PCOS is one of the leading causes of primary amenorrhea. It is also a common cause of secondary amenorrhea, which refers to the absense of a period for an extended period of several months. In a woman with PCOS, amenorrhea is caused by the high levels of hormones, such as estrogen and androgens or male hormones. These high and sustained levels of hormones cause there to be a lessening of the hormones produced by the pituitary gland that cause ovulation and menstruation.

In addition to causing problems with ovulation and menstruation, PCOS can cause a variety of other symtoms. Some of the symptoms of PCOS can include irregular periods, vaginal bleeding, hair loss, irregular hair growth, acne, insulin resistance, weight gain in the upper body, sleep apnea, chronic pelvic pain, high blood pressure, and infertility. For women who are trying to get pregnant, this can be very disheartening; even if they do manage to conceive, women with PCOS are at an increased risk for miscarriages.

Chinese medicine can improve hormonal imbalances that can be associated with amenorrhea and related conditions, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). In a number of preliminary trials, Chinese medicine has been shown to induce ovulation in women with disorders involving lack of ovulation. Preliminary studies show that levels of estrogen and progesterone, as well as levels of the related hormones LH (luteinizing hormone) and FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone), may all be affected by TCM.
