TCM views PCOS as a complex interaction of Kidney Yang deficiency, Phlegm-Damp accumulation, and Liver Qi stagnation, where these patterns disrupt ovarian function and hormonal regulation.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), PCOS is often linked to Kidney Yang deficiency, Phlegm-Damp accumulation, and Liver Qi stagnation. These patterns interact and compound one another, where Kidney Yang deficiency affects ovulation, Phlegm-Damp accumulates in the ovaries forming cysts, and Liver Qi stagnation disrupts hormonal flow and menstrual cycles.
