Private PCOS Specialist Treatment

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is diagnosed by meeting two of three Rotterdam criteria: irregular or absent periods, elevated androgens (clinically or biochemically), and polycystic ovaries on ultrasound. It is the most common hormonal disorder in women of reproductive age.

Symptoms vary but commonly include irregular or missing periods, acne, excess body or facial hair (hirsutism), scalp hair thinning, weight gain (especially abdominal), and difficulty conceiving. Not every woman with PCOS has all symptoms.

PCOS is the most common cause of anovulatory infertility (failure to ovulate). However, most women with PCOS can conceive with appropriate treatment u2014 lifestyle modification, ovulation induction with medications (letrozole, metformin, clomiphene), or IVF if needed.

Women with PCOS have increased risk of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease over time, particularly if associated with insulin resistance and obesity. Regular monitoring of metabolic markers is an important part of ongoing PCOS management.

There is no cure, but PCOS is very manageable. Lifestyle changes (weight loss even of 5u201310% significantly improves hormonal balance and fertility), combined with targeted medical treatment, enable most women to control symptoms effectively and achieve their reproductive goals.
