PCOS - Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
PCOS is a complex hormonal disorder and affects women differently. It is the leading cause of fertility problems.
The main features can be some, or all of the following:
• Irregular periods
• Weight issues
• Acne
• Unwanted hair growth
As a Naturopath we treat the underlying causes to improve ovulation, metabolic issues and reproductive health. Conventional treatment is most commonly the contraceptive pill, to assist with lowering androgens and balancing hormones. Whilst this is sometimes effective, it does not come without unintended long term health consequences.
