Methods: Twenty-two cases of the patients with obesity PCOS were treated with electroacupuncture. Before and after the treatments, BMI and serum sex hormones were determined to compare the therapeutic effects. Results: In comparison between the patients before and after the treatments, there were significant differences (P〈0.05) in BMI and luteinizing hormone (LH), but there was no significant difference (P〉0.05) in follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and testosterone (T). Conclusion: The therapeutic effect in electroacupuncture is obvious in lowering BMI and LH levels in PCOS patients, indicating that electroacupuncture is a new method in Chinese medicine for obesity PCOS.展开更多
