PCOS Treatment

Understanding PCOS: A Holistic Approach to Treatment at Vitalize Wellness

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common yet often misunderstood hormonal disorder that affects millions of women worldwide. It can cause a range of symptoms, impact fertility, and affect overall health. Fortunately, with the right approach, PCOS can be managed effectively. At Vitalize Wellness, we take a holistic approach to treatment, led by Aleisa Carlson, WHNP, a women’s health nurse practitioner with over 25 years of experience.

What is PCOS?

PCOS is a hormonal imbalance that affects the ovaries, leading to issues with ovulation, excess androgen levels, and insulin resistance. While the exact cause of PCOS is unknown, it is believed to be influenced by genetic and environmental factors. This condition can impact a woman’s menstrual cycle, metabolism, and even mental health.

Signs and Symptoms of PCOS

PCOS manifests differently in each individual, but common signs and symptoms include:

Irregular periods or missed cycles due to infrequent or absent ovulation
Excess androgen levels, leading to acne, excessive hair growth (hirsutism), or hair thinning
Ovarian cysts, though not all women with PCOS have them
Weight gain or difficulty losing weight, often related to insulin resistance
Fatigue and low energy levels
Mood changes, including anxiety and depression
Difficulty conceiving due to ovulation irregularities
Skin changes, such as darkened patches (acanthosis nigricans)

How PCOS Can Be Treated

There is no one-size-fits-all solution for PCOS, but managing symptoms and improving overall health is possible through:

Lifestyle modifications, including a balanced diet and regular exercise to manage insulin resistance and weight
Nutritional support, focusing on anti-inflammatory and hormone-balancing foods
Hormonal therapies, such as birth control pills or other medications to regulate menstrual cycles
Supplements and herbal remedies that support metabolic and hormonal balance
Stress management, including mindfulness, yoga, or other relaxation techniques
Targeted medical interventions when necessary, such as medications to support ovulation in women trying to conceive
