Polycystic Ovaries Syndrome – PCOS

Polycystic ovaries Syndrome (PCOS) can affect people in different ways and in varying degrees, PCOS is a condition where the normal function of the ovaries has changed. There are three key symptoms of the condition: your ovaries have many tiny cysts, your hormones are out of balance and you don’t ovulate every month.

At IO Life Clinic we can diagnose PCOS if you exhibit the main symptoms. There is no way of reversing the formation of these cysts, but if you’re diagnosed with PCOS, it is important that you get treatment to control your symptoms – particularly if the symptoms are severe and cause a lot of worry, or if infertility becomes an issue.

HOW IS PCOS DIAGNOSED?

  • Ultrasound scan
  • Symptoms such as raised waist hip ratio
  • Blood tests
