Dr. Fowad Shahzad offers comprehensive evaluation and management for women experiencing symptoms related to PCOS and hormonal imbalances.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal condition that affects how the ovaries function. Women with PCOS may experience irregular ovulation, elevated androgen levels, and metabolic changes that can affect overall health.
PCOS is a long-term condition that can be managed. Care aims to improve symptoms and protect metabolic and reproductive health; a permanent cure cannot be promised.
The exact cause of PCOS remains unclear, but several factors may contribute to its development.
Changes in hormone levels may affect normal ovulation and menstrual cycles.
Many women with PCOS have insulin resistance, which can increase the risk of weight gain and diabetes.
A family history of PCOS or metabolic disorders may increase the likelihood of developing the condition.
Dr. Fowad Shahzad performs a detailed assessment to determine whether PCOS may be contributing to your symptoms.
A detailed review of symptoms, menstrual history, and overall health is performed.
There is no single test for PCOS. In adults, diagnosis usually requires at least two features: irregular ovulation, clinical or blood-test evidence of excess androgens, or a characteristic ovarian appearance on ultrasound, after other causes are excluded. A scan result alone does not establish PCOS. Tests may include androgen levels, thyroid function, prolactin and glucose assessment, selected for your history. Adolescent assessment differs from adult assessment; discuss this with your clinician.
Additional testing may be recommended to evaluate insulin resistance and diabetes risk.
Treatment is individualized based on symptoms, health goals, and overall medical condition.
Hormonal treatment strategies may be discussed when appropriate to help regulate menstrual cycles and manage symptoms.
Addressing insulin resistance can play an important role in improving metabolic health and reducing future diabetes risk.
Women with PCOS have a higher risk of developing insulin resistance, prediabetes, and Type 2 Diabetes. Regular monitoring and early intervention can help reduce long-term health risks.
An endocrinologist can assess hormone and metabolic concerns. A gynaecologist or fertility specialist may also be needed for reproductive symptoms or pregnancy treatment. Bring your priorities to the consultation so care can be coordinated.
PCOS can be associated with weight gain or difficulty losing weight, but weight alone does not diagnose it. Discuss your menstrual history and symptoms as well as weight concerns.
Yes. PCOS is commonly associated with insulin resistance and an increased risk of Type 2 Diabetes.
Yes. With appropriate medical care, lifestyle modifications, and regular follow-up, many women effectively manage PCOS symptoms.
No. PCOS can affect ovulation, but pregnancy is still possible. Discuss pregnancy plans before starting or changing medicines, and seek an individual fertility assessment when appropriate.
Bring a record of menstrual dates, previous hormone and glucose results, ultrasound reports, and your medicines and supplements. Note the symptoms that matter most to you and whether you are planning pregnancy.
