PCOS care & fertility treatments
At the Southern California Center for Reproductive Medicine (SCCRM), we specialize in helping individuals with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) overcome fertility challenges and achieve their dream of parenthood. PCOS is a common hormonal condition that can disrupt ovulation, menstrual cycles, and overall fertility. With decades of expertise and access to advanced fertility treatments, our dedicated team is here to provide comprehensive care and personalized solutions for women with PCOS.
Understanding & diagnosing PCOS
PCOS affects the ovaries’ ability to release eggs regularly, leading to irregular ovulation or anovulation, which can make conception difficult. The condition is also associated with hormonal imbalances, insulin resistance, and the presence of small ovarian cysts. Despite these challenges, many women with PCOS can successfully conceive with the right diagnosis, management, and treatment plan.
Diagnosis and Evaluation
Proper diagnosis is essential to effectively manage PCOS and support fertility. At SCCRM, we use advanced diagnostic tools and evaluations, including:
Hormonal Testing: To assess levels of key reproductive hormones like LH, FSH, and androgens.
Ultrasound Imaging: To check for the presence of ovarian cysts and assess ovarian function.
Comprehensive Medical History Review: To identify patterns and symptoms associated with PCOS.
Treatment options
At SCCRM, we tailor fertility treatments to each individual’s unique needs and goals. Our options include:
-
We use medications like Clomid or letrozole to stimulate ovulation, helping women with PCOS achieve regular cycles and increase their chances of conception.
-
For some patients, IUI combined with ovulation induction provides a minimally invasive and effective fertility solution.
-
For women who do not conceive with other treatments, IVF offers a direct and highly effective option. This process bypasses ovulation issues and optimizes the chances of a successful pregnancy.
-
Since PCOS is closely linked to insulin resistance and metabolic health, we provide guidance on nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle modifications to improve overall reproductive health.
-
For patients with irregular cycles, hormonal therapies can help regulate menstrual cycles and prepare the body for pregnancy.
