PCOS
Irregular cycles, stubborn breakouts, unwanted hair? PCOS is common — and manageable.
What we treat
Who it's for & what we treat
Polycystic ovary syndrome affects around one in eight Australian women, yet it often goes undiagnosed for years. Our GPs take a thorough history, arrange the right blood tests and ultrasounds, and build a plan that addresses your cycle, skin, metabolism and fertility — not just one symptom at a time.
- Symptom assessment & diagnosis
- Blood tests & ultrasound referrals
- Cycle regulation & hormonal management
- Skin, hair & metabolic support
- Fertility planning when you're ready
- Ongoing care plans
The consult
What happens in the consult
We review your cycle history, skin changes, weight patterns and any fertility goals.
Your GP arranges the appropriate blood tests and, if needed, a pelvic ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis.
You leave with a clear plan — which may include lifestyle guidance, hormonal treatment and a pathway for ongoing review.
