating monthly menstrual cycles.
In your initial appointment at Purnima Clinic, pattern differentiation will be discussed, along with your diagnosis history and criteria used. We encourage an integrative and collaborative care model when supporting PCOS, including findings from ultrasounds, hormonal panels, and blood tests.
PCOS management and reduction of symptoms may include Traditional Chinese Medicine modalities such as acupuncture, moxibustion, customized herbal formulas, targeted supplementation, and ongoing lifestyle and nutritional support in a treatment plan tailored to you.
IDEAL PCOS TREATMENT
Treatment plans are customized to meet each individual’s unique needs and best support their ovulatory and menstrual cycles. Typically, a three-month course of Chinese medicine treatment is advised.
