PCOS

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder affecting women of reproductive age, characterised by irregular menstrual cycles, excess androgen (male hormone) levels, and polycystic ovaries. Symptoms may include weight gain, acne, thinning hair, and difficulty conceiving. PCOS is associated with insulin resistance, which can increase the risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and other health issues. Managing PCOS often involves lifestyle changes, such as a balanced diet and regular exercise, along with medical treatments like hormonal therapy to regulate periods and reduce symptoms.

PCOS Awareness Association is a non-profit organisation that advocates for polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).

What is a
PCOS Practitioner

Many different practitioners help diagnose and manage PCOS. A GP is usually the first step: they can diagnose PCOS using your symptoms, blood tests and sometimes an ultrasound, and coordinate your care. A gynaecologist or endocrinologist may help with complex symptoms, and a fertility specialist can help if you are trying to conceive. You need a GP referral to claim a Medicare rebate for a specialist. Dietitians and exercise physiologists help with lifestyle changes, and psychologists support emotional wellbeing.

How Can Practitioners Help With PCOS?

Getting a Diagnosis

PCOS can take time to diagnose because symptoms vary and overlap with other conditions. A GP will ask about your periods and symptoms, check for signs such as excess hair growth, and may order blood tests or a pelvic ultrasound.
Health Hunter

Periods and Fertility

Health Hunter
Irregular or absent periods are common with PCOS. A GP or gynaecologist can discuss ways to regulate your cycle and protect the uterus lining. If trying to conceive, they can check ovulation and refer you to a fertility specialist.

Diet and Exercise

Health Hunter
Healthy eating and regular activity can improve PCOS symptoms and lower type 2 diabetes risk, whatever your size. A dietitian can help build a realistic eating plan, and an exercise physiologist can design a program that suits you.

Skin and Mood

Health Hunter
Acne, excess hair growth and hair thinning can affect how you feel about yourself. A GP or dermatologist can discuss skin and hair treatments. PCOS is also linked with anxiety and depression, and a psychologist can provide support.

Long-Term Health Checks

Health Hunter
PCOS can raise the risk of type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and sleep apnoea, so your GP can arrange regular checks. If you become pregnant, tell your doctor, as you may need early gestational diabetes testing.

Complementary Care

Health Hunter
Some people try supplements or complementary therapies, and some find a naturopath helpful alongside their medical care. Let your GP and pharmacist know about any supplements or herbal products you use.
