Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects roughly one in ten women of reproductive age and is one of the leading causes of ovulatory infertility. It's characterized by irregular cycles, elevated androgen levels, and multiple small follicles on the ovaries.
While PCOS can make conception more challenging, it does not mean pregnancy is out of reach. Lifestyle changes — including weight management, balanced nutrition, and regular exercise — can restore ovulation in many women within a few months.
When lifestyle changes aren't enough, ovulation-inducing medications, IUI, or in more complex cases IVF can significantly improve your chances of conceiving. Your specialist will tailor a plan based on your hormonal profile and personal goals.
The key is early diagnosis. If your cycles are irregular or you've been trying to conceive for more than six months, a hormonal and ultrasound evaluation can identify PCOS early and open the door to effective treatment.
