Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder that affects women of reproductive age. It is characterized by the growth of small cysts on the ovaries, which can lead to irregular periods, infertility, and other health problems. The exact cause of PCOS is not fully understood, but it is believed to be related to an imbalance of hormones, including insulin, testosterone, and estrogen. At our hospital, there are several treatments available for PCOS, depending on the symptoms and severity of the condition. These may include lifestyle changes, such as weight loss and exercise, to improve insulin sensitivity and regulate hormone levels. Medications, such as birth control pills, anti-androgen medications, and insulin-sensitizing drugs, may also be prescribed to manage symptoms. In addition, fertility treatments, such as ovulation induction medications and assisted reproductive technologies, may be recommended for women with PCOS who are having difficulty getting pregnant.
