When do I need to see an Endocrinologist for PCOS in Singapore?

I’ll be frank, it’s been some time since I had to manage PCOS for anyone, but as I recall the common issues with it are:

1. Acne
2. Weight gain
3. Hirsutism (hair growth)
4. Difficulty conceiving

If your main issue is acne, Dianette is a reasonable option - although it is not recommended as a contraceptive.

I would advise you to seek the advice of a gynaecologist if conceiving is an issue or perhaps a dermatologist if acne is the main overriding concern.

This is what I would advise if seeing someone for the first time. I would presume that you have had an ultrasound scan done.
