PCOS - Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

PCOS is a common condition and therefore it is often seen in the Clinic amongst our fertility patients.  It can be very upsetting to deal with this diagnosis when all you want to do is get pregnant!

Understanding PCOS

The ovaries produce  imbalanced levels of hormonal secretions, which means instead of  one follicle being stimulated and producing one mature egg during a cycle, numerous follicles are stimulated and this leads to a number of  them all being immature, which form tiny cysts. This disrupts the hormonal balance and therefore  reduces the possibility of ovulation, fertilisation and implantation.

PCOS  is a challenging condition but it is manageable and the more you do to rebalance the hormone levels, the better your chances are of conceiving.

How to help yourself with PCOS

• Rebalance your blood sugar

• Nutrition/Diet/Weight Loss

• Exercise
• Try Acupuncture

• Reduce your stress levels

• Take Inositol

Anyone seeking help with this condition who has treatment at Harmony Acupuncture will have these areas looked at in closer detail at which time support, advice and a treatment plan is then offered.
