PCOS treatment in Islamabad.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common hormonal conditions affecting women of reproductive age. It can influence periods, skin and hair, weight, mood and fertility. With the right assessment and a personalised plan, most women can manage their symptoms well. Prof. Ghazala Mahmud offers PCOS assessment and treatment at her clinic in G-8, Islamabad.

What is PCOS?

PCOS is a hormonal imbalance that can affect how the ovaries work. It is common and very manageable. The way it shows up varies a great deal from one woman to another — which is why treatment should always be tailored to the individual rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Common symptoms

Irregular, infrequent or absent periods

Difficulty conceiving

Excess facial or body hair, or hair thinning

Acne or oily skin

Weight changes or difficulty losing weight

Mood changes

Not every woman has every symptom, and symptoms can change over time. A proper assessment helps clarify what is going on.

How PCOS is diagnosed

Diagnosis usually involves a discussion of your symptoms and menstrual history, a clinical examination, and may include blood tests and an ultrasound. These help rule out other causes and build a clear picture of your hormonal health. Specific tests are decided case by case.

Treatment options

There is no single cure for PCOS, but symptoms can be managed effectively. A treatment plan is built around your particular goals — for example, regulating periods, improving skin and hair concerns, supporting weight management, or planning a pregnancy.

Lifestyle support — guidance on balanced eating and activity, which can meaningfully improve symptoms for many women.

Medication — where appropriate, medicines may be used to help regulate cycles or manage specific symptoms. These are discussed individually.

Fertility support — for women trying to conceive, targeted assessment and treatment can help.

Long-term health — PCOS care also considers longer-term wellbeing, with regular review.

PCOS and fertility

Many women with PCOS conceive successfully, sometimes with support. If you are planning a pregnancy, an early conversation allows a plan to be put in place. See also our infertility & fertility page for more on this.
