What to expect
A careful evaluation
Diagnosis and treatment begin with your menstrual history, symptoms, health priorities, and appropriate exclusion of other possible causes.
Clarify the diagnosis
We review your menstrual history, symptoms, medications, and prior testing. Laboratory studies and imaging are selected according to the clinical picture. We consider other explanations, such as thyroid disease, elevated prolactin, and certain adrenal disorders, before making a diagnosis.
Match care to your priorities
Treatment may include nutrition and activity changes, medication for metabolic concerns, cycle regulation, or treatment of androgen-related symptoms. We discuss benefits, possible side effects, and pregnancy considerations. When periods are infrequent, protecting the uterine lining is an important part of care, often coordinated with gynecology.
Plan for pregnancy when desired
If pregnancy is a goal, we help address endocrine and metabolic concerns and coordinate with gynecology or a fertility specialist when appropriate.
