CV 3 on the abdomen and EX-CA 1 on both sides were manipulated by moxisbustion. The menstrual frequency, B ultrasound examination of uterus and adnexa uteri, luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), testosterone (T), prolactin (PRL), progesterone (PROG) and estradiol (E<sub>2</sub>) were recorded.<b>Results</b>Menstrual cycles were restored in twenty-six patients after six-month treatment. The total frequencies of menstruation were 105, of which 79 with normal ovulation accounting for 75.23%. The testosterone level of (109.65 ± 43.38) ng/dL before treatment were reduced to (53.7 ± 19.24) ng/dL after treatment, LH/FSH ratio of 4.15 ± 1.38 before treatment were reduced to 1.75 ± 1.09 after treatment. The differences were statistically significant (both <em>P</em><0.05).<b>Conclusion</b>Acupuncture can promote normal ovulation and menstrual cycles in patients with PCOS by regulating endocrine level.</td> </tr> <tr> <td align=
