PCOS is a hormonal disorder causing irregular menstrual periods, excessive hair growth, acne, and scalp hair loss due to elevated male hormone levels. It can also lead to challenges in weight management and increased insulin levels, affecting up to 8% of women.

Our treatment strategy is personalized, focusing on symptom management due to the unclear causes of PCOS. We use medications to regulate hormones, improve metabolic health, and enhance fertility chances. Lifestyle interventions such as diet changes and exercise are recommended to manage insulin resistance and reduce diabetes risks.

Dr. Domenicini’s team diagnoses PCOS based on a combination of symptoms and exclusion of other hormonal disorders through comprehensive blood and saliva tests. Our facility offers full diagnostic services to ensure accurate detection and effective management.

• Irregular or infrequent periods
• Symptoms of high male hormones (acne, increased body hair, and scalp hair loss) or high levels of male hormones on blood testing
• Cysts on the ovaries seen on a sonogram
