Polycystic Ovaries

What are polycystic ovaries?

Polycystic ovaries are commonly associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a hormonal condition that can affect ovulation, menstrual cycles, and fertility. Having multiple follicles visible on an ultrasound does not, by itself, mean that a woman has PCOS.

What are the symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome?

Symptoms may include irregular periods, difficulty ovulating, acne, increased facial or body hair, and other hormone-related changes. Not every woman experiences the same symptoms.

How are polycystic ovaries treated?

Treatment depends on the patient's symptoms and goals. It may include lifestyle changes, medications to regulate menstrual cycles or manage hormonal changes, and, when pregnancy is desired, ovulation-inducing treatments or assisted reproductive techniques.

Which specialist treats polycystic ovaries?

A gynecologist can perform the initial evaluation and guide treatment. When there are difficulties achieving pregnancy, evaluation by a reproductive medicine or fertility specialist may be recommended.
