PCOS Treatment

Polycystic ovary syndrome management

About PCOS Treatment

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common hormonal disorders in women of reproductive age, affecting up to 10% of women. Garden OB/GYN provides comprehensive PCOS management including diagnosis, hormone regulation, fertility support, and long-term health monitoring. Our goal is to help you manage symptoms and reduce your risk of associated conditions like diabetes and heart disease.

What to Expect

Your provider will evaluate your symptoms, order blood tests to check hormone levels and metabolic markers, and may perform an ultrasound to examine your ovaries. Treatment is personalized and may include birth control pills to regulate periods and reduce androgens, metformin for insulin resistance, anti-androgen medications, and lifestyle counseling focused on nutrition and exercise. For women trying to conceive, we offer ovulation-inducing medications.

Who Is This For?

Women experiencing irregular or absent periods, excess hair growth, acne, weight gain, or difficulty conceiving — all common signs of PCOS. Early diagnosis and management are important for long-term health.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is PCOS diagnosed?

Diagnosis is based on a combination of symptoms, blood tests showing elevated androgens, and ultrasound findings of polycystic ovaries. You don't need all three criteria.

Can I get pregnant with PCOS?

Yes. While PCOS can make conception more challenging, many women with PCOS become pregnant with the help of ovulation-inducing medications or other fertility treatments.

Will PCOS go away?

PCOS is a chronic condition that doesn't go away, but symptoms can be effectively managed with treatment and lifestyle changes. Many women see significant improvement.

Does PCOS increase my risk for other conditions?

Yes, PCOS is associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and endometrial cancer. Regular monitoring and management reduce these risks.
