Does Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Affect Fertility?

What is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)?

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a condition commonly caused by elevated male hormones in women, with possible influences from genetic and environmental factors. The exact cause of PCOS is multifaceted, involving genetic inheritance, dietary habits, and lifestyle. To address PCOS, adjustments to lifestyle and dietary habits are essential. Relying solely on medication increases the likelihood of recurrence. PCOS can even lead to female infertility, impacting your family planning.

The Impact of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome on Pregnancy

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) typically leads to menstrual irregularities in patients, causing irregular periods, absence of menstruation, or excessive menstrual bleeding. Even women in their prime reproductive years may lose control of their ovulation periods, inadvertently missing the optimal timing for conception. In severe cases, PCOS can even lead to endometrial cancer. PCOS causes an excess of male hormones in patients, resulting in difficulties with ovulation and poorer egg quality. It is recommended that patients begin improving their daily routines and paying attention to their dietary habits. In addition to addressing PCOS, healthy dietary habits can also contribute to nurturing eggs.

Fertility Recommendations for PCOS Patients

If you have regular sexual activity without contraception for 12 consecutive months but haven't successfully conceived, it is defined as infertility. Both partners should undergo fertility examinations promptly. After evaluating and receiving advice from a medical professional, consider whether to undergo in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. PCOS is currently one of the most common endocrine disorders affecting Singapore women. Artificial insemination or IVF treatments are viable solutions for infertility caused by PCOS. In cases where artificial insemination has been unsuccessful, PCOS patients need not lose hope. Despite PCOS causing an excess of immature eggs, this can be an advantage in IVF treatments. The physicians at RSMC Reproductive Center can select mature eggs, cultivate them into embryos using IVF techniques, and finally enhance the chances of pregnancy by selecting the best embryos through Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGS).
