Polycystic Ovary Syndrome – PCOS

PolyCystic Ovary Syndrome(PCOS) causes hormonal disturbances, leading to problems with egg growth and release. Women with PCOS produce higher-than-normal amounts of male hormones. This hormonal imbalance causes them to skip menstrual periods and makes conceiving naturally difficult. PCOS symptoms include menstrual irregularity, excess hair growth, acne and obesity. The causes behind PCOS aren’t well understood, but it might involve genetic and environmental factors.

    What are the symptoms of PCOS?

    Irregular menstrual cycles

    Difficulty getting pregnant

    Overweight or Obesity

    Increase in facial hair and acne due to an increase in male hormones

    Does Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affect Conception?

    Women with PCOS have hormonal disturbances, leading to egg growth and release problems termed anovulation. In women with regular menstrual cycles, an egg is released every month so the chances of conceiving are around 20% every cycle. However, egg growth and release do not occur regularly in women with PCOS, affecting the chances of conceiving naturally. There are simple medications that facilitate egg growth and release. These medications are prescribed by a fertility specialist, helping women achieve pregnancy.

    Process of Conceiving if a Woman has PCOS

    In women with PCOS, hormonal disturbances affect egg growth and release. Hence, medications to facilitate egg growth to help achieve a pregnancy is necessary.

    Many PCOS patients have a good chance of achieving pregnancy once egg growth and release happen. However, it is important to do a workup and address other hormonal issues before starting fertility medication. Hence, it is important to meet a fertility specialist as we have at MotherToBe.

    A contraceptive is recommended to regularise cycles if irregular cycles are an issue and bring down male hormone levels. However, if you are looking at getting pregnant, one needs medication to initiate egg growth.

    Is PCOS Completely Curable? 

    PCOS is a common problem that causes hormonal disturbance seen in up to 5-10% of women of reproductive age. A significant proportion of women with PCOS are overweight or obese, which worsens the problem.

    The first step in the management of PCOS is a  change in lifestyle to help achieve weight loss as it reduces the symptoms of PCOS. If any other issues like infertility are detected, they must be addressed.

    When women achieve normal weight, their periods become normal too in most cases. The structure of the ovary is Polycystic, which means there are many small eggs in the ovary, which gives an appearance of being polycystic. Polycystic ovary on its own is not an issue if it is associated with regular cycles. If there is an increase in male hormones or unexplained weight gain, then PCOS needs to be addressed
