What is PCOS?
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder characterized by an overproduction of male hormones, known as androgens, in women. This imbalance can result in ovarian cysts, irregular or heavy menstrual cycles, unusual hair growth or loss, weight fluctuations, and other bothersome symptoms. While the root cause of PCOS remains unclear, it has been linked to factors, like insulin resistance and chronic inflammation. To manage these symptoms, lifestyle modifications and a balanced diet are effective approaches. Wonderfully Made Women's Health Care in Huntington Woods, MI offers treatment to help alleviate your PCOS symptoms. For a consultation, contact Dr. Charlene Williams today.
How is PCOS Treated?
Treatment for PCOS is typically multifaceted, aiming to manage and alleviate a range of symptoms, from hormonal imbalances to insulin resistance. Common approaches include hormonal therapies, such as birth control pills, to regulate menstrual cycles and manage excess androgen levels. Lifestyle modifications, particularly diet and exercise, are also critical components of a comprehensive treatment plan. A balanced diet rich in whole foods can help manage blood sugar levels and potentially facilitate weight loss, which is beneficial in mitigating symptoms and reducing the risk of developing diabetes. Regular consultations with Dr. Williams can provide a personalized approach to effectively manage PCOS.
What are the Symptoms of PCOS?
PCOS manifests through a variety of symptoms that can vary in intensity from person to person. Key symptoms include:
- Irregular or absent menstrual cycles
- Infertility struggles
- Elevated levels of male hormones that lead to symptoms, like excessive facial or body hair
- Ovarian cysts
- Weight gain or difficulty losing weight

Wonderfully Made Women’s Health Care Reviews
I've been going to Dr Williams for almost 4yrs. She's great quick but thorough. I feel so comfortable with her. Even when the appts may be uncomfortable
I say this Dr. is the best she is very intelligent and informative also has the biggest heart. Thank you for being my DR. I appreciate you A lot. And if I ever have another child you would be my first choice to be being my provider and midwife.
Wonderful doctor
Dr. Charlene Williams is the best doctor hands down. I found her on Zocdoc over 2 years ago and I’ve been a patient since.
She’s awesome to me 🤷🏽♀️💯 . Before the delivery of my twins she was always beautiful and she went over and beyond for me. I went through a very stressful pregnancy and she helped me get through it. She even did house calls to me, her and her husband even helped me with things I needed When I moved to my home at that time. Her and her family made me and my family feel like I was more than just a patient one situation were she went over and beyond is where she knew my 6 weeks were up and how I felt about my birth control she made sure that I got to her office to administer it on an off day. So when my daughter gotten pregnant with her first child I only wanted her to deliver her baby and she treated her with love as well so she’s the best to me my only issue is the distance for me now. Loving her for over 10 1/2 yrs 😍
