Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most underdiagnosed conditions in women — and it is not just a gynecological problem. PCOS is an endocrine disorder that affects metabolism, fertility, skin, hair, and long-term cardiovascular health. Dr. Marie Noelle Kallas Chemaly provides comprehensive PCOS evaluation going beyond basic ultrasound to include full androgen panels, insulin and metabolic screening, and personalized treatment plans that address the root hormonal imbalance.
Full hormonal workup including testosterone, DHEA-S, androstenedione, insulin, glucose tolerance, and metabolic panel. Diagnosis based on Rotterdam criteria with personalized treatment addressing insulin resistance, androgen excess, and ovulatory dysfunction.
Hormonal assessment for irregular, absent, or heavy periods to identify thyroid dysfunction, PCOS, hyperprolactinemia, or other endocrine causes.
Evaluation and management of androgen-related skin and hair conditions including hirsutism, hormonal acne, and female pattern hair loss.
Pre-conception hormonal evaluation and optimization for women with PCOS, thyroid disorders, or other endocrine conditions. Coordinated care with gynecologists and fertility specialists.
Hormone evaluation and symptom management during perimenopause and menopause, including bone health and cardiovascular risk assessment.
PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) is a hormonal disorder causing irregular periods, excess androgens, and polycystic ovaries. Diagnosis requires at least 2 of 3 Rotterdam criteria. Dr. Kallas goes beyond ultrasound to run full hormonal and metabolic panels for accurate diagnosis.
Yes — PCOS is fundamentally an endocrine disorder involving insulin resistance, androgen excess, and metabolic dysfunction. An endocrinologist addresses the root hormonal causes, not just the symptoms. Dr. Kallas works with gynecologists for coordinated care.
Yes. PCOS causes insulin resistance, which promotes fat storage — particularly abdominal fat. This creates a cycle: weight gain worsens insulin resistance, which worsens PCOS symptoms. Treating the insulin resistance is key to breaking this cycle.
PCOS is the leading cause of ovulatory infertility. However, with proper hormonal treatment and metabolic optimization, most women with PCOS can conceive. Dr. Kallas provides pre-conception hormonal optimization and coordinates with fertility specialists.
