PCOS or polycystic ovarian syndrome is the condition where male hormones start overflowing in a woman’s body and this imbalance creates a cyst in ovaries that further leads to irregular or missed periods. However, in most cases, this chronic medical condition can be controlled through various treatments available yet 80% of the women suffering from PCOS encounter fertility issues. Additionally, signs of PCOS are not easily dateable and mimics other diseases and sometimes this health condition shows no symptoms at all.

Connection of infertility with PCOS

Irregular periods are the hallmark sign of polycystic ovarian syndrome. Some women with the condition may experience bleeding for several weeks and others may not have their periods for months extending up to a year. Hormonal imbalance leads to irregular or absent menstrual cycles in women suffering from PCOS. In PCOS luteinizing hormones are released at a rapid pulse that signals the ovaries to pump higher level testosterone (male hormones). This altogether impacts the ovulation and may invite fertility issues. If you are being diagnosed

with PCOS and have been trying to conceive for almost a year then you must visit a doctor as soon as possible. After evaluating the risks, doctors recommend different treatments to different women. However, it’s quite difficult for women with PCOS to get pregnant. However, with medical advancements, women suffering from PCOS also conceive. 

What can aid women in getting pregnant with PCOS?
