Our clinic specialises in providing comprehensive care and personalised treatment plans for women dealing with PCOS, empowering them to regain control of their health and well-being.

What is PCOS?

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder characterised by the presence of small cysts on the ovaries, irregular menstrual cycles, and elevated levels of androgens (male hormones) in the body. While the exact cause of PCOS remains unknown, it is believed to involve a combination of genetic, hormonal, and lifestyle factors.

Common Symptoms of PCOS

PCOS can manifest in various ways, and its symptoms can range from mild to severe. Some of the most common symptoms include:

• Irregular Menstrual Cycles: Women with PCOS often experience irregular periods, which may be infrequent or absent altogether.
• Excessive Hair Growth (Hirsutism): Elevated levels of androgens can lead to increased facial and body hair growth, known as hirsutism.
• Acne: Hormonal imbalances associated with PCOS can contribute to acne breakouts, particularly along the jawline, chin, and cheeks.
• Weight Gain: Many women with PCOS struggle with weight management, and obesity is often a contributing factor to the condition.
• Difficulty Conceiving: PCOS is a leading cause of infertility in women due to irregular ovulation and hormonal imbalances.
• Skin Changes: Some women with PCOS may experience darkening of the skin, particularly in areas such as the neck, groin, and underarms, known as acanthosis nigricans.
