Can You Get Pregnant With PCOS? What Treatment Is Required?
Posted on Aug 21, 2009 | Comments 11
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome or PCOS is the leading cause of infertility among women the world over and is the most common hormonal imbalances among women (affecting as many as 5% of women).
Polycystic ovaries are those that develop more follicles than normal every month, most of which enlarge and ripen but do not release an egg.
However not all women with polycystic ovaries have the polycystic ovarian syndrome, which develops when the hormonal balance goes off kilter and in many cases the process of ovulation either does not occur or happens very irregularly.
Since ovulation is absent or very irregular (anovulation) in many women with PCOS, those women are usually unable to get pregnant when suffering from the condition.
However not all women with PCOS suffer from infertility. Such women can take ovulation stimulation treatment which can include diet and lifestyle modification and weight loss as well as medications including clomiphene and metformin treatments.
Sometimes surgery in the form of laparoscopy can also be performed where the polycystic ovaries are ‘drilled’, after which spontaneous ovulation can resume; which is not however a procedure that can guarantee this. There actually is no comprehensive ‘cure’ for PCOS however the other symptoms of syndrome can be addressed.

Ganga please do not worry. I have PCOS and have for many years. I also have type 2 diabetes and very erratic periods. My new doctor has assured me that with the proper meds I should be able to concieve (I have been married for 13 years and no natural pregnancy) and that with ladies like us it just takes some more work. It may take many different attempts but we are sure we will manage it. The worst thing you can do is become stressed
The best thing is to find a doctor you trust and be honest with them. There are many options. The best of luck to you.
No matter what your health status, age or level of fitness you can do something to exercise your body and mind enough to maintain a decent level of immune function, vital organ strength and systemic protection. Even moderate exercise such as walking or swimming for 30 minutes each day, or weight bearing exercise such as gym work are all extremely beneficial.
