Symptoms of PCOS

  • Irregular, infrequent or missed periods
  • Acne and excess facial or body hair (Hirsutism)
  • Thinning of scalp hair
  • Weight gain, especially around the abdomen
  • Dark, velvety skin patches on the neck or underarms (a sign of Insulin Resistance)
  • Difficulty conceiving

How PCOS Is Diagnosed

PCOS is usually diagnosed when two of these three are present: irregular periods, signs or blood tests showing high male hormones (androgens), and polycystic ovaries on ultrasound, after ruling out other causes. Tests may include testosterone, LH, FSH, TSH, prolactin, HbA1c or a glucose tolerance test, lipid profile and a pelvic ultrasound.

PCOS Treatment Options

  • Lifestyle and weight management: even a 5–10% weight loss can restore more regular cycles.
  • Metformin to improve Insulin Resistance when appropriate.
  • Hormonal treatment to regulate periods and reduce acne and excess hair.
  • Anti-androgen medicines for hair and skin symptoms, when not planning pregnancy.
  • Fertility support in coordination with your gynaecologist.
  • Long-term screening for Diabetes, cholesterol and Fatty Liver.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can PCOS be cured?

PCOS cannot be permanently cured, but its symptoms can be controlled well with lifestyle changes and treatment, and many women improve significantly over time.

Can I get pregnant with PCOS?

Yes. Many women with PCOS conceive naturally or with treatment to help ovulation. Planning ahead with your doctors improves the chances of a healthy pregnancy.

Why does an Endocrinologist treat PCOS?

PCOS is a hormonal and metabolic condition linked with Insulin Resistance and a higher risk of Type 2 Diabetes, so an Endocrinologist can manage both the symptoms and the long-term health risks.
