It can lead to irregular periods, weight changes, acne, excess hair growth, and fertility challenges if not managed on time. At Medicare Clinic, Dr. Afsar Alam Laskar provides comprehensive PCOS evaluation and treatment to help women restore hormonal balance and improve overall reproductive health. With over 20 years of experience in obstetrics and gynecology, he offers evidence-based, personalized care tailored to each patient’s needs.

Our goal is to manage symptoms effectively, address underlying hormonal imbalance, and support long-term health, including menstrual regularity and fertility outcomes.

What is PCOS?

PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) is a hormonal condition where the ovaries produce excess androgens, leading to disrupted ovulation and multiple small cysts in the ovaries. It can affect menstrual cycles, metabolism, skin health, and fertility.
