Almost 1 in 10 women suffer from PCOS, or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. Hormone imbalance and irregular periods are the most common symptoms, and living with PCOS can be physically and emotionally challenging — from embarrassing signs like hair loss, weight gain and acne, to infertility, which can lead to depression and anxiety. Dr. Lida Anwari, a leading gynaecologist and fetal medicine specialist in Dubai, offers exclusive treatment for PCOS with comprehensive diagnosis and compassionate, multidisciplinary care.
Book a Consultation WhatsApp UsPolycystic Ovary Syndrome is a medical condition that affects your hormones. The hormonal imbalance occurs when the ovaries develop excess hormones — usually high levels of androgens, which affect your reproductive hormones. Fluid-filled sacs containing immature eggs are often visible on the ovaries during an ultrasound scan, indicating a lack of ovulation.
Seeking specialised, compassionate PCOS treatment in Dubai with an experienced gynaecologist is a deeply transformative and life-changing step for any woman struggling with the confusing, daily disruptions of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
Multiple factors contribute to PCOS, but the common causes are:
A genetic component may cause PCOS in families — women with a sister or mother with PCOS are more likely to develop it themselves.
High levels of male hormones (androgens) prevent ovaries from releasing eggs, impacting menstrual cycles and causing excess hair growth and acne.
Increased insulin levels impact the ovaries and produce more androgen — a high level of androgen leads to the potential symptoms of PCOS.
Studies show that women with PCOS have low-grade inflammation that increases the production of androgens.
The symptoms of PCOS include:
PCOS symptoms may increase with obesity. If you experience any of the above symptoms, it's important to seek specialised PCOS treatment in Dubai.
Choosing the best PCOS doctor in Dubai will ensure an accurate diagnosis. After discussing your symptoms, Dr. Lida performs blood tests or ultrasounds to help with the diagnosis:
Based on your symptoms, medical history and other health conditions, treatment for PCOS includes lifestyle changes, medications, or a combination of both.
A healthy, balanced diet, losing weight if you're obese or overweight, reducing stress, and regular exercise all help manage symptoms.
Hormonal birth control, insulin-sensitising medicine, and anti-androgen medications for those not planning pregnancy; ovulation-inducing drugs like letrozole and clomiphene — or IVF — for those trying to conceive.
Laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) removes androgen-producing tissue in the ovaries, using laser or heat to destroy the tissue.
