PCOS

PCOS affects 1 in 10 women of reproductive age, and it’s often misunderstood, underdiagnosed, and frustrating to manage alone. At Sonoran University Medical Center, our licensed naturopathic doctors take a comprehensive and compassionate approach to helping you understand your symptoms, rebalance your hormones, and feel like yourself again.

Whether you’re navigating irregular cycles, unwanted hair growth, adult acne, or difficulty getting pregnant, we specialize in holistic, patient-centered care that gets to the root of your PCOS.

What is PCOS?

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal condition that can impact your metabolism, menstrual cycles, skin, weight, fertility, and mental health. It is often associated with:

• Irregular or absent periods
• Cystic acne or oily skin
• Excess facial or body hair (hirsutism)
• Scalp hair thinning
• Weight gain or insulin resistance
• Mood changes or anxiety
• Difficulty with ovulation or fertility

PCOS is a spectrum condition, which means not every woman has cysts on her ovaries, or the same symptoms. That’s why individualized care is essential.

Integrative Treatment for PCOS

Rather than masking symptoms with birth control or other medications, we focus on uncovering the root cause of your hormonal imbalance, which could include:

• Blood sugar dysregulation
• Chronic inflammation
• Stress or cortisol disruption
• Thyroid involvement
• Nutrient deficiencies

Through a comprehensive intake, targeted lab testing, and integrative care plans, our doctors offer:

• Hormonal and metabolic testing
• Nutrition and lifestyle counseling
• Botanical and nutritional supplements
• Acupuncture and mind-body support
• Collaborative fertility planning

Our licensed naturopathic physicians work alongside you to design a treatment plan that is a sustainable, evidence-informed, and aligned with your goals, whether that’s regular cycles, clearer skin, improved energy, or a healthy pregnancy.

Care for Every Stage of Life

We support women with PCOS through every decade of life, from initial diagnosis in your 20s to perimenopause and beyond. Even if you were diagnosed years ago, your body and hormone continue to change over time, and so should your care.

Many women experience worsening symptoms or new challenges in their 30s, 40s, and 50s due to the natural hormonal shifts of aging. Our team is here to support you with expert care tailored to your current stage of life.
