PCOS is a hormonal disorder affecting millions of people and can affect your fertility if left untreated. At Road to Fertility, we provide expert holistic and functional care to help not only treat your PCOS but also identify and address the root cause of the condition.

What is PCOS?

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal condition impacting individuals with ovaries, usually during their childbearing years. It is characterized by elevated levels of androgens (male hormones), which can lead to the formation of ovarian cysts and disrupt menstrual cycles.

If you have PCOS, you might experience irregular or infrequent periods, and the hormonal imbalance can interfere with ovulation, making it challenging to conceive.

Additionally, the higher androgen levels could prevent the eggs within the ovarian follicles from fully developing or being released, making it difficult to become pregnant.

Managing excess hair growth can be challenging, but hormonal therapies can often help balance hormone levels and reduce hair growth.
