PCOS Treatment and Care
Comprehensive, Holistic Care for Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
At Well Rooted Women, we understand that managing Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) can be a complex and frustrating journey. PCOS is one of the most common hormonal disorders among women, affecting everything from menstrual health to fertility, weight, and overall wellness. Whether you are struggling with irregular periods, cysts, hormonal imbalances, or fertility issues, we offer holistic, integrative treatments designed to address the root causes of PCOS and help you regain balance and health. Serving St. Charles, Chicagoland, and beyond, our team of compassionate providers is dedicated to empowering you to take control of your PCOS and improve your overall health and quality of life.
Understanding PCOS
PCOS is a condition where the ovaries produce an abnormal amount of male hormones (androgens), which can lead to symptoms like:
- Irregular Periods or absence of menstruation
- Ovarian Cysts
- Acne and oily skin
- Excess Hair Growth (Hirsutism) on the face, chest, or back
- Thinning Hair or Hair Loss
- Weight Gain or Difficulty Losing Weight
- Infertility or Difficulty Conceiving
PCOS is a hormonal imbalance, and while there is no cure, with proper management, the symptoms can be alleviated, and fertility can be restored.
Holistic Treatment for PCOS at Well Rooted Women
At Well Rooted Women, we take a comprehensive, holistic approach to treating PCOS. Our goal is not only to manage your symptoms but to address the underlying imbalances causing your condition. We combine conventional treatments with integrative and functional medicine practices to create a personalized care plan that works for you.
Comprehensive Diagnosis and Testing
To understand the specifics of your PCOS, we perform a thorough assessment, including:
- Hormonal Blood Tests: To evaluate your levels of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and other key hormones that influence PCOS.
- Pelvic Ultrasound: To check for ovarian cysts or other structural issues that may contribute to your symptoms.
- Insulin Resistance Testing: Since many women with PCOS also experience insulin resistance, which can affect metabolism and weight management.
- Thyroid Function Testing: Thyroid imbalances can mimic or exacerbate PCOS symptoms, so we test thyroid function to rule out any additional factors.
Personalized Treatment Plans
We offer a variety of treatments and therapies that are customized to help balance hormones, regulate cycles, and support overall well-being:
- Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT): Helps restore hormonal balance, alleviate symptoms like irregular periods, and manage weight gain.
- Lifestyle and Nutritional Counseling: Diet plays a key role in managing PCOS. We provide guidance on eating a balanced diet to support hormone health, reduce inflammation, and manage insulin resistance.
- Exercise Plans: Incorporating regular physical activity into your routine to help with weight management and improve insulin sensitivity.
- Supplements and Herbal Remedies: Targeted supplements, including inositol, omega-3 fatty acids, and spearmint tea, may help regulate hormones, reduce excess hair growth, and improve menstrual health.
- Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM): Studies have shown acupuncture can improve menstrual regularity and reduce symptoms of PCOS.
- Fertility Support: If you’re struggling with infertility due to PCOS, we offer fertility support treatments, including lifestyle modifications, ovulation stimulation, and more.
