Overview
* Polycystic ovary syndrome or disease (PCOS or PCOD) is the most common endocrine disorder in women. The prevalence of PCOD is conservatively estimated to occur in 6-15% of reproductive-aged women. For women trying to conceive a child, PCOS is a serious, common cause of infertility - nearly half of all female factor infertility cases can be traced to PCOS. New medical insight into the disease has led to better and sensitive ways for accurate diagnosis, and allowed many treatment options, including insulin-reducing ovulation medication (Metformin or Glucophage ), dietary changes (low glycaemic diet) and surgery (ovarian drilling). These recent advances have proven successful and have allowed many women to overcome PCOS and conceive a child naturally, while reducing the risk of miscarriage. Women who undergo treatment for PCOS but are still unable to conceive naturally often turn to assisted reproductive technologies, including IVF/ICSI, and experience high pregnancy success rates.

* At Ganin Fertility Center (GFC), Dr Hosam Zaki team focus in this common, yet often misunderstood cause of infertility. We work closely with each patient to understand her specific medical case and personal goals, including weight loss, pregnancy or improving general health, and develop a holistic approach to reach those goals. Oftentimes, the road to overcoming PCOS is not an easy one and it takes a strong commitment from both the patient and the physician. The team at GFC is committed to supporting our patients every step of the way.
