The problem with standard care

PCOS Is Often Underdiagnosed and Undertreated

Polycystic ovary syndrome is one of the most common hormonal conditions affecting women of reproductive age — yet it takes an average of two years and three physicians to receive a correct diagnosis. Many women are handed a birth control prescription, told to "lose weight," and sent home without a real care plan.

That's not care. That's a band-aid on a complex, systemic condition.

Dr. Alejandra Borensztein is a fellowship-trained, board-certified endocrinologist and obesity medicine specialist. Her approach to PCOS is grounded in current evidence and built around the full picture of your health — not just one symptom, one hormone level, or one prescription.

"PCOS is common but chronically undertreated."

Many patients arrive after years of being told their labs are "normal" or that their symptoms are "just stress." If you've been dismissed, minimized, or managed with birth control alone — you deserve a second opinion from a specialist who actually understands this condition.

Why PCOS Is Missed

PCOS Affects Your Whole Body

No two women with PCOS present the same way. It can look like irregular periods, or it can look like weight gain with no obvious explanation. It can show up on your skin, your scalp, your mood, or your bloodwork — and often all of the above. This complexity is exactly why it demands specialist care.

🔄
Irregular or Absent Periods
Infrequent, unpredictable, or absent menstrual cycles due to anovulation — one of the hallmark signs of PCOS.
⚖️
Weight Gain & Difficulty Losing Weight
Insulin resistance drives fat storage, especially around the abdomen. Weight loss with PCOS requires a targeted metabolic approach.
💇
Hair Loss & Excess Hair Growth
Elevated androgens cause scalp hair thinning (female-pattern hair loss) and unwanted facial or body hair (hirsutism).
🧴
Acne & Oily Skin
Androgen excess stimulates oil production, leading to persistent adult acne that doesn't respond to typical skincare treatments.
🫀
Metabolic & Cardiovascular Risk
PCOS increases the risk of type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and cardiovascular disease over time.
🧠
Mood Changes & Brain Fog
Hormonal imbalance, insulin resistance, and sleep disruption contribute to anxiety, depression, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating.
📊
Insulin Resistance & Prediabetes
Up to 70% of women with PCOS have insulin resistance — a major driver of symptoms and long-term metabolic risk if left unaddressed.
🍼
Fertility Challenges
Irregular ovulation is the most common cause of infertility in women with PCOS. Addressing the root cause often improves fertility outcomes.
