PCOS diagnosis and Treatment

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder common among women of reproductive age. It is characterized by irregular menstrual periods, excess androgen levels (male hormones), and polycystic ovaries, which are enlarged ovaries containing multiple small cysts.

Diagnosis: Diagnosis of PCOS typically involves a combination of medical history, physical examination, blood tests to measure hormone levels (such as androgens and insulin), and imaging studies (such as ultrasound) to assess the ovaries.

Treatment for PCOS is individualized based on the woman's symptoms, health goals, and desire for pregnancy.
