Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

Pcos-Polikistik-Over-Sendromu

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common hormonal conditions affecting women of reproductive age. It can cause irregular menstrual cycles, difficulty with ovulation, metabolic changes, and fertility problems. At Saga Clinic Tirana, we provide a comprehensive and personalized approach to diagnosing and managing PCOS, with a strong focus on reproductive health and long-term hormonal balance.

What Is PCOS?

PCOS is a complex hormonal and metabolic disorder characterized by:

  • Irregular or absent menstrual cycles
  • Problems with ovulation
  • Elevated androgen (“male hormone”) levels
  • Polycystic appearance of ovaries on ultrasound
  • Insulin resistance or metabolic imbalance

The condition may present in different forms, and symptoms vary from woman to woman.

How PCOS Affects Fertility

PCOS is one of the leading causes of anovulation, which makes conception difficult.
Common fertility-related effects include:

  • Irregular timing of ovulation
  • Lack of ovulation in some cycles
  • Thin or unpredictable endometrium
  • Increased risk of early miscarriage (in some cases)

Early evaluation and targeted therapy significantly increase pregnancy success rates.

Diagnosis at Saga Clinic

A complete PCOS evaluation at Saga Clinic may include:

  • Detailed menstrual and symptom history
  • Pelvic ultrasound
  • Hormonal blood tests (FSH, LH, AMH, androgens, insulin)
  • Evaluation of ovulation patterns
  • Metabolic screening when indicated

We identify your PCOS phenotype to tailor the best treatment plan.
