To answer your question, YES TCM can help with PCOS treatment and can also be used as a primary form of treatment.
In TCM, PCOS is seen as Blood stagnation in the Chong (penetrating vessel) and Ren mai (Conception vessel) stemming from KIdney/Liver deficiencies. But then again, not all PCOS sufferers are the same so the diagnosis can vary from each condition and person.
Symptoms of PCOS can include anovulation(lack of ovulation), irregular, painful, heavy or lack of menstruation, hirsutism (excessive hairgrowth mainly found in male), weight gain and even result in miscarriage. So to answer your second question, YES PCOS can affect TTC people. It incurrs hormonal imbalances, anovulation and disrupts the body's normal menstrual cycle. TCM and acupuncture can work hand in hand in invigorating and tonifying blood circulation, and nourishing the kidneys and liver.
Chinese medicine has a reknown high success rate in treating PCOS. How swiftly results are seen depends on number and size of cycts, and severity of condition. I do suggest u give TCM a go since u have nothing to lose except maybe your cysts! I hope that answers your question(s). And if u have anymore questions do feel free to fire away. I check the forums on a daily basis and will reply whenever i can.
