Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) Treatment in Minnesota: Physician-Led Hormonal Care

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is more than just irregular periods—it’s a metabolic and hormonal condition that affects your energy, weight, and fertility. At Lite Medical, we treat the root cause to restore your balance and health.

What Is PCOS?

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine disorders, affecting up to 10% of women. It is characterized by an imbalance of reproductive hormones, which can create problems in the ovaries. However, PCOS is often driven by metabolic issues like insulin resistance. This means standard advice like ‘just lose weight’ rarely works. At Lite Medical, Dr. Kyle Kingsley uses advanced diagnostics to understand your unique hormonal profile and create a medical plan that targets the underlying metabolic dysfunction.

What Causes PCOS?

While the exact cause isn’t fully understood, several factors can contribute:

Insulin Resistance

Up to 70% of women with PCOS have insulin resistance, meaning their body produces excess insulin, which triggers the ovaries to produce more testosterone.

Genetics

PCOS often runs in families, suggesting a genetic link to how the body processes hormones and sugar.

Hormonal Imbalances

Elevated levels of androgens (like testosterone) can prevent ovulation and cause symptoms like acne or excess hair growth.

Chronic Inflammation

Low-grade inflammation stimulates polycystic ovaries to produce androgens, worsening heart and metabolic health risks.

Common Symptoms of PCOS

Women with PCOS may experience:

Lifestyle Support at Home

Certain daily habits can help manage PCOS naturally:

Balanced Nutrition

Lean proteins, fiber, and reduced refined carbs.

Movement

Exercise to improve insulin sensitivity and energy.

Common Questions About PCOS
Can I lose weight with PCOS?
Yes, but it often requires more than just diet and exercise due to underlying insulin resistance. Our medical weight loss programs target this metabolic block directly, making weight loss achievable.
Does PCOS mean I have cysts?
Not always. The "cysts" are actually small, immature follicles that failed to ovulate. You can be diagnosed with PCOS based on irregular periods and high androgen levels, even without visible cysts on an ultrasound.
How do you treat PCOS hair loss or acne?
These symptoms are caused by high levels of androgens (like testosterone). By regulating your insulin and balancing your hormones, we can reduce androgen production and improve skin and hair health.
Is there a cure for PCOS?
While there is no "cure," PCOS is highly manageable. With the right combination of metabolic support, hormone optimization, and lifestyle changes, most women can live symptom-free.
