PCOS Manangement

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a complex hormonal gynae disorder that affects women across the world. At Birla Fertility & IVF, we understand the challenges that come with managing PCOS and are dedicated to providing comprehensive care to help you navigate this condition. Whether you’re seeking to understand your symptoms, exploring treatment options, or learning how to manage your condition with lifestyle changes, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know about PCOS.

Symptoms of PCOS

The symptoms of PCOS can vary widely from woman to woman, making it a condition that is often misunderstood or misdiagnosed. These are the more noticeable symptoms. 

 

  • Irregular periods: Infrequent, prolonged, or absent menstrual cycles are often one of the first signs of PCOS.
  • Excess hair growth: Known as hirsutism, women with PCOS may experience increased hair growth on the face, chest, back, and other areas.
  • Acne: Persistent acne, particularly on the face, chest, and upper back, is another common symptom.
  • Weight gain: Most women suffer from PCOS weight gain, especially around the stomach. 
  • Thinning hair: Hair loss or thinning on the scalp is also a common concern for women with PCOS.
  • Difficulty conceiving: PCOS is a leading cause of infertility due to irregular ovulation or anovulation (lack of ovulation).

If any of these symptoms show up, it’s vital that you seek prompt medical advice. Early diagnosis and management can help mitigate the long-term effects of PCOS.

What to Expect During Your Visit?

Diagnosing PCOS typically involves a combination of medical history review, physical examination, and specific tests. During your visit, your healthcare provider will likely:

 

  • Review your medical history: This includes discussing your menstrual cycle, any symptoms you’re experiencing, and your family history of PCOS or related conditions.
  • Conduct a physical examination: Your doctor may check for signs of excess hair growth, acne, and other symptoms of PCOS.
  • Order blood tests: These tests measure hormone levels, including androgens and insulin, to help identify any imbalances.
  • Perform an ultrasound: An ultrasound can help visualise the ovaries and detect the presence of cysts, as well as assess the thickness of the endometrium (the lining of the uterus).

Screening and diagnosis of PCOS is the first step toward understanding your condition and finding the right management approach.

PCOS and Fertility

PCOS has a direct impact on fertility. The irregular ovulation associated with PCOS can make it difficult to conceive. However, fertility treatments can help

 

  • Ovulation induction: Specific medications are commonly prescribed to stimulate ovulation in women with PCOS.
  • Assisted reproductive technologies (ART): In cases where medication alone is not effective, treatments like in vitro fertilisation (IVF) may be recommended.
  • Lifestyle modifications: As mentioned earlier, losing weight and improving insulin resistance can significantly enhance fertility outcomes in women with PCOS.

It’s important to remember that while PCOS can make conception more challenging, many women with PCOS go on to have healthy pregnancies with the right treatment and support.
