Understanding PCOS and How Acupuncture Can Help

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) affects millions of women worldwide, disrupting hormonal balance, menstrual cycles, and fertility. If you’ve been struggling with irregular periods, ovulation challenges, or unexplained weight fluctuations, you’re not alone. At Aphrodite Fertility, we specialize in acupuncture and herbal protocols designed to regulate hormones, improve ovulation, and support your fertility journey.

What is PCOS?

PCOS is a complex hormonal condition that affects ovarian function. It’s characterized by:

• Irregular or Absent Periods – A sign that ovulation is not occurring regularly.
• Excess Androgens – Leading to symptoms like acne, excess hair growth, and hair thinning.
• Ovarian Cysts – Fluid-filled sacs around the ovaries that can disrupt egg release.
• Insulin Resistance – A common feature that can contribute to weight gain and metabolic issues.

While PCOS is one of the leading causes of infertility, it doesn’t mean pregnancy is out of reach. Acupuncture, herbal supplements, and lifestyle modifications can make a profound impact on your reproductive health.

How Acupuncture Supports PCOS and Fertility

Acupuncture is an ancient practice that enhances your body’s natural ability to balance hormones, regulate cycles, and improve ovarian function. Here’s how it works:

1. Regulates Hormonal Imbalances

Acupuncture influences the endocrine system, helping to lower testosterone levels, improve estrogen-progesterone balance, and enhance overall hormone regulation. This helps restore ovulation and menstrual regularity.

2. Improves Ovulation & Menstrual Cycles

Women with PCOS often experience anovulation (lack of ovulation). Acupuncture stimulates blood flow to the ovaries and uterus, improving egg quality and increasing the likelihood of ovulation.

3. Enhances Insulin Sensitivity

Insulin resistance is a common feature of PCOS, making it harder for the body to regulate blood sugar levels. Acupuncture has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity, supporting metabolic health and weight management.

4. Reduces Inflammation

Chronic inflammation is often present in women with PCOS. Acupuncture helps reduce systemic inflammation, creating a more favorable environment for conception.

5. Supports Emotional Wellbeing

PCOS can take a toll on your mental health, contributing to anxiety and depression. Acupuncture helps regulate the nervous system, promoting relaxation, reducing stress, and supporting emotional balance during your fertility journey.
