PCOS is the most common endocrine disorder in young women, affecting up to 10% of the population, yet it remains significantly under-diagnosed. At the One Care Institute, we treat PCOS as a Clinical Metabolic Syndrome, not just a collection of surface symptoms. Under the guidance of our specialist physicians, we move beyond "masking" symptoms with the birth control pill. Our focus is on diagnosing the underlying Insulin Resistance and Androgen Excess to restore your hormonal balance, optimize your body composition, and protect your long-term cardiovascular health.
Diagnosing the Rot Cause.
PCOS presents differently in every woman. Our GP-led approach utilizes meticulous pathology to determine your specific "phenotype" and driver.
This is the hidden driver in over 70% of PCOS cases. If you are struggling with unexplained weight gain around the midsection, intense sugar cravings, or fatigue, your body is likely struggling to manage glucose.
Biometric Testing: We perform deep-dive pathology on your Fasting Insulin, HbA1c, and Glucose to identify sub-clinical insulin resistance long before it registers on a standard blood test.
Elevated "male" hormones (like Testosterone and DHEA-S) cause distressing surface symptoms.
Dermal Signs: We medically manage hormonal acne, hirsutism (excess unwanted hair growth), and hair thinning on the scalp by blocking the effect of these androgens at the cellular level.
Irregular Cycles: Diagnosing and treating anovulation (the lack of ovulation) that causes cycle irregularity and long-term risks.
PCOS as a Cardiovascular Risk Factor.
As your General Practitioners, we manage PCOS with a long-term view. Women with PCOS have a statistically significantly higher risk of developing:
Type 2 Diabetes: Due to chronic insulin resistance.
Cardiovascular Disease: Often driven by an optimized lipid profile and arterial stiffness.
Endometrial Hyperplasia: Long-term irregular cycles can pose a risk to uterine health.
We synchronize your PCOS care across our primary clinical disciplines:
Clinical Skin Integrity. Dr. Shaun Naidoo’s team provides professional-grade medical aesthetics to correct the visual impact of PCOS breakouts. We utilize high-purity injectables and regenerative skin protocols (e.g., GHK-Cu copper peptides) to maintain structural collagen before deep lines appear.
We don’t just "suggest diet and exercise." We integrate your medical diagnostics (e.g., your HbA1c and Lipid Profile) with targeted lifestyle interventions:
Medical Weight Management: Utilizing clinical protocols to improve insulin sensitivity and support sustainable fat loss.
Nutritional Co-Factors: Utilizing micronutrients (such as Inositol) and specific medications (e.g., Metformin) to manage glucose regulation.
Initial Consultation: A thorough review of your unique symptoms (hair, skin, cycle, weight) with a focus on clinical history.
Comprehensive Pathology: Testing insulin, glucose, and a complete androgens panel.
Protocol Design: A customized plan based on your unique biological markers.
Ongoing Maintenance: Regular follow-ups to ensure your metabolic and hormonal health is moving toward optimal levels.
Stop managing symptoms and start correcting the underlying metabolism.
