Weekly acupuncture treatment for three months is usually needed for normalizing hormonal and reproductive systems. According to traditional Chinese medicine, the environment where follicles are developing needs to be enhanced for three months before egg release. Depending on the severity of the condition, some patients may require treatment for longer periods of time.
