Frequently Asked Questions About PCOS & Hormonal Imbalances
PCOS & Hormonal Care at Miami Women’s Center
What are the signs of PCOS?
Common signs include irregular or absent periods, excess hair growth (hirsutism), acne, weight gain or difficulty losing weight, and difficulty getting pregnant. Not every patient has every symptom, which is why a full diagnostic workup matters.
How is PCOS diagnosed?
PCOS is typically diagnosed when a patient meets at least two of three criteria: irregular ovulation, clinical or lab signs of elevated androgens, and polycystic-appearing ovaries on ultrasound. Bloodwork and imaging both play a role in confirming the diagnosis.
Is PCOS the only cause of irregular periods?
No. Thyroid disorders, extreme weight changes, stress, and other hormonal conditions can also cause irregular cycles. That’s why our evaluation looks at your full hormonal picture rather than assuming PCOS right away.
Can PCOS affect my ability to get pregnant?
PCOS is one of the most common causes of ovulatory infertility, but many patients with PCOS do conceive with the right treatment plan. Our infertility evaluation and support team can guide you through your options.
What treatment options are available for PCOS?
Treatment is tailored to your goals and symptoms, and may include lifestyle changes, hormonal birth control to regulate cycles, medications to manage insulin resistance, and fertility treatment if you’re trying to conceive.
Does PCOS increase my risk for other health conditions?
Yes, PCOS is associated with a higher risk of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular concerns over time, which is why ongoing monitoring is part of long-term PCOS care.
