PCOS can cause irregular periods, acne, excess hair growth, scalp hair thinning, weight gain, and difficulty conceiving. Diagnosis usually combines menstrual history, symptoms, ultrasound findings, and selected blood tests. Treatment depends on whether the priority is cycle control, fertility, skin symptoms, or long-term metabolic health.
Many patients first notice delayed periods, skipped periods, or bleeding that becomes unpredictable. Others seek help because of acne, facial hair growth, difficulty losing weight, or trouble conceiving. The pattern can vary from person to person.
Diagnosis is usually clinical, supported by ultrasound and hormone-related blood testing when needed. Dr. Farwa looks at the full picture rather than one test alone, because menstrual history, symptoms, and fertility goals all affect the final treatment plan.
Management may include lifestyle support, cycle-regulating medication, acne and hair-growth treatment, ovulation-focused care for fertility, and follow-up to reduce long-term risks such as insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.
