What's Behind It

What's Behind PCOS Symptoms

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal condition that affects ovulation, metabolism, and often insulin sensitivity. It's one of the most common — and most under-treated — hormonal conditions in women.

Because PCOS touches so many systems, symptoms vary widely from person to person, and a one-size-fits-all approach rarely works.

Common PCOS Symptoms

Irregular or missed periods
Difficulty losing weight or unexplained weight gain
Acne or oily skin
Excess hair growth (face, chest) or thinning scalp hair
Insulin resistance or blood sugar swings
Difficulty conceiving
How We Approach It

Treating the Whole Hormonal Picture

PCOS management starts with labs — hormones, insulin, and metabolic markers — to understand your specific pattern. Treatment is then built around what's actually driving your symptoms.

Physician Insight

"PCOS isn't just a fertility issue — it's a whole-body hormonal and metabolic condition. Treating only one symptom, like the missed periods, usually leaves the rest untouched."

★★★★★

“Dr. Abbott and staff are amazing! Such a caring and knowledgeable doctor. Danielle and Shaylee, everyone is wonderful. I’d leave ten stars if I could.”

Common Questions

PCOS FAQs

What patients ask most before their first appointment.

Common signs include irregular or missed periods, difficulty losing weight, acne, excess hair growth, thinning scalp hair, and insulin resistance. Not every patient has every symptom, which is part of why PCOS is often under-diagnosed.
Yes. While birth control is one common approach, it doesn't address the underlying hormonal and metabolic imbalance. We build plans around your labs — which may include bio-identical hormone therapy, insulin management, and lifestyle support.
Yes, significantly. Insulin resistance is common in PCOS and can make weight loss much harder than standard diet and exercise approaches alone. Addressing the underlying hormonal and metabolic picture makes a real difference.
