PCOS Management

What Is PCOS?

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, commonly known as PCOS, is a condition wherein the ovaries contain numerous small cysts. These cysts are egg-containing follicles that haven’t matured correctly due to hormonal imbalances. Understanding PCOS is pivotal to managing its symptoms and seeking appropriate treatment.

What Are The Symptoms Of PCOS?

PCOS manifests in various ways, including:

• Excess hair growth (hirsutism)
• Persistent acne
• Irregular menstrual cycles
• Infertility

These symptoms may intensify if one is overweight, but it’s essential to note that women of standard weight can also experience them.

What Causes PCOS?

The root cause of PCOS lies in the overproduction of male hormones, notably androgens. While all women in their reproductive years produce androgens, PCOS symptoms surface when there’s an excess, especially testosterone. The condition often has a genetic component, as it’s frequently seen in families where multiple members are affected.

How Can PCOS Affect Fertility?

PCOS can lead to irregular ovulation or even anovulation, making conception challenging. Additionally, the hormonal imbalances associated with PCOS can interfere with the quality of eggs released, impacting fertility further.

How To Get Pregnant If You Have PCOS

• Ovulation induction: This is a common PCOS treatment that stimulates the ovary to release eggs, increasing the chances of conception.

What Risks Does PCOS Inflict On Pregnancy?

PCOS can increase the risk of:

• Miscarriage
• Gestational diabetes
• Premature birth

However, with adequate PCOS management, many women have healthy pregnancies.
