PCOS Care
Polycystic ovary syndrome can affect periods, skin, hair, fertility and long-term metabolic health. Women First offers thoughtful evaluation and an individualized plan—without reducing PCOS to a single symptom or number.
PCOS is diagnosed by looking at the pattern of symptoms and ruling out other possible causes. A visit may include a cycle and medical history, physical examination, and selected laboratory testing or ultrasound when appropriate.
Care may address irregular or missed periods, heavy bleeding, acne, unwanted hair growth, scalp hair changes, sleep, mood and the ways symptoms affect confidence and quality of life.
PCOS can affect ovulation and may be associated with insulin resistance and other long-term health considerations. Care can include pregnancy planning, fertility support, and practical monitoring based on personal risk factors.

Symptoms, priorities, health history and future plans are different for every patient.
