Yes, it can! Many studies have shown that Yoga and other methods/forms of “natural” treatments are extremely helpful for PCOS, infertility and other reproductive related conditions.

I have practiced yoga (when I have the time that is!) for years now. Not only does it help your body and your health, but it is also great exercise. It helps tone and strengthen your body, and helps with weight control. Its true, Yoga can get pretty intense in the higher levels.

It is also extremely beneficial for controlling/preventing:

• High Blood Pressure
• Heart problems
• Stress
• Depression/Anxiety
• Menstrual cramps
• Pain
• Insomnia

…..and much more.

Below are some sites that review poses to help with infertility and womens issues. The are specific poses that help anything from infertility, circulation, toning the reproductive system, etc. It’s a long list, but these are the most beneficial poses to those of us dealing with this condition. You can also search this site for additional poses according to your specific need.

**As with all exercise programs, speak to your doctor before starting yoga. Although it is extremely safe to practice, some positions should not be performed if you have certain pre-existing conditions (i.e. some should not be performed during menstruation, pregnancy, heart issues, etc.)**
