PCOS Treatment in Busan, Korea

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common hormonal conditions affecting women of reproductive age. Because symptoms vary widely, PCOS is often underdiagnosed despite its impact on menstrual health, fertility, metabolism, and long-term wellness.

At Seomyeon Glory Women's Clinic, our experienced English-speaking OBGYN specialists provide comprehensive evaluation using hormone testing, pelvic ultrasound, and individualized treatment plans to help regulate menstrual cycles, improve hormonal balance, manage symptoms, and support future fertility.

What Is PCOS?

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder that affects ovulation and the normal function of the ovaries.

Women with PCOS may experience:

• Irregular or absent ovulation
• Elevated androgen (male hormone) levels
• Multiple small ovarian follicles visible on ultrasound
• Hormonal imbalance affecting the menstrual cycle

PCOS is a long-term condition, but with appropriate treatment, symptoms can often be effectively managed.

Symptoms of PCOS

Symptoms vary from person to person and may include:

• Irregular periods
• Missed periods
• Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
• Difficulty becoming pregnant
• Acne
• Oily skin
• Excess facial or body hair (hirsutism)
• Thinning hair or hair loss
• Weight gain
• Difficulty losing weight
• Darkened skin patches (acanthosis nigricans)

Some women experience only a few symptoms, while others have multiple hormonal and metabolic concerns.

How Is PCOS Diagnosed?

Your evaluation may include:

• Medical history review
• Menstrual history assessment
• Physical examination
• Pelvic ultrasound
• Hormone blood tests
• Blood sugar evaluation
• Cholesterol testing
• Pregnancy test when appropriate
• Thyroid function testing
• Evaluation for other hormonal disorders

Diagnosis is based on a combination of symptoms, hormone levels, and ultrasound findings.

Treatment for PCOS

Treatment depends on your symptoms and whether you are planning pregnancy.

Your personalized treatment plan may include:

• Lifestyle and nutritional counseling
• Weight management recommendations
• Birth control pills
• Hormonal IUD when appropriate
• Medications to regulate menstrual cycles
• Treatment for acne or excessive hair growth
• Ovulation management
• Fertility counseling

• Long-term metabolic health management

Our specialists tailor treatment to your reproductive goals and overall health.

However, many women with PCOS successfully become pregnant naturally or with appropriate medical treatment. Early diagnosis and individualized care can improve ovulation, fertility, and pregnancy outcomes.

Without appropriate management, PCOS may increase the risk of:

• Insulin resistance
• Type 2 diabetes
