Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common endocrine disorder with reproductive dysfunction and metabolic disorders in adolescent and pregnant women. It is one of the critical factors leading to infertility. Acupuncture has a specific effect on improving the symptoms of PCOS. By reducing the secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone in the hypothalamus, promoting follicular development, improving insulin resistance, restoring hyperandrogenism, and regulating the excitability of sympathetic nerve, acupuncture can restore the disorder of hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis and abnormal energy metabolism in the PCOS patients, to achieve the therapeutic effect on PCOS and provide new ideas for acupuncture treatment of PCOS.
