Content updated on Sep 20, 2022
What is PCOS?
A condition where there are excessive levels of "male" hormones (androgens) and the ovaries develop fluid filled pouches (cysts). The exact cause is unknown but it can run in families and is related to a hormonal imbalance (such as insulin, and testosterone).
Symptoms of PCOS
Excessive hair growth on the body
Abnormal menstrual cycles e.g. too early or too late
Long intervals between periods e.g. 39 days or more
Pimples / Acne
Questions your doctor may ask to check for PCOS
Your doctor may ask these questions to diagnose PCOS
Have you felt that your body hair has grown thicker recently?
Do you have abnormal menstrual cycles e.g. too early or too late
Is your menstrual cycle infrequent e.g. longer than 39 days?
Do you have acne?
Treatment for PCOS
This can be treated with hormone controlling medicines. Treatment also aims to reduce symptoms, such as laser or cream for hair removal. If fertility is desired, the specialist may advise on medications or minor surgeries to improve fertility. If fertility medicines are not effective, surgical procedures may be recommended. Most women are able to get pregnant with treatment.
