PCOS can be a difficult condition to treat and we suggest you consider acupuncture for 4-6 months as a reasonable time frame to see if any ovulatory function can be regulated.

ENDOMETRIOSIS
1 in 10 women of reproductive age across the UK have endometriosis. That is over 1.5 million women. Endometriosis UK research shows that it takes an average of 7.5 years from first developing symptoms to diagnosis. Much of this can be put down to lack of awareness of the condition that affects as many women as arthritis. To reduce the delay in diagnosis, teenagers and young women need to be made more aware of what is considered normal, how they can help themselves and when they should consult somebody else.
Symptoms of endometriosis can start as early as the first period, however; around 50% of girls who experience severe period pains in the first few years of menstruation will find this settles down with time. But for the remaining 50%, further action is needed.
Endometriosis UK is the leading national charity dedicated to providing these services. Our information section is full of advice about the condition, how it may affect you and what you can do to help treat it.
