PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) is a hormonal condition that affects the ovaries and the body's hormone balance. The condition can cause irregular menstruation, increased hair growth, acne, and fertility challenges, among other things.

At Lægerne Danmark, our gynecologists offer diagnosis, counseling, and treatment for PCOS with a focus on your overall health and individual needs.

PCOS is a hormonal condition in which the ovaries are affected by an imbalance in the body's hormones. The name polycystic ovary syndrome refers to the fact that the ovaries of some women may contain many small fluid-filled follicles, which can be seen on ultrasound scans.

The condition can affect ovulation, often leading to irregular or absent periods. At the same time, the body may produce increased amounts of male sex hormones (androgens), which can cause symptoms such as increased hair growth, acne, or hair loss.

PCOS is a relatively common condition and is estimated to occur in around 5–10% of women of childbearing age. However, symptoms and severity vary greatly from person to person.

PCOS can manifest itself in different ways, and not everyone experiences the same symptoms. Some women first discover the condition in connection with fertility testing, while others experience clear symptoms earlier.

Typical symptoms may include:

It is important to emphasize that symptoms vary, and some women with PCOS have few symptoms.

If PCOS is suspected, a gynecologist can perform a thorough examination. The purpose is both to confirm the diagnosis and to rule out other conditions with similar symptoms.

An assessment may typically include:

Discussion of symptoms and medical history
This includes reviewing menstrual patterns, previous illnesses, and any fertility wishes.

Blood tests
Blood tests can measure hormone balance and provide important information about the body's hormone production.

Ultrasound scan
A gynecological scan can show the structure of the ovaries and any signs of many small follicles.

The diagnosis of PCOS is usually made based on an overall assessment of symptoms, hormone tests, and scans.

There is no single treatment that cures PCOS, but in many cases the symptoms can be treated effectively. Treatment is always tailored to the individual woman and depends, among other things, on her symptoms and any desire to become pregnant.

Possible treatments may include:

A gynecologist will always assess which treatment is most appropriate in each individual situation.

PCOS can affect fertility because ovulation may be irregular or absent. However, this does not mean that women with PCOS cannot become pregnant.

Many women with PCOS achieve pregnancy either naturally or with the help of fertility treatment. With the right diagnosis and treatment, the chances of pregnancy can often be significantly improved.

If you have PCOS and want to become pregnant, a gynecologist can help you plan the next steps and assess which treatment may be appropriate.

At Doctors in Denmark, our experienced gynecologists offer specialized treatment with a focus on professionalism, safety, and quality. We help women through menopause with individual counseling, symptom management, and treatment.

Menopause is a natural phase of life that all women go through. This period marks the end of the fertile years and is caused by gradual hormonal changes, where the body's production of estrogen in particular decreases. These changes can affect both physical and mental well-being to varying degrees.

Menopause typically begins between the ages of 45 and 55, but the timing and duration vary from woman to woman. For some, the period lasts a few years, while others experience symptoms over a longer period of time. The most well-known menopause symptoms include hot flashes, sleep problems, and mood swings, but the symptoms vary from person to person.

Symptoms of menopause can vary greatly from woman to woman. Some experience only mild discomfort, while others have more pronounced symptoms that can affect both their daily lives and quality of life. The symptoms are caused by hormonal changes in the body and can vary in type, duration, and intensity.

Our gynecologists offer support and treatment for all aspects of menopause. We take your symptoms, age, and health into account and offer individual guidance with a focus on safety and discretion.

At Doctors in Denmark, we offer safe and personalized treatment, regardless of whether you prefer a consultation at the clinic or a video consultation with a gynecologist. Both options provide access to the same high level of expertise and individualized advice—tailored to your needs and situation.

A video consultation can be a flexible alternative if you want advice from home or find it difficult to attend in person. The gynecologist will review your symptoms, answer questions, and discuss relevant treatment options in the same thorough and professional manner as during an in-person consultation.

As a private gynecologist with experience in menopause, we emphasize safety, discretion, and continuity throughout your treatment. Regardless of the type of consultation, you will receive ample time, professionally sound guidance, and the opportunity for follow-up, so that you feel supported throughout your menopause.
