PCOS & Infertility
PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) is a common condition that affects hormone levels in women. It causes the body to produce more male hormones than usual, which can lead to irregular or missed periods and make it harder to get pregnant.
Although there is no cure for PCOS, there are effective treatments available to help manage symptoms.
More Information
What Is PCOS and How Does It Affect Fertility?
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal condition that affects women of childbearing age. It often leads to:
Irregular periods
Higher levels of male hormones (androgens)
Polycystic ovaries (enlarged ovaries with small fluid-filled sacs)
PCOS can make it harder to get pregnant because it can stop the body from ovulating regularly, which is key to natural conception.
Can PCOS and Infertility Be Treated?
PCOS cannot be cured, but it can be managed. With the right approach, many women with PCOS go on to conceive successfully. Treatment may include:
Lifestyle changes (healthy eating and exercise)
Hormone-regulating medications
Fertility treatments such as ovulation induction or IVF
Every treatment plan is tailored to your needs, depending on your symptoms and overall health.
Are There Natural Ways to Manage PCOS?
Yes. Making certain lifestyle changes can improve your symptoms and boost your chances of conceiving:
Eat a balanced, low-sugar diet
Get regular exercise
Manage your weight
Consider safe supplements such as inositol or omega-3 fatty acids (with medical advice)
Always check with a healthcare professional before starting natural remedies.
What Are the Treatment Options?
PCOS and infertility treatment often involves a combination of:
Oral medications to regulate hormone levels and restart ovulation
Injectable hormones for advanced fertility support
Lifestyle improvements to support long-term hormonal balance
In some cases, IVF or other assisted reproductive technologies may be needed.
