PCOS
in Marseille

Dr. Yasmine Maazouzi offers comprehensive management for PCOS in Marseille — from hormonal assessment to personalised treatment addressing irregular periods, excess androgens and associated infertility.

Understanding PCOS

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is the most common hormonal disorder in women of reproductive age, affecting around 10% of them. It is characterised by a combination of irregular periods, signs of androgen excess (acne, hirsutism) and polycystic ovaries on ultrasound.

PCOS is not just a gynaecological condition: it is associated with metabolic risks (insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease). Long-term, multidisciplinary management is therefore essential.

What are the symptoms?

✓ Irregular or absent periods (oligomenorrhoea, amenorrhoea)
✓ Acne and excess facial or body hair (hirsutism)
✓ Hair loss (androgenic alopecia)
✓ Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
✓ Difficulty conceiving (infertility)
✓ Polycystic ovaries on ultrasound
✓ Fatigue and mood disorders
✓ Insulin resistance

What are the treatment options?

Hormonal treatment

  • • Combined contraceptive pill to regulate cycles and reduce androgens
  • • Progestins for cycle regulation
  • • Anti-androgens for acne and hirsutism

Fertility treatment

  • • Ovulation induction (Clomiphene, Letrozole)
  • • Coordination with ART specialists if needed
  • • Laparoscopic ovarian drilling in selected cases

Lifestyle measures

  • • Weight management: even 5–10% weight loss improves symptoms
  • • Regular physical activity
  • • Adapted nutrition: low-glycaemic index diet

Frequently asked questions about PCOS

Can I get pregnant with PCOS? +
Yes. PCOS is a leading cause of infertility but is very treatable. Ovulation induction is effective in most cases. Dr. Maazouzi will guide you through the best approach for your situation.
Is PCOS curable? +
PCOS cannot be cured, but its symptoms can be very effectively managed. Treatment is adapted to your goals: cycle regulation, fertility, management of skin symptoms or metabolic risks.
Does PCOS cause weight gain? +
PCOS can promote weight gain due to insulin resistance. Conversely, even moderate weight loss (5–10%) can significantly improve symptoms, cycle regularity and fertility.
