PMOS Fertility Treatment in Texas
What is PMOS?
Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS), formerly known as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), is a common and treatable hormonal disorder among women who are of a reproductive age. A fertility assessment can determine whether a specialized PMOS fertility treatment is right for you.
What are the symptoms of PMOS?
PMOS symptoms often develop near puberty during the first few menstrual cycles; however, PMOS symptoms can appear at any point while a woman is of a reproductive age. Common signs and symptoms of PMOS include:
Irregular periods
Excess facial or body hair
Severe acne
Thinning hair
Weight gain
Darkening of the skin
Can I still get pregnant if I have PMOS?
Yes! PMOS is one of the most common – and treatable – causes of female infertility. A fertility specialist can help you pinpoint the causes of your PMOS symptoms and recommend a PMOS fertility treatment plan. Fertility treatments can help alleviate the hormonal imbalances caused by PMOS, thus, regulating your ovulation and increasing your chances of becoming pregnant. Ovulation induction and IVF are great options for those with PMOS.
What causes PMOS?
While the exact causes of PMOS are unknown, medical professionals suggest that PMOS may occur as a result of genetics or lifestyle changes, such as excessive weight gain. To get to the root cause of your PMOS symptoms, we recommend starting with a Fertility Assessment. During your assessment, our fertility specialists may suggest additional Female Fertility Testing to further diagnose your fertility issues.
