Acupuncture treatment empowers women with PCOS

A qualitative study has explored the experiences of women receiving acupuncture for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Researchers interviewed eight Swedish women with PCOS, following multiple acupuncture treatments. For women suffering from PCOS, the positive results of acupuncture provide hope that their bodies are capable of normal function and empower them to take responsibility for their future wellbeing, even though they may have initially been sceptical about the treatment.
