Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a condition in which a
woman's ovaries and, in some cases the adrenal glands, produce
more hormones than normal. High levels of these hormones
interfere with the development and release of eggs as part of
ovulation, resulting in fluid-filled sacs or cysts developing on
the ovaries. Symptoms include: - Infrequent or irregular
menstruation - Pelvic pain - Increased and unwanted hair growth
or loss of hair - Difficulty to conceive Women with PCOS are at
a higher risk for diabetes, heart disease and hypertension.
There is no cure for PCOS, but there are many ways to
effectively manage it. Our team members will manage the
condition with medications, such as birth control pills, which
can help control the symptoms, regulate menstruation, reduce
androgen levels, clear acne, reduce cosmetic problems and
control blood pressure and cholesterol. Lifestyle changes such
as regular exercise can help with weight loss and reduce blood
sugar levels and regulate insulin levels. Surgical trea
