Understanding PCOS: A Complex but Manageable Condition

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine disorders affecting women of reproductive age. It is estimated that 1 in 10 women experience PCOS, although many remain undiagnosed due to the complexity and variety of symptoms.

As PCOS experts, we approach diagnosis and treatment with a comprehensive lens, identifying not only the classic signs—like cystic ovaries, irregular ovulation, and elevated androgen levels—but also related metabolic and emotional symptoms.

Common Symptoms of PCOS Include:

  • Irregular or absent menstrual cycles
  • Excess facial or body hair (hirsutism)
  • Acne and oily skin
  • Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
  • Thinning hair or male-pattern baldness
  • Fertility challenges or anovulation
  • Mood swings, anxiety, or depression
  • Insulin resistance or prediabetes

Not all patients experience every symptom, which is why seeing a specialized doctor for PCOS is essential for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.

Our Comprehensive PCOS Evaluation Process

When you visit our Las Vegas clinic, our PCOS specialists conduct a thorough evaluation to determine the root cause of your symptoms. This includes:

  • Detailed Medical History : We discuss your menstrual history, weight fluctuations, family history of metabolic conditions, and lifestyle factors that may influence hormone health.
  • Hormonal Blood Work : We test for elevated androgens, FSH, LH, insulin, and glucose levels, thyroid function, and prolactin to rule out other disorders and confirm a PCOS diagnosis.
  • Pelvic Ultrasound : A transvaginal ultrasound may be performed to check for ovarian volume and the presence of multiple follicles—often described as a "string of pearls" appearance.
  • Metabolic Screening : Given the strong link between PCOS and insulin resistance, we screen for prediabetes, elevated cholesterol, and other cardiometabolic risk factors.

Lifestyle Counseling and Nutritional Support

Weight loss, even by just 5–10%, can restore ovulation and improve insulin sensitivity in many PCOS patients. We provide support and resources to help you implement sustainable dietary and fitness changes.

Hormonal Regulation

We may prescribe hormonal birth control to regulate menstrual cycles, reduce androgens, and protect against endometrial hyperplasia in women not currently trying to conceive.

Insulin Sensitizers

Medications like Metformin may be used to improve insulin response, promote ovulation, and reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Ovulation Induction for Fertility

For patients pursuing pregnancy, we offer ovulation-inducing medications such as Letrozole or Clomid. These treatments are carefully monitored for safety and success.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is PCOS diagnosed?

Diagnosis is based on the Rotterdam Criteria, which require two out of three of the following:

  • Irregular or absent ovulation
  • Excess androgen levels (bloodwork or physical symptoms)
  • Polycystic ovaries on ultrasound

A thorough evaluation by a PCOS specialist is essential, as other conditions can mimic PCOS.

Can PCOS go away on its own?

PCOS is a chronic condition, but symptoms can be well-managed with treatment and lifestyle changes. Many patients regain menstrual regularity and fertility with support.

Will I be able to get pregnant with PCOS?

Yes, many women with PCOS successfully conceive with the right care. Whether naturally or with ovulation support, your chances are good with a focused plan from a doctor for PCOS.

Is birth control the only treatment?

No. Birth control is one common treatment for non-fertility goals, but we also offer non-hormonal approaches, insulin-sensitizers, and fertility-focused options.

Does PCOS increase my risk for other conditions?

Yes. PCOS is linked with higher risks of type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, sleep apnea, and endometrial cancer if left untreated.
