PCOS & fertility treatment — Houston, TX
Polycystic ovary syndrome is the most common cause of ovulatory infertility. The encouraging part: because the core problem is usually irregular ovulation rather than egg quality, PCOS patients often respond well to treatment — frequently starting with ovulation-induction medication or IUI before IVF is ever needed.
If IVF is needed, PCOS brings a specific safety question: a higher risk of ovarian hyperstimulation (OHSS). Ask how a program adjusts protocols for it — the shift to frozen transfers exists partly for this reason.
