Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

At Elite Gynecology, we specialize in supporting women through every stage of life—including the diagnosis and management of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). PCOS is one of the most common hormonal conditions affecting women, and our goal is to provide clear, compassionate care to help you feel your best.

What is PCOS?

PCOS is a condition caused by a hormonal imbalance, often involving elevated levels of androgens (male hormones). This can affect your menstrual cycle, skin, weight, and fertility. Despite its name, not all women with PCOS have ovarian cysts.

Common PCOS Symptoms

Women with PCOS may experience:

• Irregular or missed periods
• Excess facial or body hair
• Acne
• Thinning hair on the scalp
• Weight gain or trouble losing weight
• Difficulty getting pregnant
• Skin darkening, especially on the neck or groin

If you’re noticing any of these symptoms, our women’s health specialists are here to help you get answers

How PCOS is Diagnosed

At our NYC gynecology clinic, diagnosis is based on a combination of:

• Your medical history and a physical exam
• Blood tests to assess hormone levels
• Pelvic ultrasound to look at the ovaries and endometrial lining

We know every woman is different. That’s why our approach is tailored to your unique symptoms and concerns.

Treatment Options for PCOS

While there is no cure, PCOS can be managed effectively with the right care plan. Depending on your goals—whether it’s regulating periods, managing symptoms, or improving fertility— options may include:

• Hormonal birth control pills
• Metformin to support insulin regulation
• Anti-androgen medications
• Fertility treatments
• Lifestyle counseling

We’re here to guide you toward lasting relief and balance.

Lifestyle Tips for Managing PCOS

Simple changes can have a big impact:

• Eat a balanced, whole-food diet with low sugar and refined carbs
• Move your body regularly—walking, strength training, yoga, or cardio
• Maintain a healthy weight
• Prioritize sleep and stress management
