Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) Treatment in Johor Bahru

Sindrom Ovari Polikistik (PCOS)

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age, affecting 8-13% of Malaysian women. PCOS is diagnosed by the presence of at least two of three criteria: irregular periods, elevated androgen hormones (causing excess hair growth or acne), and polycystic-appearing ovaries on ultrasound. PCOS is strongly associated with insulin resistance and carries significant long-term health risks including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, endometrial cancer (from prolonged anovulation), and infertility if left unmanaged.

Symptoms of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

✓Irregular, infrequent, or absent menstrual periods

✓Excess facial or body hair growth (hirsutism) — upper lip, chin, chest, abdomen

✓Acne — jawline, chin, and cheeks, often adult-onset or persistent

✓Thinning scalp hair (female-pattern hair loss)

✓Weight gain, especially central obesity with difficulty losing weight

✓Difficulty conceiving (subfertility or infertility)

⚠️ When to See a Doctor

See a doctor if you have irregular periods (fewer than 9 periods a year), excess hair growth in a male-pattern distribution, persistent acne not responding to standard treatment, significant weight gain without clear cause, or if you are trying to conceive without success. Early diagnosis of PCOS allows intervention to reduce long-term metabolic and cancer risks.

Prevention Tips

1Maintain a healthy weight — even 5-10% weight loss significantly reduces PCOS symptoms in overweight women

2Follow a low-glycaemic index diet to improve insulin sensitivity

3Exercise regularly — 150 minutes per week of moderate aerobic activity improves hormonal balance in PCOS

4Avoid smoking — smoking worsens androgen levels and cardiovascular risk in PCOS

5Get screened for diabetes and cholesterol regularly — PCOS carries long-term metabolic risks

Frequently Asked Questions

Can PCOS be cured?▼

PCOS cannot be cured but its symptoms and long-term risks can be very effectively managed. Lifestyle modification (weight loss, diet, exercise) is the most powerful treatment for PCOS and can restore regular periods and improve fertility in many women. Medication is added when lifestyle measures are insufficient. Our doctors at Klinik Muhibbah provide comprehensive PCOS management. Book at movo-x.com/kiosk/muhibbah.

Does PCOS make it difficult to get pregnant?▼

PCOS is a leading cause of anovulatory infertility — irregular or absent ovulation means fewer opportunities to conceive. However, most women with PCOS can achieve pregnancy with appropriate treatment. Clomiphene citrate (an ovulation inducing medication) is highly effective. Our doctors assess fertility and coordinate referral to an O&G specialist when needed. Book at movo-x.com/kiosk/muhibbah.

What blood tests does Klinik Muhibbah perform for PCOS?▼

We perform a comprehensive hormonal panel including LH, FSH, oestradiol, testosterone, DHEAS, prolactin, thyroid function (TSH), fasting insulin and glucose (for insulin resistance), and lipid profile. This allows us to confirm the diagnosis, identify the hormonal imbalance pattern, and guide targeted treatment. Book at movo-x.com/kiosk/muhibbah.
