Acupuncture for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) / PMOS

Natural, specialist support for polycystic ovary syndrome in London and across the UK

You may have seen that PCOS has recently been proposed for renaming to PMOS (Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome) to better reflect the complex hormonal and metabolic nature of the condition.

At Don’t Tell Me To Relax we welcome this change, which acknowledges what we have long understood in clinic: that this condition goes far beyond the ovaries and affects the whole body. Whether you know it as PCOS or PMOS, our approach remains the same with specialist, integrated care that addresses the full picture.

For PCOS / PMOS, some of the key areas we explore and support include

  • Menstrual cycle health encouraging more regular cycles, easing heavy or painful bleeds and supporting ovulation.
  • Digestive system reducing bloating, constipation and food sensitivities while supporting healthy blood sugar balance and insulin regulation.
  • Vaginal health helping with recurrent thrush, BV or infections, which are more common when hormones are disrupted.
  • Immune system supporting immunity and reducing low-grade inflammation, often linked with PCOS.
  • Metabolic health addressing weight fluctuations, sugar cravings and energy dips by helping regulate metabolism.
  • Skin & hair supporting the body’s natural balance to improve acne, hair growth or thinning, which can affect confidence.
  • Sleep improving sleep quality and energy, which are vital for hormone regulation.
  • Stress & mood – calming the nervous system to reduce anxiety, lift mood and help the body switch out of “survival mode.”
  • Thyroid health – screening for links with thyroid function, which can influence cycles and fertility.
  • Lifestyle – working with you on nutrition, exercise, rest and relaxation, so your daily habits support your goals.

” I couldn’t recommend the team enough! They really supported me emotionally through my fertility journey, to becoming pregnant. I really enjoy my relaxing acupuncture treatments, which help me with my anxiety. I honestly think I fell pregnant sooner than I would have due to their support with the acupuncture and pointing me in the right direction for the tests that I needed, which ultimately ended in success!“

Can acupuncture help with PCOS?
Acupuncture for PCOS aims to help regulate menstrual cycles, balance hormones, improve insulin sensitivity and reduce the stress and inflammation often associated with the condition. Many of our clients find it a valuable part of their overall PCOS management plan.
Can acupuncture help me conceive if I have PCOS?
Yes. PCOS is one of the most common causes of irregular ovulation and fertility difficulties. Alongside acupuncture we work to understand your cycle, support ovulation, and address the hormonal and metabolic factors that can make conception more challenging with PCOS.
How is acupuncture for PCOS different from general acupuncture?
Our practitioners specialise exclusively in reproductive health and women’s health. This means we use specific protocols for PCOS — targeting hormonal regulation, blood sugar balance, cycle health and stress response, rather than a generic approach.
How many sessions will I need for PCOS?
This varies depending on your symptoms and goals. We generally recommend working together for at least three months to see meaningful changes in cycle regularity and hormone balance. We will discuss a personalised plan at your first appointment.
Can acupuncture help with PCOS symptoms beyond fertility, such as skin, hair and weight?
Yes. Our treatment plans address the full picture of PCOS, including acne, hair changes, weight fluctuations, energy, mood and sleep, not just the fertility aspects. We take a whole-body approach to managing the condition.
Where do you offer acupuncture for PCOS?
We have four clinics across London in Streatham, Balham, Belgravia and Bethnal Green and a UK-wide network of practitioners. We also offer a free 15-minute discovery call if you’d like to speak to someone before booking.
