Find out all about Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS): the leading cause of infertility in France, with gynecologist Dr Camilia KOLANSKA. This disorder, affecting 10% of women, manifests itself in menstrual irregularities, excessive hair growth and acne, due to a hormonal imbalance, notably a high level of testosterone.
PCOS is complex, involving a dysfunction of hormonal signals between the brain and the ovaries, often exacerbated by overweight. Despite this, PCOS does not equate to permanent infertility. A healthy lifestyle, moderate fat loss and hormone treatments can improve symptoms.
It's crucial not to confuse the presence of PCOS with absolute infertility.
For women with PCOS who have a fertility disorder, medically assisted reproduction options offer significant hope.
PCOS requires special attention due to its association with increased risks of diabetes and hypertension, especially in cases of abdominal overweight.
