Polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS)is a complex,multifactorial endocrine-metabolic disorder with an unclear etiology.Increasing research indicates that endoplasmic reticulum stress(ERS),caused by granulosa cell dysfunction,excess androgens,in-sulin resistance,obesity,and oxidative stress,further exacerbates metabolic dysregulation in PCOS patients,thus promoting the path-ological development of the condition.Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)treatments,including herbal monomers,compound pre-scriptions,and acupuncture and moxibustion,can effectively improve the ERS status in PCOS patients,thereby alleviating clinical symptoms and improving quality of life.
