Chinese medicine focuses on conditioning, and adopts Chinese medicine, acupuncture and needle-medicine combination for different identification and typing through the idea of holistic view. The combination of Chinese and Western medicine gives full play to the advantages between modern medicine and traditional medicine, and combines Western medicine with Chinese medicine for symptomatic treatment, which is a holistic approach and has significant therapeutic effects. Therefore, this paper provides an overview of the research on the etiology and pathogenesis of PCOS in recent years, as well as an overview of the treatment of PCOS by Western medicine, Chinese medicine and the combination of Chinese and Western medicine.
