Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) Treatment
Serving Joliet, Wheaton and Surrounding Cities in Chicago
Countless women in Chicago and surrounding areas of Joliet and Wheaton suffer from PCOS, or polycystic ovarian syndrome. This is a condition that not only results in painful side effects and an increased risk of serious complications, but infertility as well. Our natural fertility specialists provide customized treatment and therapy that is developed based on the unique needs of each patient. Acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutritional therapy, massage and other components of traditional Chinese medicine have proven to benefit women with PCOS by promoting wellness throughout the body and enhancing fertility.
PCOS treatment often involves the use of birth control pills in conventional medicine, however we believe in getting to the root of the problem rather than treating symptoms. Empowering your health through diet, stress reduction, herbal medicine and lifestyle changes can be tremendously helpful even when combined with conventional medicine, what we call an integrative approach. Disease or illness in the body affects the various systems and organs; your reproductive system does not function independently from the rest of your body, so overall wellness is vital to fertility.
Some of the symptoms that may indicate polycystic ovarian syndrome include:
- Infertility
- Hair loss on the head (male pattern baldness)
- Acne
- Irregular menstrual cycle or absent periods
- Excess growth of hair on the face
- Weight gain
