Since PCOS is tightly linked with metabolic abnormalities, exercise is often recommended. In addition to reductions in insulin and insulin resistance, increased physical activity has also been linked to lower androgen levels and improved reproductive function in PCOS.[1][2] More research is needed to determine which types of exercise are most beneficial.
A number of studies have investigated the effect of acupuncture on PCOS, with effects seemingly no different than placebo.[3][4]
