• Overview

    Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder affecting women during their childbearing years. It involves higher-than-normal levels of male hormones, causing irregular menstrual periods, ovarian cysts, and unwanted hair growth. PCOS can also lead to long-term health issues like diabetes and heart disease. Treatment options include hormonal birth control and the diabetes drug metformin to address the hormone imbalance and alleviate symptoms. PCOS can affect fertility and may increase the risk of metabolic syndrome, sleep apnea, endometrial cancer, and depression. Early diagnosis and lifestyle changes like weight loss and exercise are essential for managing PCOS effectively. Medications and timely consultation with the Gynaecologic Oncologist can further help regulate menstrual cycles and improve PCOS-related symptoms.
