Treatment hierarchy for pcos :

• 1st line– treatment with pcos initially includes the use of ovulation induction drugs (Clomiphene citrate or Letrozole) to induce mono- or bi follicular ovulation because the ovulation is either abscent or defective.
• Second-line treatments – – Other therapeutic modalities such as exogenous gonadotropins or laparoscopic ovarian drilling or ovulation induction drugs with adjuvants such as Metformin
• Third-line treatment – – in vitrofertilization (IVF)

“There is a struggle everyday in girls/women suffering from invisible illness of PCOS”.

PCOS is not just about the fertility issue, it is a whole spectrum of disorder.

“Feeling exhausted all the day, not able to have good sleep at night, anxiety, depression, get rid of unnecessary body hair every day, frontal baldness, very difficult to lose weight, and after all these, nobody understands what I am dealing with.”

In nutshell, the choice of the most appropriate treatment depends on the patient’s age, presence of other factors associated with infertility, experience and duration of previous treatments and the level of anxiety of the couple. This is best suggested by your fertility specialist like Dr Ripal Madnani as she is many years of experience in treating pcos cases.

If you have any concern about the acne, excessive hair growth or irregular menstrual cycles and fertility is not the matter of concern then meet your Gynecologist in Abu Dhabi who can provide appropriate care for your individual concern.
