PCOS Clinic

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder common among women of reproductive age. It’s characterized by irregular periods, excess levels of androgens (male hormones), and small cysts on the ovaries. Symptoms may include irregular menstrual cycles, excess hair growth, acne, and weight gain. PCOS can also lead to fertility issues and long-term health problems like diabetes and heart disease. While the exact cause is unknown, genetics and insulin resistance are believed to play a role. Treatment typically focuses on managing symptoms and may include lifestyle changes, medication to regulate hormones, and fertility treatments for those trying to conceive. Early diagnosis and intervention can help manage symptoms and reduce the risk of complications associated with PCOS.
