class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>PCOS is associated with a number of causes that can also be the symptoms:<\/p><p><strong>Infertility:<\/strong><br \/>You may be going through a series of routine tests because you try to fall pregnant and it doesn\u2019t happen. A typical fertility investigation consists of diagnostic tests to check on your ovulation cycle and your gynaecologist may find that your cycle is affected by PCOS.<\/p><p><strong>Irregular periods:<\/strong><br \/>After you ovulate, the lining of your uterus sheds, and that causes your menstruation. But if your hormone levels fluctuate in irregular ways because of PCOS, you may have an irregular cycle (both your ovulation and your period). I often see the condition being associated with an absence of periods or with heavy periods.<\/p><p><strong>Cysts in the ovaries:<\/strong><br \/>A visual image helps me provide a clear diagnosis and we use medical imaging to get a clear view of the cysts you may have on your ovaries. Polycystic ovarian syndrome means that there can be many cysts; they are filled with fluid and may contain an egg that has not matured. These eggs do not follow the natural cycle and that is why they cause irregular periods.<\/p><p><strong>Hormonal symptoms:<\/strong><br \/>PCOS symptoms are driven and triggered by a hormone disorder. The symptoms you have may be different to what other women are experiencing. PCOS may cause acne or excessive facial hair growth. But in other patients, we see weight problems or baldness, and symptoms such as sleep apnoea. The first step as your gynaecologist for me is to understand your personal health history, so we understand what is going on.<\/p><p><strong>Risks of associated health conditions:<\/strong><br \/>Polycystic ovary syndrome is often linked to other health issues. That is why it is so important to take a holistic approach and look at your overall women\u2019s health. If you are overweight or you have a problem with obesity, the combination with PCOS may cause high blood pressure, sleep disturbance and even heart disease. PCOS and accompanying obesity may put you at risk of type 2 diabetes, stroke or metabolic syndrome. That is the reason why &#8211; as your gynaecologist &#8211; I may discuss avenues to lose weight with you, as part of a PCOS management plan.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-4c4d384 elementor-reverse-tablet elementor-reverse-mobile neg-margin elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4c4d384\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-3099709\" data-id=\"3099709\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-046f78f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"046f78f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>&#8220;Some women find that no matter how little they eat or how hard they exercise, it is impossible for them to shed weight.

prescriptions for one or several of the following drugs &#8211; medication should always be selected by your gynaecologist after a formal diagnosis and as part of a treatment plan:<\/p><ul><li>Birth control medication, sometimes used in this particular case to regulate your cycle.<\/li><li>Medication to regulate insulin levels and insulin resistance, also known to make your cycle more regular.<\/li><li>Weight loss medication can be used if you have trouble losing weight in a natural way.<\/li><li>Hormone treatment such as gonadotropins, which may be used to help you ovulate. in the
