Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Polycystic ovary disease, also known as polycystic ovary syndrome, is a common hormonal condition in women of reproductive age, characterized by an imbalance that alters ovulation. It is usually accompanied by ovaries with multiple small follicles visible on imaging studies.

Common symptoms: Irregular menstrual cycles, increased body hair, acne, changes in weight, or difficulty conceiving.

When to seek guidance? In the case of persistent irregular periods or other signs like those described, an evaluation is warranted.

Which specialist treats it? The gynecologist is the professional who evaluates and follows up on this condition, and a general practitioner can offer initial guidance. Talking with a specialist allows you to understand what is happening with your hormonal and reproductive health, and to define support tailored to your situation.
