Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): Understanding, Symptoms, and Care

Published
Last Modified

What is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome?

PCOS is a condition that affects the normal functioning of the ovaries due to hormonal imbalances. Typically, it results in irregular or absent periods, and in some cases, multiple small cysts form on the ovaries. The condition often begins during adolescence but can develop at any stage of a woman’s reproductive life. It is important to note that not all women with PCOS will have cysts, despite the name.

It occurs when a woman produces higher-than-normal levels of androgens, or “male hormones,” which disrupt ovulation and other hormonal processes. This imbalance can lead to a variety of symptoms and health challenges, making early detection and management essential.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Statistics

PCOS is one of the most common causes of infertility in women, but it often goes undiagnosed. According to the NHS, more than half of women with PCOS do not have any noticeable symptoms, which can delay diagnosis and treatment. In the UK alone, PCOS affects about 10% of women, with its prevalence varying worldwide. The condition not only affects fertility but can also lead to other health issues such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and mental health problems if left untreated.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Symptoms

The symptoms can vary in severity and may develop gradually over time. The most common symptoms include:

Irregular or absent periods: Due to disrupted ovulation, women with PCOS may experience infrequent or prolonged menstrual cycles.
Excess hair growth (hirsutism): Elevated levels of androgen hormones can lead to excessive facial and body hair growth.
Weight gain: Unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight is a common symptom, and excess weight can exacerbate the condition.
Acne and oily skin: The hormonal imbalance often leads to acne, particularly on the face, chest, and back.
Thinning hair or male-pattern baldness: Hair loss can occur on the scalp due to high androgen levels.
Ovarian cysts: Although not always present, some women may develop multiple cysts on their ovaries, which can be detected via an ultrasound.
Difficulty conceiving: As PCOS interferes with ovulation, it is one of the leading causes of infertility in women.

PCOS and Fertility

One of the primary concerns for women with PCOS is infertility. The hormonal imbalance associated with the condition can prevent ovulation, making it difficult for women to conceive. In fact, it is one of the most common causes of infertility worldwide. However, with appropriate medical treatment, many women with PCOS can conceive and have healthy pregnancies.

At London Pregnancy Clinic, we offer a range of fertility treatments, including ovulation induction, hormonal therapy, and assisted reproductive technologies like IVF, to help women with PCOS conceive. Early diagnosis and intervention are key to improving fertility outcomes.

Long-term Health Risks

In addition to reproductive health concerns, PCOS can lead to several long-term health issues. These include:

Type 2 diabetes: Women are at a higher risk of developing insulin resistance, which can lead to type 2 diabetes.
Cardiovascular disease: PCOS is associated with an increased risk of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and heart disease.
Endometrial cancer: Women may have an increased risk of developing endometrial cancer due to irregular periods and prolonged exposure to oestrogen.
Mental health issues: Depression, anxiety, and poor body image are common, particularly those struggling with symptoms like infertility and unwanted hair growth.

Managing Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Although there is no cure for PCOS, the symptoms can be managed effectively through lifestyle changes and medical treatments. At London Pregnancy Clinic, we provide comprehensive care for women with PCOS, focusing on both short-term symptom relief and long-term health management.

Lifestyle changes: Maintaining a healthy weight through diet and regular exercise can significantly reduce PCOS symptoms. Even a small amount of weight loss can help regulate menstrual cycles and improve insulin sensitivity.
Medication: Hormonal contraceptives are often prescribed to regulate periods and reduce androgen levels. For women trying to conceive, medications such as Clomiphene can help induce ovulation. Metformin, a medication typically used for type 2 diabetes, can also improve insulin resistance and lower androgen levels.
Fertility treatments: For women with PCOS struggling to conceive, fertility treatments like IVF may be recommended. Our specialists work closely with patients to develop tailored treatment plans that maximise the chances of a successful pregnancy.
Cosmetic treatments: Treatments such as laser hair removal or prescription acne medications can help manage the physical symptoms of PCOS, such as excess hair growth and acne.

Raising Awareness About PCOS

The emotional toll of PCOS should not be underestimated. Many women with PCOS struggle with self-esteem, body image issues, and mental health challenges due to symptoms like infertility, weight gain, and hirsutism. At LPC, we offer support for the psychological aspects of PCOS, ensuring women have access to both physical and emotional care.

We are dedicated to raising awareness about PCOS and the importance of early diagnosis and management. PCOS is often underdiagnosed, but with the right care, women can lead healthy lives and achieve their fertility goals. We encourage women who suspect they may have PCOS to seek medical advice and take proactive steps towards managing the condition.

Diagnosing PCOS involves a combination of clinical assessments, blood tests, and imaging studies. During your consultation at London Pregnancy Clinic, your female GP doctor will assess your medical history, perform a physical examination, and conduct blood tests to measure hormone levels. An ultrasound may also be recommended to examine your ovaries for cysts and assess ovulation.

Final Thoughts

Ectopic pregnancy is a serious condition that requires prompt medical attention. Recognising the symptoms early and seeking immediate care can prevent life-threatening complications and preserve future fertility. London Pregnancy Clinic offers advanced early ultrasound services and expert care to detect and manage ectopic pregnancies effectively.

What is an Ectopic Pregnancy?

Understanding Ectopic Pregnancy: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment

Published
Last Modified

Causes of Ectopic Pregnancy

Several factors can contribute to the likelihood of such a pregnancy. The primary cause is usually damage to the fallopian tubes, which may prevent the fertilised egg from reaching the uterus. Conditions such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), often caused by sexually transmitted infections, can inflame and scar the fallopian tubes. Other causes include endometriosis, which leads to abnormal tissue growth outside the uterus, and prior surgeries on the fallopian tubes, which can leave scar tissue that obstructs the egg’s journey. Additionally, hormonal imbalances and certain congenital abnormalities in the fallopian tubes can also increase the risk.

Symptoms of Ectopic Pregnancy

Recognising the symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy is vital for timely intervention. Early symptoms often mimic those of a normal pregnancy, including missed periods, breast tenderness, and nausea. However, the first warning signs of an extrauterine pregnancy are usually pain and vaginal bleeding. Pain can be felt in the pelvis, abdomen, or even the shoulder and neck if the bleeding irritates the diaphragm. This pain can vary from mild and dull to severe and sharp. Other symptoms might include dizziness, fainting, low blood pressure due to blood loss, and lower back pain. If an ectopic pregnancy is not detected early, it can lead to the rupture of the fallopian tube, which is a medical emergency.

Diagnosis of Ectopic Pregnancy

Diagnosing an ectopic pregnancy can be challenging, especially in the early stages when symptoms are similar to a normal pregnancy. If a woman presents with symptoms indicative of an ectopic pregnancy, doctors will typically conduct an ultrasound to determine the location of the pregnancy. However, an ultrasound may not always be able to detect an ectopic pregnancy early on, particularly if it is too small to be seen. In such cases, repeated testing may be necessary. Blood tests for pregnancy that measure human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels are also used, as abnormal levels can indicate a non-intrauterine pregnancy.

Women’s Health Services Beyond Ultrasounds

The treatment for an ectopic pregnancy depends on its size and location, as well as the patient’s overall health. In some cases, if the extrauterine pregnancy is detected early and is small, doctors may use medication such as methotrexate to stop the growth of the embryo. The body then absorbs the tissue naturally. This non-surgical approach is less invasive but requires close monitoring of hCG levels until they return to zero. This can be done with a blood test which London Pregnancy Clinic offers.

For more advanced ectopic pregnancies, surgery is often required. Laparoscopic surgery is the most common method, where the surgeon removes the ectopic pregnancy and repairs any damage to the fallopian tube. In severe cases, where the fallopian tube has ruptured, emergency surgery may be necessary, and the affected fallopian tube might need to be removed. Following treatment, regular follow-up with healthcare providers is essential to ensure complete recovery and monitor future fertility.

Impact on Future Pregnancies

Having an ectopic pregnancy can affect future pregnancies, although many women go on to have normal pregnancies afterward. The risk of a subsequent non-intrauterine pregnancy is higher, especially if the woman has a history of conditions like PID or previous tubal surgeries. However, with proper medical care and monitoring, many women can conceive successfully. It’s important for women who have had an ectopic pregnancy to consult with their doctor before trying to conceive again to discuss the best timing and necessary precautions.

Preventing Ectopic Pregnancy

While it is not always possible to prevent an ectopic pregnancy, certain lifestyle choices can reduce the risk. Quitting smoking is one of the most effective preventive measures, as smoking is linked to damage in the fallopian tubes. Practicing safe sex by using condoms can help prevent sexually transmitted infections, which are a leading cause of PID and, subsequently, ectopic pregnancies. Regular gynecological exams and prompt treatment of infections can also lower the risk.

Emotional Support and Recovery

Experiencing an ectopic pregnancy can be emotionally challenging. It is not uncommon for women to feel a profound sense of loss, similar to that experienced after a miscarriage. Emotional recovery can take time, and many women find it helpful to seek support from counseling services or support groups. It’s important to acknowledge the grief and allow time for healing. Partners and families should also be supportive, understanding that the emotional impact can be significant.

The Importance of Early Ultrasound

Early detection is crucial when it comes to managing ectopic pregnancy effectively. At London Pregnancy Clinic (LPC), we understand the importance of early and accurate diagnosis. Our clinic offers advanced early pregnancy scans that can detect ectopic pregnancies as soon as they develop, often before symptoms become severe. These ultrasounds are essential in confirming the location of the pregnancy, whether it is intrauterine or ectopic. You can read on what to expect at an ultrasound scan on our blog, or watch our youtube video on this.

Ultrasound scans are a crucial part of early pregnancy care and can help ensure that your pregnancy is progressing normally. Here are the key points about when you should consider doing an ultrasound scan, especially in the context of monitoring for ectopic pregnancies:

When to Do an Ultrasound Scan

Confirmation of Pregnancy (6-8 Weeks): The first ultrasound is typically done around 6 to 8 weeks of pregnancy. This early scan confirms the pregnancy and helps determine whether the embryo has implanted in the uterus or if there’s a risk of ectopic pregnancy. It also provides information about the viability of the pregnancy, the gestational age, and the number of embryos (in the case of multiple pregnancies).
Early Signs of Ectopic Pregnancy: If you experience symptoms that may suggest an ectopic pregnancy, such as pelvic pain, abnormal vaginal bleeding, or shoulder pain, you should have an ultrasound as soon as possible. These symptoms can appear between 4 and 12 weeks of pregnancy. Early detection through ultrasound is crucial in managing ectopic pregnancy before it leads to more serious complications, such as the rupture of the fallopian tube.
Uncertain Pregnancy Dates: If your menstrual cycle is irregular or you’re unsure about the date of your last period, an ultrasound scan can help establish the gestational age of the pregnancy. This is important for ensuring that the pregnancy is developing as expected and for scheduling further scans and tests.
High-Risk Pregnancies: Women who have a history of ectopic pregnancies, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), previous tubal surgery, or other risk factors should consider an early ultrasound. This is particularly important if there are any concerning symptoms or if the pregnancy is achieved through fertility treatments, which can increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy.

How LPC Can Help

By scheduling an early ultrasound at LPC, you can ensure that your pregnancy is progressing normally and reduce the risk of complications associated with ectopic pregnancies. Our team of experienced specialists uses the latest ultrasound technology to provide precise and reliable results, giving you peace of mind and the information you need to make informed decisions about your care.

If an ectopic pregnancy is detected, our clinic offers comprehensive support and care, including personalised treatment plans and close monitoring to ensure your safety and well-being. We are committed to providing compassionate care and expert guidance throughout your pregnancy journey.

Understanding Gynaecological Ultrasounds

Gynaecological ultrasounds are essential tools in modern medicine, allowing for detailed imaging of the female reproductive system. These scans are invaluable in diagnosing and monitoring a wide range of conditions, from ovarian cysts and fibroids to early pregnancy developments. But what exactly does a gynaecological ultrasound entail, and how does it work?

A gynaecological ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the internal genitalia. Unlike X-rays, which use radiation, ultrasounds are considered very safe. The sound waves emitted by a small device called a transducer bounce off the internal structures within your body and are then converted into images by the ultrasound machine. These images provide a detailed view of organs like the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes, helping doctors diagnose conditions or monitor treatments.

Types of Gynaecological Ultrasound

At London Pregnancy Clinic’s Gynaecology Ultrasound Centre, we offer two primary types of gynaecological ultrasound: supra-pubic ultrasound and transvaginal ultrasound. Each method has its specific applications and advantages, depending on the area of interest and the detail required.

Supra-pubic Ultrasound:

Procedure: In a supra-pubic ultrasound, the transducer is placed on the lower abdomen, just above the pubic bone. For this type of scan, it’s essential to have a full bladder, as it acts as a ‘window’ that enhances the visibility of the pelvic organs.
Applications: This method is typically used to examine the uterus and ovaries from an external view. It’s especially useful for general pelvic assessments and monitoring pregnancy in its early stages.
Patient Experience: You’ll be asked to drink around two pints of water an hour before the scan and avoid emptying your bladder. The transducer, which is moved back and forth across your lower abdomen, may cause slight discomfort due to the pressure applied to your full bladder, but the procedure is generally quick and well-tolerated.

Transvaginal Ultrasound:

Procedure: A transvaginal ultrasound involves inserting a small, tampon-sized probe into the vagina. This method provides a more detailed view of the pelvic organs and is particularly useful when high-resolution images are needed.
Applications: This type of ultrasound is ideal for evaluating conditions such as endometriosis, ovarian cysts, or early pregnancy. It is also frequently used in fertility assessments.
Patient Experience: You will be asked to empty your bladder before the scan. The practitioner will explain the procedure, and you’ll be asked to give verbal consent. While the insertion of the probe might feel slightly uncomfortable, it shouldn’t be painful. The scan typically lasts about 15 minutes, during which the practitioner may apply slight pressure to acquire clearer images.

Gynaecology Ultrasound Centre Services

At our Gynaecology Ultrasound Centre, we are proud to offer a wide range of specialised gynaecological ultrasound services, tailored to meet the diverse needs of our patients. Whether you are monitoring your reproductive health, seeking fertility support, or addressing specific gynaecological concerns, our state-of-the-art ultrasound technology and expert team are here to provide the highest standard of care.

Follicle Tracking Scan and Baseline Scan

Our Follicle Tracking Scan (£150) and Baseline Scan (£120) are conducted by our specialist fertility sonographers. These scans are essential tools in fertility assessments and treatments, allowing us to monitor the development of ovarian follicles and assess the baseline condition of your reproductive organs.

Follicle Tracking Scan: This scan is used to track the growth and development of ovarian follicles, which is crucial for timing treatments such as IVF or ovulation induction. The scan provides detailed images of the ovaries, helping to determine the best time for conception or egg retrieval.
Baseline Scan: Typically performed at the beginning of your menstrual cycle, the baseline scan assesses the condition of your ovaries and uterus before starting any fertility treatment. It provides vital information about the endometrial lining and the presence of any cysts or abnormalities.

Pelvic Ultrasound Experts

We offer comprehensive Pelvic Ultrasound services (£260), utilising the latest 2D and 3D ultrasound technology. This advanced imaging allows for a detailed examination of the pelvic organs, including the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes.

2D Ultrasound: Our 2D pelvic ultrasounds provide high-resolution images of your reproductive organs, helping to diagnose conditions such as fibroids, ovarian cysts, and polyps. It is also a valuable tool in assessing the overall health of your pelvic region.
3D Ultrasound: For even greater detail, our 3D pelvic ultrasounds offer a three-dimensional view of the pelvic structures. This can be particularly useful in complex cases, such as when assessing the shape of the uterus or identifying congenital abnormalities.

Specialised HyCoSy Scan

The HyCoSy Scan (£550), performed by our consultant gynaecologist, is a specialised procedure used to assess the patency of the fallopian tubes. This scan is particularly important for women experiencing fertility issues, as blocked fallopian tubes are a common cause of infertility.

Procedure: During the HyCoSy scan, a contrast medium is introduced into the uterus and fallopian tubes. The ultrasound then tracks the flow of this medium, helping to identify any blockages or abnormalities in the tubes. This non-invasive procedure is a less painful alternative to traditional methods like HSG (Hysterosalpingography) and provides crucial insights for fertility planning.

Expert Hysteroscopy

For a more in-depth examination, we offer Expert Hysteroscopy (£1,780), conducted by our consultant gynaecologist. Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows direct visualisation of the inside of the uterus, making it an invaluable tool for diagnosing and treating various gynaecological conditions.

Procedure: During a hysteroscopy, a small, lighted telescope called a hysteroscope is inserted through the cervix into the uterus. This allows the gynaecologist to examine the uterine lining, identify abnormalities such as polyps or fibroids, and perform treatments if necessary. This procedure is often recommended for women with abnormal bleeding, recurrent miscarriages, or infertility.

Common Uses in Gynaecology

Gynaecological ultrasounds play a pivotal role in the diagnosis and management of numerous conditions. They are routinely used to:

Diagnose Uterine Fibroids and Polyps: These benign growths can cause symptoms like heavy menstrual bleeding and pelvic pain. Ultrasounds help in identifying their size, location, and number, which is critical for treatment planning.
Detect Ovarian Cysts: Cysts are fluid-filled sacs that can develop on the ovaries. While many are harmless, some can cause discomfort or signal underlying issues. Ultrasounds help in distinguishing between simple, functional cysts and more complex cysts that might require further investigation.
Monitor Pregnancy: From confirming early pregnancy to tracking the development of the fetus, ultrasounds are essential throughout the pregnancy journey.
Assess Endometriosis: This condition, where tissue similar to the lining inside the uterus grows outside of it, can be challenging to diagnose. Transvaginal ultrasounds provide a detailed view that can help identify endometrial tissue outside the uterus.
