OUR APPROACH
Thoughtful assessment.
Personalised next steps.
Evaluate when appropriate
Depending on your history, the doctor may discuss relevant blood tests or imaging. An ultrasound report alone does not determine a PCOS diagnosis.
Plan around your priorities
Care may focus on periods, skin and hair symptoms, pregnancy planning or longer-term health. Treatment and lifestyle advice should reflect your needs rather than a standard package.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR CARE
Understanding your symptoms. Planning care around your goals.
Looking at the whole picture
Irregular cycles, acne, changes in facial or body hair and difficulty conceiving may be discussed together with your medical history. Similar symptoms can have other causes, so assessment is not based on one symptom or scan alone.
Bring cycle dates, previous hormone tests and ultrasound reports if available.
Investigations with a purpose
The doctor may recommend tests to understand hormonal concerns or exclude other causes. Metabolic health, including blood sugar, may also be considered according to your history and risk factors.
Ask what each test is intended to clarify; you do not need to arrange a broad hormone panel before your visit.
A plan for periods and symptoms
Management can focus on cycle patterns, acne or hair concerns, and your longer-term health. Medicine choices depend on your symptoms, other conditions and whether you are planning a pregnancy.
Discuss what improvement to expect, possible side effects and when the plan should be reviewed.
Lifestyle and emotional wellbeing
Food habits, activity, sleep and emotional wellbeing are part of the conversation. Changes should be practical for your daily routine and health needs.
PCOS symptoms can affect confidence and mood. Share these concerns so they can be included in your care plan.
Pregnancy goals and follow-up
If you are trying to conceive, the discussion may include ovulation, your partner’s evaluation and whether further fertility assessment is appropriate. If pregnancy is not currently your goal, discuss suitable contraception.
Keep a record of cycles and symptom changes to help assess how the plan is working.

Read the first-visit guide →YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
A little more clarity.
Does a scan showing polycystic ovaries mean I have PCOS?
Not by itself. PCOS is assessed using your clinical history and relevant findings; some people with PCOS do not have polycystic ovaries.
Does PCOS mean I cannot get pregnant?
No. PCOS can affect ovulation, but pregnancy is possible. Discuss your plans so the evaluation and advice are appropriate.
Can PCOS be permanently cured?
There is no established cure for PCOS. Individualised management can help address symptoms and support longer-term health.
Does an ultrasound alone confirm PCOS?
No. Assessment brings together your symptoms, history and relevant findings, while considering other possible causes. The doctor will explain whether further tests are needed.
Do I need to do hormone tests before visiting?
Bring any existing reports. New tests are best chosen after a consultation, because the type and timing depend on the concern being assessed.
What if I am planning pregnancy?
Tell the doctor at the start of the visit. Pregnancy goals affect which medicines and investigations may be appropriate.
