DUBAI, United Arab Emirates-Wednesday 11 September 2019 [ AETOS Wire ]
Polycystic
Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is among the most common causes of infertility
among women in the UAE. In order to address this issue, during the ‘PCOS
Awareness Month’ in September, Fakih IVF is looking to reach out to all
women by providing them with services that would educate them more on
the subject.
PCOS is the
most common endocrinopathy (hormonal disturbance) affecting reproductive
aged women, with a prevalence of between 8 percent and 30 percent
depending on the population studied. The frequency of the condition is
relatively higher in the region mainly due to hereditary, ethnic and
lifestyle influences.
Dr Michael
Fakih, medical director of Fakih IVF said, “The root cause of PCOS is a
significant amount of hormonal imbalance, with its symptoms severely
impacting a woman’s self-confidence. At Fakih IVF our staff is equipped
with the best expertise and resources to help fight all factors leading
to infertility, while ensuring every woman gets the best medical
treatment.”
Approximately
25-30 percent of women in the GCC of Middle Eastern and South Asian
origin are known to suffer from PCOS. To better cater to this section of
women, Fakih IVF will also be offering fertility checkups including
consultations, AMH test & ultrasound all month long.
Dr Monikaa
Chawla, MD FRCOG (UK) Consultant Reproductive Endocrinologist and
Infertility – (OB & GYN) said, “PCOS can be complex causing drastic
variations in the reproductive, metabolic and psychological features.
Infertility is the most prevalent presenting feature of PCOS with an
estimate 75 percent of these women suffering infertility due to
anovulation.”
“Lifestyle
modifications which includes a nutritious and carb-controlled diet,
coupled with physical exercise, are the first-line treatment options for
adolescent girls and women with PCOS,” added Dr Chawla.
The condition
can occur at any age, but is highly prevalent among adolescent girls
particularly battling weight issues. The symptoms associated with this
condition vary, but are most commonly known to cause irregular or absent
menstrual periods, hirsutism or increased hair growth, alopecia or
baldness, oily skin leading to acne, weight related issues, infertility
or difficulty in getting pregnant.
Fakih IVF
Fertility Center is one of the leading Infertility, Gynecology,
Obstetrics, Genetics and IVF centers in the GCC region with centers in
Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and Dubai. With several state-of-the-art technologies,
the center is continually advancing in the field of reproductive
