How Dr Rachael Knight at Stellar Fertility Clinic Melbourne Helps Women with PMOS Conceive

Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS), formerly known as PCOS, is a hormonal condition affecting up to 1 in 10 women of reproductive age. It causes a cluster of problem including irregular menstrual cycles, elevated androgen and polycystic appearing ovaries on ultrasound.

Common symptoms of PMOS include:

• Irregular or missed periods
• Acne or oily skin
• Excess facial or body hair
• Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
• Trouble getting pregnant

PMOS can range in severity and often goes undiagnosed for years.

A diagnosis of PMOS typically requires at least two of the following three criteria, known as the Rotterdam Criteria:

1. Irregular or absent ovulation
2. Elevated androgen levels (via blood tests or physical signs like acne or hirsutism)
3. Polycystic ovaries on ultrasound

Additional tests may be done to rule out other hormonal disorders, like thyroid issues or hyperprolactinemia.

PMOS is a leading cause of female infertility. It interferes with ovulation, making it harder to conceive. Even if ovulation occurs, hormonal imbalances and insulin resistance can make implantation and early pregnancy more difficult.

The good news? PMOS is manageable – and many women go on to have healthy pregnancies with the right support.
