Yes — acupuncture has a solid body of research supporting its use in PCOS management, particularly for regulating menstrual cycles, improving ovulatory frequency, and reducing elevated androgen levels. It works through mechanisms that may help address key hormonal imbalances and, in some research, improve insulin sensitivity — two central drivers of PCOS. Consistent treatment over 3–6 months tends to produce the most meaningful hormonal shifts. Acupuncture is commonly used alongside lifestyle interventions and, where prescribed, medications like letrozole or metformin.
