IVF Treatment Under PCOS: What are the Chances of Success?

One of the most valuable experiences of life is to be a parent, to nurture and love our own. However, infertility is an issue that many people struggle with in this journey. There are around 48.5 million, or 15% of couples who battle with infertility.

One of the leading causes of anovulatory infertility is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome or PCOS in women. It is a hormonal disorder that disrupts normal uterine functions including the ability to conceive. It affects women of the reproductive age and is prevalent throughout the world. It is a common condition that affects 5%-20% of women worldwide.

One of the biggest consequences of PCOS is infertility. Studies show that almost 72% of women with PCOS reported infertility. Even though PCOS is not reversible, the inability to conceive is reversible.

Modern medicine has developed different techniques of intervention that lead to a successful pregnancy, and healthy and normal life for both the baby and the parents.

Let us look at what PCOS is and how it impacts pregnancy.

What is PCOS and How does it Impact Pregnancy?

The term PCOS is an issue that affects a lot of women. You might be familiar with the term as it has now become commonly known to all. There is an increasing awareness of this disorder, because of which women can diagnose the problem early on and find treatment.
PCOS or Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is a hormonal disorder that is commonly seen in women of reproductive age. Women with PCOS will have ovaries that develop follicles which creates a barrier to conception by preventing the timely release of eggs every month. Why this happens is still a mystery, but how to manage it is not. Even though there is no permanent cure for PCOS, it can be controlled and kept at bay, and you can lead a normal life.

Here are some of the symptoms of PCOS

Irregular periods
Heavy Period Bleeding
Unusually painful period cramps
Unable to conceive
Increased unwanted hair growth
Acne breakouts
Headaches
Depression and Anxiety
Darkening of skin in the neck, groin, and breast areas.
Weight gain and obesity
Thinning scalp hair

How PCOS Impacts Pregnancy?

There is a higher concentration of male hormone androgen in the system
Higher male hormone interferes with the growth of the egg, which lowers the chances of getting pregnant
PCOS prevents conception by creating follicles around eggs. Instead of the egg maturing, a follicle, or a fluid-filled sac is formed.
Ovulation does not happen, which leads to irregular periods and lower chances of conception.

How is polycystic ovarian syndrome treated?

Your healthcare provider will determine treatment based on your symptoms, medical history and other health conditions, and if you want to get pregnant. Treatments can include medications, lifestyle changes or a combination of both.

Does PCOS put me at risk for other health conditions?

PCOS has been shown to put you at a higher risk for several health conditions, including:

Diabetes
High blood pressure.
Cardiovascular disease.

Talk to your healthcare provider to make sure you understand the risks of developing these conditions.
