The hormonal disorder PCOS is a common cause of infertility - fertility clinics in Lower Austria are helping those affected - with free advice in September.

The unfulfilled desire to have a child of one's own can have many causes and often leaves those affected in despair. One common reason for this can be polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). This hormonal disorder not only affects the female cycle and often leads to infertility - the condition often goes undetected. One in ten women is affected - but seven in ten women never receive a clear diagnosis.

This makes it all the more important to raise awareness of the disease during the global "PCOS Awareness Month" in September. The fertility clinics "Tiny Feet" - with locations in St. Pölten, Horn and Mödling - are also taking a special interest in the topic this month. Throughout September, affected women can receive a free consultation here. In addition to an individual medical history, a basic gynecological examination including a blood test is also carried out

Most common reason for an unfulfilled desire to have children
"Thanks to comprehensive individual treatment options, there is a good chance of getting pregnant despite PCOS," explains Primar András Jaksics, Medical Director of the Fertility Clinic in St. Pölten. According to the Austrian IVF Fund, the reason for artificial insemination is PCOS in four out of ten cases.

Raising awareness of the issue
The "Tiny Feet" fertility clinics not only offer advice, but also provide active support in fulfilling the desire to have children - from diagnosis to therapies and treatment, they also have their own sperm bank, the option of egg donation and embryo freezing.
