Polycystic Ovarian Disease Multidisciplinary Clinic
Polycystic ovarian disease (PCO) is a condition that affects a woman's ovaries, the two female reproductive organs that produce eggs and hormones. PCO causes a woman's ovaries to grow larger than normal and develop cysts (small fluid-filled sacs). The condition can result in infertility, unwanted hair growth, and the loss of menstruation. PCO affects five to ten percent of reproductive-aged women.
Specialists in our clinic treat the gynecological and hormonal problems associated with PCO. Our team includes a gynecologist, an endocrinologist, a nutritionist, and nursing professionals.
Services
Our services include:
- Comprehensive clinical, endocrine, and ultrasound assessment of PCO diagnosis
- Counseling about weight reduction and diabetes prevention
- Medical and surgical treatment of women with PCO for fertility problems
- Management with drug and surgical therapy to promote fertility, reduce hair growth, and promote normal menses
