Frequently asked questions
Do I need an endocrinologist or an OB-GYN for PCOS?
Often both. Endocrinologists focus on the hormonal and metabolic aspects (insulin resistance, androgens, thyroid, weight), while OB-GYNs focus on cycles and fertility. Dr. Splenser coordinates closely with your OB-GYN when needed.
Can PCOS be cured?
PCOS is a chronic condition, but symptoms can be very well managed. Many patients see major improvements in cycles, weight, skin and energy with the right plan.
Is metformin or a GLP-1 right for me?
It depends on your insulin resistance, weight, cycles and goals. Dr. Splenser will discuss the options most appropriate for your specific situation.
I want to get pregnant — can you help?
Yes. We help optimize hormonal and metabolic health before pregnancy, and coordinate with your OB-GYN or fertility specialist.
