Understanding this area of care
A clear overview to help you know what to expect before your consultation.
PCOS is a hormonal condition characterised by irregular ovulation, elevated androgen levels (which may cause acne or excess hair growth), and polycystic appearance of ovaries on ultrasound — though not every feature is present in every woman. It is a clinical diagnosis based on history, examination, blood tests, and scan findings rather than a single test. PCOS is also associated with insulin resistance and metabolic changes in many women. Management depends on whether your priority is cycle regulation, fertility, acne and hair management, or long-term metabolic health.
Symptoms & concerns
Common patterns women describe — though every experience is individual.
- Irregular, infrequent, or absent periods
- Difficulty losing weight or central weight gain
- Acne or oily skin beyond typical adolescence
- Excess facial or body hair (hirsutism)
- Thinning hair on the scalp
- Difficulty conceiving due to irregular ovulation
Possible causes & context
Helpful background — a consultation helps clarify what applies to you.
- Insulin resistance affecting ovarian hormone signalling
- Genetic predisposition — PCOS often runs in families
- Elevated androgen production from ovaries or adrenal glands
- Low-grade inflammation linked to metabolic changes
When should you seek care?
If any of the following apply, it is worth arranging a consultation.
- Periods are irregular or you go many months without bleeding
- You have acne, excess hair, or hair thinning that concerns you
- You are trying to conceive and suspect ovulation is unpredictable
- You have gained weight and notice associated cycle changes
- You have been told you have polycystic ovaries on scan and want clarification
What a consultation may involve
Every visit is tailored — this is a general guide to what may be discussed.
Detailed menstrual, skin, and metabolic history
Physical examination including assessment for hirsutism and acne
Blood tests — hormones, glucose, and lipid profile when indicated
Pelvic ultrasound to assess ovarian morphology and uterine lining
Discussion of your primary concerns — cycles, fertility, or cosmetic symptoms
Individualised management plan with follow-up milestones
Treatment & management overview
Options depend on your history, examination findings, and preferences.
Lifestyle changes including diet and exercise form the foundation for many women. Medications may include hormonal contraception for cycle regulation, anti-androgen therapy for hair and skin, metformin for insulin resistance, or ovulation induction when trying to conceive. Long-term metabolic monitoring is part of ongoing care.
Frequently asked questions
Clear answers to common questions — for personal advice, please book a consultation.
Is PCOS the same as having cysts on the ovaries?
Is PCOS the same as having cysts on the ovaries?
Not exactly. Many women have polycystic-appearing ovaries on scan without having PCOS syndrome. Diagnosis requires a combination of irregular ovulation, clinical or biochemical signs of androgen excess, and exclusion of other causes.
Can PCOS be cured?
Can PCOS be cured?
PCOS is a long-term condition that can be managed effectively but is not cured in the traditional sense. Symptoms often improve with lifestyle changes and treatment, and many women conceive successfully with appropriate support.
Will I need medication for PCOS?
Will I need medication for PCOS?
Not always. Some women manage well with lifestyle changes alone. Medication is recommended when symptoms significantly affect quality of life, fertility is a goal, or metabolic risk factors need addressing.
Does PCOS increase the risk of diabetes?
Does PCOS increase the risk of diabetes?
Women with PCOS have a higher risk of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, especially with weight gain. Periodic glucose testing and lifestyle management help reduce long-term risk.
