Treatment for Ovarian Dysfunction PCOS

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder in women. The clinical manifestation of PCOS varies from a mild menstrual disorder to severe disturbances of reproductive and metabolic functions. Management of women with PCOS depends on the symptoms. These could be ovulatory dysfunction-related infertility, menstrual disorders, or androgen related symptoms. Normalization of menstrual cycles and ovulation could occur with modest weight loss, medication, and/or laparoscopic ovarian wedge resection procedure. In PCOS, anovulation relates to low-follicle-stimulating hormone concentrations and the arrest of antral follicle growth in the final stages of maturation. Chronic anovulation over a long period of time is also associated with an increased risk of endometrial hyperplasia and carcinoma.

Laparoscopic Ovarian Wedge Resection

This is an outpatient procedure done under general anesthesia. Recovery is usually 7 days.
