With Dr. Rabito, you’ll find trusted, individualized care for PCOS and other reproductive health concerns.
Irregular Or Very Light Periods
When your periods become less frequent, highly irregular, or extremely light, it may be due to a disruption in ovulation. With PCOS, your ovaries may not release eggs regularly, which directly affects your cycle and can interfere with your fertility.
Frequent Ovarian Cysts Or Enlarged Ovaries
You might not notice cysts on your own, but if you’ve had imaging done for pelvic pain or irregular periods, your doctor may have spotted enlarged ovaries or multiple cysts. These are hallmark signs of PCOS and can contribute to other symptoms, including hormonal imbalance.
Stubborn Acne
PCOS-related acne often resists typical over-the-counter treatments. You may find breakouts occur around your chin, jawline, or cheeks and persist no matter what products you try. This is typically driven by higher-than-normal androgen levels.
Unwanted Body Hair
If you’ve noticed excess hair growing on your stomach, chest, or back, this can also be related to those elevated androgens. This symptom, called hirsutism, can affect your confidence and feel difficult to manage without a targeted hormonal treatment plan.
Weight Gain Or Belly Bloating
Gaining weight around your abdomen—despite your best efforts to eat well and stay active—may be a sign of PCOS. Many women with the condition also experience bloating or digestive discomfort, often tied to insulin resistance and inflammation.
Thinning Hair
You might be losing hair at the crown or noticing an overall decrease in volume. Thinning hair, sometimes resembling male-pattern baldness, can be one of the more distressing symptoms of PCOS but is manageable with proper treatment.
Infertility Concerns
If you’ve been trying to conceive without success, PCOS may be a factor. Because the condition often affects ovulation, it’s a leading cause of infertility in women—but with timely treatment, many people go on to conceive successfully.
