PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) is a hormonal disorder common among women of reproductive age. The exact cause is unknown, but it's believed to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Insulin resistance, inflammation, and hormonal imbalances all play significant roles in its development.
The main symptoms include irregular periods, excessive hair growth (hirsutism), acne, weight gain, thinning hair, fertility issues, and sometimes insulin resistance. Symptoms can vary widely between individuals.
PCOS is typically diagnosed through a combination of medical history, physical examination, blood tests to measure hormone levels, and ultrasound to examine the ovaries. The diagnosis is based on the presence of at least two of three key features: irregular periods, excess androgen levels, and polycystic ovaries.
While PCOS cannot be completely cured, its symptoms can be effectively managed through a combination of lifestyle changes, medications, and ongoing medical care. Many women find significant relief from their symptoms with proper treatment.
PCOS can affect fertility by causing irregular ovulation or preventing ovulation altogether. However, many women with PCOS can conceive with appropriate treatment. Dr. Ghosh offers specialized fertility support for women with PCOS who are trying to become pregnant.
