PCOS in Qatar: Causes, Symptoms & How Eden Health Center Can Help
What is PCOS?
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder affecting 1 in 10 women of reproductive age — and it’s increasingly recognized in Qatar due to lifestyle, stress, and genetic factors. Women with PCOS may struggle with irregular periods, infertility, acne, weight gain, or unwanted hair growth.
At Eden Health Center in Doha, we understand how PCOS affects your health and fertility. That’s why our expert Dr. Suada Tinjic, Consultant in Obstetrics & Gynecology, offers a personalized approach to managing PCOS and restoring hormonal balance.
Common Signs of PCOS
Not every woman with PCOS experiences all the symptoms. Some of the most common include:
- Irregular or missed periods
- Difficulty getting pregnant
- Weight gain, especially around the belly
- Acne or oily skin
- Excessive hair growth (face, chest, back)
- Hair thinning or loss
- Dark patches of skin (usually on the neck or underarms)
- Mood changes or depression
Causes of PCOS
While the exact cause of PCOS remains unclear, several factors contribute:
- Hormonal Imbalance: Excess androgens (male hormones) can prevent ovulation.
- Insulin Resistance: Many women with PCOS are insulin resistant, increasing risk of type 2 diabetes.
- Genetics: PCOS often runs in families.
- Lifestyle & Diet: Poor diet, stress, and lack of exercise may worsen symptoms.
How is PCOS Diagnosed?
At Eden Health Center, we use a combination of:
- Medical history & physical exam
- Pelvic ultrasound (to check for ovarian cysts)
- Hormonal blood tests (LH, FSH, testosterone, insulin, AMH, etc.)
Can PCOS Be Treated?
While there is no “cure” for PCOS, symptoms can be effectively managed with:
✅ Lifestyle Changes – Healthy diet, weight loss, and exercise
✅ Hormonal Therapy – Birth control pills to regulate cycles and reduce acne
✅ Fertility Treatments – Ovulation induction with medication like Clomid or Letrozole
✅ Insulin-Sensitizing Agents – Such as Metformin for women with insulin resistance
✅ Laser Hair Removal – For unwanted hair caused by hormonal imbalance

PCOS is a leading cause of infertility in Qatar and worldwide. However, with proper treatment and ovulation support, many women with PCOS successfully conceive.
