Treating PCOS with Metformin at Our Functional Medicine Toronto Clinic

Our Toronto functional medicine clinical practice now addresses Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome or PCOS, a common hormonal disease among women of reproductive age.

Did you know that PCOS affects around 1.4 million Canadian women? The combination of excess androgen and anovulation is thought to be what defines PCOS, according to most research.

Metformin is a drug that aids in the management of blood sugar levels. It's frequently prescribed to patients who have type 2 diabetes. Metformin can also aid in ovulation and pregnancy in women with PCOS. It works by lowering testosterone levels produced by the ovaries. This may help increase insulin sensitivity, which is linked to the development of PCOS.

In general, it takes four to six weeks for women to begin ovulating after starting Metformin. Other treatments, in addition to Metformin, can be used in conjunction with or instead of it. As previously mentioned, some women may benefit from incorporating clomiphene or commonly known as Clomid into their treatment plan to aid in ovulation induction.

If you require a distinctive health-care strategy for your fertility or want to know if Metformin can help you get pregnant, let us know. We can assist you in achieving optimal health in order to increase your chances of conceiving. Please schedule an appointment with our functional medicine nurse practitioner in Toronto.
