Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) Clinic Sydney
Your trusted PCOS Clinic in Inner West Sydney
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects 1 in 10 Australian women and is particularly common among women of childbearing age. PCOS can have a serious impact on the quality of a woman’s life, causing issues like acne and excessive hair growth, to mental health concerns and fertility issues.

What is polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)?
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal condition in women. PCOS occurs when an unusual amount of cysts (which contain eggs) form on the follicles of the ovaries. The condition can cause pain in the abdominal and pelvic areas, typically during menstruation.
PCOS is a complex condition to identify, as very few women have the same symptoms. Symptoms of PCOS may include (but are not limited to) weight gain, fertility issues, irregular periods, acne, anxiety or depression, and excessive facial or body hair. Polycystic ovary syndrome is often diagnosed with an ultrasound.
