As leading experts on PCOS, Doctors John Frattarelli, Anatte Karmon, and Emily Goulet have evaluated and treated many women in Hawaii and elsewhere for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) associated with infertility. They have given several invited lectures detailing the current research and treatment options regarding polycystic ovary syndrome.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder, which affects up to 6-10% of premenopausal women. Features include a lack of regular ovulation and excessive production of androgens (male hormones such as testosterone). Symptoms vary but can include multiple, small cysts (follicles) of the ovaries, irregular or absent periods, excessive body hair growth, difficulty with weight gain and infertility.
