PCOS Treatment and Follow-Up

What Is PCOS?

Polycystic ovary syndrome may involve irregular periods, ovulation problems, excess hair growth, acne, weight gain or insulin resistance. Diagnosis is not based on ultrasound appearance alone; symptoms and laboratory findings are evaluated together.

Treatment Goals

The plan changes according to the patient's priority: regulating cycles, reducing acne or hair growth, managing metabolic risk or planning pregnancy may require different approaches.

  • Cycle and ovulation assessment
  • Insulin resistance and metabolic risk follow-up
  • Management of acne and excess hair growth
  • Ovulation support when pregnancy is planned

Lifestyle and Long-Term Follow-Up

Nutrition, movement, weight management and sleep are important in PCOS care. Long-term follow-up may be needed for diabetes risk, cholesterol and endometrial health.
