PCOS: Boosting Fertility and Promoting Overall Wellness

Acupuncture is a natural and effective way to manage PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) and boost fertility. By regulating hormones, improving menstrual cycles, and promoting ovulation, acupuncture addresses the root causes of PCOS. At Austin Honeysuckle Acupuncture Clinic, we provide personalized treatments to help balance your body, support fertility, and improve overall wellness. Experience a holistic approach to managing PCOS and enhancing your reproductive health.

How Can Acupuncture Improve Fertility in PCOS?

Acupuncture offers a range of benefits for women with PCOS, including:

• Regulating hormone levels
• Lowering elevated androgen levels
• Increasing progesterone production
• Improving and stabilizing ovulation
• Reducing stress to help balance hormones
• Decreasing inflammation commonly associated with PCOS
• Supporting thyroid function, which is vital for fertility
• Stabilizing blood sugar and insulin levels to enhance ovarian function
• Increasing blood flow to the ovaries, improving their response

For best results, we recommend 1-2 acupuncture sessions per week for at least three months. Acupuncture can safely be combined with medications like Letrozole (Femara), Clomid, or Metformin to induce ovulation and manage PCOS symptoms. It also complements fertility treatments such as IUI and IVF.

Do I Have PCOS?

At our clinic, we work closely with you to determine whether PCOS is contributing to your fertility challenges. If diagnosed, we’ll develop a customized treatment plan aimed at enhancing ovarian function and improving fertility. Our approach addresses your overall health, not just reproductive issues. Acupuncture and Chinese medicine are central to a holistic strategy that also includes diet, lifestyle, and health management.

Personalized Acupuncture for PCOS

PCOS presents a variety of symptoms, and each woman may experience it differently. Women with PCOS typically fall into one or more of the following categories, and our treatments target each specific imbalance to support fertility:

• Insulin resistance
• Excess androgens, which can cause excessive body hair and acne
• HPO (Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Ovarian) axis dysfunction, leading to irregular or absent ovulation
• Inflammation
• Stress
• Thyroid imbalance

By focusing on your unique pattern, we offer personalized treatments that support fertility and promote overall health.
