PCOS & HORMONE IMBALANCES
PCOS is a medical condition that affects women of reproductive age. The main characteristic of PCOS is hormonal imbalance, resulting in a wide range of symptoms. In women with PCOS, we can see an irregular production of follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH) and luteinizing hormone(LH). These are the two hormones essential for ovulation.
This can lead to limited egg development and a decrease in fertility. Additionally, the hormonal imbalance usually results in increased levels of testosterone and other male hormones that can cause acne, unwanted hair growth, and male pattern baldness.
Levels of the hormone androgen are also increased by abnormal insulin metabolism. The abnormal insulin metabolism associated with PCOS can also lead to obesity, and worsen anovulation (no ovulation). This can cause a range of complications, such as irregular periods, difficulty getting pregnant, and an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
To diagnose PCOS, doctors often use blood tests to check hormone levels. These tests can help determine if a woman has an imbalance in her hormones, and can also help rule out other conditions that can cause similar symptoms.
While PCOS is a chronic condition that cannot be cured, it can be managed with lifestyle changes, medications, and other treatments. Women with PCOS can work with their healthcare providers to develop a plan that addresses their specific needs and goals and can help reduce their risk of long-term complications.

PCOS TESTING
PCOS cannot be determined by a single test. Diagnosis usually involves evaluating a patient’s medical history and performing a pelvic exam. Women with irregular periods may receive a PCOS diagnosis if their blood tests and physical symptoms indicate elevated levels of male hormones or if an ultrasound shows typical signs of PCOS.
Sometimes, women are diagnosed with PCOS after seeking help for infertility or recurrent miscarriages. Additional tests, like hormone level checks, may be necessary to diagnose PCOS. Your doctor will assess various factors, including clinical exams, ultrasounds, and lab tests, before providing a final diagnosis for PCOS. Some of these tests include:
- Medical professionals utilize blood tests to assess hormone levels in the bloodstream. These tests can measure several hormones, such as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estrogen (estradiol), and androgens.
- The utilization of ultrasounds is helpful in identifying the existence of cysts within the ovaries.
- As part of the PCOS diagnosis process, your doctor will inquire about your medical history and perform a pelvic examination.
- Endometrial tissue biopsy involves taking a small sample of tissue from the uterus lining to analyze and determine the cause of irregular periods.
PCOS TREATMENTS
The treatment plan for PCOS is customized according to each person’s specific needs. Implementing lifestyle modifications like maintaining a healthy diet, and exercising regularly can help in managing the general symptoms. However, in order to improve ovulation and improve the chances of getting pregnant, fertility treatments like; ovulation induction medication(like clomiphene citrate or gonadotrophin therapy)along with metformin can be necessary.
At Shishu Fertility Clinic, we work together with you to create a customized plan that considers your individual situation and assists you in reaching your objective of beginning or expanding your family.
Certain treatments for PCOS involve the use of fertility medications such as clomiphene citrate, which can help with ovulation, and metformin, a diabetes medication that can increase insulin responsiveness in women with PCOS and lead to more regular ovulation, ultimately improving fertility. Shishu Fertility Clinic boasts the highest likelihood of achieving pregnancy in one cycle compared to other fertility treatments.
