Polycystic Ovary Syndrome(PCOS)
diagnosisDefinition
A hormonal disorder characterized by irregular periods, elevated androgen levels, and multiple small follicles on the ovaries.
In IVF Treatment
PCOS is one of the most common causes of ovulatory infertility. Patients with PCOS often have high AFC and AMH and respond strongly to stimulation, raising OHSS risk. Protocols must be carefully chosen and triggered to minimize hyperstimulation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I do IVF if I have PCOS?
Yes. IVF is very effective for PCOS-related infertility. Protocols are adjusted to minimize OHSS risk, often using an antagonist protocol with a GnRH agonist trigger rather than hCG.
