Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) Diagnosis & Treatment in Royal Palm Beach
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal condition that can affect menstrual cycles, fertility, metabolism, and overall well-being. At Gentle Birth Center OBGYN, we provide comprehensive PCOS diagnosis and individualized treatment plans to help you manage symptoms, restore hormonal balance, and feel your best at every stage of life.
What Is PCOS?
PCOS is a hormonal disorder characterized by irregular ovulation, elevated androgen (male hormone) levels, and changes in ovarian function. Symptoms can vary widely and may evolve over time.
Common signs and symptoms include:
- Irregular or missed periods
- Difficulty getting pregnant
- Excess facial or body hair (hirsutism)
- Acne or oily skin
- Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
- Thinning hair or scalp hair loss
- Fatigue or insulin resistance
How PCOS Is Diagnosed
There is no single test for PCOS. Diagnosis involves a comprehensive evaluation that may include:
- Detailed medical and menstrual history
- Pelvic exam
- Blood work to evaluate hormone levels and insulin resistance
- Pelvic ultrasound to assess ovarian appearance
- Evaluation for related conditions such as thyroid disorders
- Our providers take a thoughtful, evidence-based approach to ensure an accurate diagnosis.
Personalized PCOS Treatment Options
PCOS treatment is tailored to your symptoms, health goals, and whether you’re planning pregnancy. Management options may include:
- Hormonal regulation (birth control pills, IUDs, or other therapies)
- Ovulation support and fertility-focused care
- Medications to improve insulin sensitivity
- Acne and hair growth management
- Lifestyle, nutrition, and weight management guidance
- Menstrual cycle regulation
Our goal is not just symptom control—but long-term hormonal and metabolic health.
Why Early PCOS Management Matters
Without proper care, PCOS may increase the risk of:
- Infertility
- Type 2 diabetes
- Heart disease
- Endometrial (uterine) cancer
- Anxiety and depression
Early diagnosis and proactive treatment can significantly improve outcomes and quality of life.
