PCOS Q&A
What is PCOS?
PCOS stands for polycystic ovary syndrome, a women’s health condition that causes your body to make too much male hormone (androgen).
It’s associated with cysts, or fluid-filled sacs, that develop on your ovaries. While there’s no cure for PCOS, treatment can reduce symptoms and may restore fertility.
Signs and symptoms associated with PCOS may include:
- Infertility
- Pelvic pain
- Irregular menstrual periods
- Weight gain
- Acne
- Oily skin
- Excess body and facial hair growth
- Thick skin patches
While anybody can develop PCOS, the condition is more common in obese women or those with a family history of PCOS.
If you experience PCOS symptoms or are at risk, see the Advanced Obstetrics & Gynecology, LLC team for an evaluation.
What are the complications associated with PCOS?
Complications that can develop because of PCOS might include:
- Metabolic syndrome
- Diabetes
- High blood pressure
- Heart disease
- Depression
- Sleep apnea
- Endometrial cancer
Attending routine women’s wellness exams helps your provider identify signs, symptoms, and risk factors for PCOS to reduce your risk of complications.
How is PCOS diagnosed?
To find out if you have PCOS, your OB/GYN specialist reviews your medical history and discusses any symptoms you may have.
They also complete a physical exam, including a pelvic exam, and might use blood tests or ultrasound to diagnose your condition.
How is PCOS treated?
To better manage PCOS symptoms, your Advanced Obstetrics & Gynecology, LLC specialist might recommend:
Lifestyle changes
Losing weight and making diet and exercise changes can reduce PCOS symptoms and give you a better quality of life.
Medications
Taking medications can decrease androgen production or control insulin to reduce specific PCOS symptoms. Examples include
birth control pills, oral medicines, and creams that slow facial hair growth in women.
Fertility treatments
If you’re struggling to get pregnant because of PCOS, certain medications
or in vitro fertilization (IVF) may increase your chance of having a healthy baby.
Your provider personalizes each PCOS treatment based on the severity of your condition, your preferences,
and whether you’d like to have children in the future.
To get screened for PCOS or better manage the disease, schedule an appointment with
Advanced Obstetrics & Gynecology, LLC by phone or book online today.
