At United Wellness, we recognize how challenging it can be to live with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). This hormonal condition affects many women and can lead to symptoms like irregular periods, fertility issues, weight gain, acne, and excessive hair growth. Our PCOS consultations are designed to help you understand your condition and develop a personalized treatment plan for improved well-being.
Why You Should Consider a PCOS Consultation
If you experience irregular periods, weight gain, acne, difficulty conceiving, or other related symptoms, our consultations provide expert guidance and support. We aim to identify the underlying causes of your condition and create a tailored treatment plan to address your unique needs.
1. Comprehensive Assessment:
We begin by reviewing your medical history, symptoms, and lifestyle to understand your unique situation and design an effective treatment plan.
2. Physical Examination:
A detailed physical exam will help assess symptoms such as excess hair growth, acne, or weight changes.
3. Blood Tests:
We may recommend a panel of hormonal tests to measure key levels like insulin and androgens to identify the root cause of your symptoms.
4. Ultrasound:
An ultrasound may be performed to examine your ovaries for cysts or abnormalities and better understand your condition.
We offer a variety of personalized treatment options:
1. Lifestyle and Diet Changes:
Nutritional counseling, regular exercise, and stress management to improve symptoms and overall health.
2. Hormonal Therapy:
Birth control pills or other hormonal treatments to regulate periods, manage acne, and reduce excess hair growth.
