Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

What is polycystic ovary syndrome?

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal condition that can affect ovulation, menstrual cycles, and fertility. Not all women with PCOS have ovarian cysts.

What are the symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome?

Symptoms may include irregular or absent periods, difficulty ovulating, acne, increased facial or body hair, hair loss, and other hormone-related changes. Symptoms vary from one woman to another.

How is polycystic ovary syndrome treated?

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

Which specialist treats polycystic ovary syndrome?

A gynecologist can perform the initial evaluation and diagnosis. Depending on the case, an endocrinologist or reproductive medicine specialist may also be involved, particularly when there are difficulties achieving pregnancy.
