This study is testing whether a special diet—one that uses low-glycemic, high-fiber foods adapted to local eating habits—can help women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) feel better and have more regular periods. Researchers in remote Yunnan Province, China, will follow about 56 women with PCOS for six months to see if this dietary approach improves hormone levels, insulin resistance, and menstrual regularity.
Women with PCOS often struggle with irregular periods, hormone imbalances, and metabolic problems, and current treatments don't work well for everyone. This trial is designed to test whether a practical, culturally-adapted diet can offer real, lasting help for PCOS management—especially for women in areas with fewer treatment options.

You would follow a specially designed low-glycemic, high-fiber diet for six months while maintaining your normal physical activity level. During this time, researchers would monitor how the diet affects your hormone levels, insulin resistance, and menstrual cycle through regular check-ins and blood tests. You would need to stay in the study area for the full six months and avoid starting any new weight-loss medications or major dietary programs.
