Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder affecting people with ovaries, characterised by irregular menstrual cycles, excess androgen levels, and multiple ovarian cysts. It can lead to symptoms like acne, weight gain, and infertility.
Natural PCOS specialists at London’s GinSen clinics offer a range of natural treatments, including Chinese Medicine herbs and acupuncture for PCOS. Our PCOS specialists aim to address the root cause while also helping to relieve symptoms.
How can Chinese Medicine help with PCOS
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been used for conditions such as PCOS for thousands of years and continues to do so today. It works by unblocking energy channels, eliminating internal cold, cold dampness, stress inflammation and cleansing heat toxins from the body. Natural Chinese medicine for PCOS works to boost spleen and Kidney Yang energy.
Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture for PCOS works by re-balancing internal organs , Traditional Chinese Medicine considers PCOS to be primarily attributable to:
Kidney Deficiency
Irregular ovulation, fatigue
Liver Qi Stagnation
Stress, mood swings, hormone issues
Phlegm-Dampness
Weight gain, cysts, acne, insulin resistance
PCOS Types : Which Type Do You Have?
TCM categorises PCOS into various types based on underlying imbalances in the body.
What is Insulin-Resistant PCOS?
This is the most common type, affecting around 70% of women with PCOS. It happens when the body becomes less sensitive to insulin causing the pancreas to produce more.,
Common signs include:
- Weight gain
- Fatigue, Brain fog
- Dark skin patches, acne, facial hair
- Hair thinning
- Sugar cravings
Our TCM Approach:
In TCM, this is often linked to Spleen Qi Deficiency, which weakens digestion and energy flow. We focus on strengthening the spleen, improving metabolism, and rebalancing hormones naturally.
What is Post-Pill PCOS?
This type appears after stopping birth control pills. Hormones may become imbalanced as the body takes time to resume its natural hormonal rhythm and ovulatory function.
Common signs include:
- Acne
- Excess facial/body hair
- Delayed or absent periods
- Mood swings
Our TCM Approach:
We view this as a combination of Liver Qi Stagnation and Spleen Qi Deficiency, often caused by hormonal disruption. Treatment focuses on restoring the natural flow of Qi and supporting the body’s recovery.
What is Adrenal PCOS?
This stress-related type affects about 10% of PCOS patients. It’s often linked to elevated adrenal androgens such as DHEA-S, resulting from the body’s response to prolonged physical or emotional stress.
Common signs include:
- Fatigue
- Anxiety
- Sleep issues
- Irregular cycles
Our TCM Approach:
In TCM, this reflects Kidney Qi Deficiency and Liver Qi Stagnation, disrupting the body’s stress response and energy flow. We aim to nourish kidney energy and soothe the liver to restore hormonal balance.
What is Inflammatory PCOS?
This less common type is driven by chronic inflammation, which can impact hormone balance and ovarian function.
Common signs include:
- Acne
- Hair loss
- Painful or irregular periods
- Bloating
- High inflammation markers (like CRP).
Our TCM Approach:
This condition is viewed as Damp-Heat Accumulation and Blood Stasis. Treatment focuses on clearing internal heat, improving circulation, and reducing inflammation to support healthy ovulation.
