PCOS
PCOS, or Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, is a constellation of symptoms characterised by two of the three criteria:
1- Multiple small cysts on the ovaries are visible via ultrasound.
2- Irregular periods
3- Signs of hyperandrogenism.
Other symptoms include infertility, Insulin resistance, and increased risk of cardiovascular disease and uterine cancer. It’s estimated to affect 8-13% of women in their reproductive years. Your reproduction and general health need to be diagnosed and treated appropriately. In your appointment with Dr Roonak, she will inform you about the current evidence-based ways of diagnosing and managing PCOS, and together, you will decide the best option for you.
