Ultrasound in Diagnosing and Managing PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome)

Introduction:

Hello, Atlanta! At Atlanta Ultrasound, we're not just about celebrating new life but also empowering women through better health. Today, let's talk about how ultrasound plays a crucial role in diagnosing and managing Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), a common condition affecting many women in our community.

What is PCOS?

PCOS is a health condition that affects about 1 in 10 women of childbearing age. It’s often characterized by hormonal imbalances that can affect overall health and appearance. Women with PCOS may experience irregular menstrual cycles, excess hair growth, acne, and weight gain. More importantly, PCOS is a common cause of infertility.

How Does Ultrasound Help?

Ultrasound is a powerful tool in the diagnosis of PCOS. Here at Atlanta Ultrasound, we use state-of-the-art ultrasound technology to provide a clear picture of what’s happening inside your body. Here’s how it helps:

  • Detecting Cysts: Through a pelvic ultrasound, we can see the ovaries and check for the presence of multiple cysts that are typical of PCOS.

  • Monitoring Ovaries: Regular ultrasounds help in monitoring the ovaries and the effectiveness of treatments aimed at reducing cysts.
