• Common Signs We Help Treat That Are Linked To PCOS

    Living with PCOS can look very different for every woman, but there are common signs that often signal your body needs extra support. Irregular or absent cycles, acne, unwanted hair growth, weight changes, and challenges with ovulation or fertility are some of the symptoms we see most often. Many women also notice shifts in energy, mood, or confidence alongside these physical changes. At Floralia, we take the time to understand how PCOS is showing up for you and use comprehensive testing and whole-person care to address the underlying drivers, not just the surface symptoms.

    Irregular or absent cycles are one of the hallmark signs of PCOS and often stem from irregular ovulation, elevated androgens, or polycystic ovaries. These patterns can overlap with other conditions such as hypothalamic amenorrhoea, so personalised assessment is key. At Floralia, we use comprehensive testing — from hormone panels to functional assessments — to uncover what’s driving your cycle changes and create a treatment plan that truly reflects your unique health story.

    PCOS is one of the leading causes of infertility, yet it’s also one of the most rewarding areas to support naturally. Our fertility naturopaths focus on gently regulating ovulation, balancing hormones, and optimising egg quality. We also collaborate with Perth gynaecologists and IVF specialists, ensuring you’re supported whether you’re preparing for natural conception or assisted reproductive treatments. Evidence shows that combining lifestyle strategies, herbal medicine, and nutrition can significantly improve ovulation and pregnancy outcomes in women with PCOS.

    Excess hair on the face or body, thinning scalp hair, or male-pattern hair loss are often linked to elevated androgens. At Floralia, we use carefully selected herbal and nutritional therapies to calm androgen dominance, restore hormone balance, and support healthier skin and hair. We know these changes affect more than appearance—they impact confidence—and we’re here to support both.

    Insulin resistance often sits at the core of PCOS, making weight management feel overwhelming and frustrating. Beyond physical symptoms, it also increases the risk of long-term conditions such as diabetes or cardiovascular disease. Our team provides compassionate, sustainable guidance—using nutrition, lifestyle coaching, and natural therapies—to improve insulin sensitivity, support metabolic health, and encourage gradual, balanced weight management without restrictive diets or harsh quick fixes.

    PCOS rarely exists in isolation—it often comes with a tangle of hormone shifts, from elevated androgens to disrupted oestrogen and progesterone patterns. Left unaddressed, these imbalances can contribute to irregular uterine lining changes or other long-term concerns. At Floralia, we take time to understand your hormone pathways, thyroid function, adrenal health, and metabolic picture, designing a treatment plan that restores balance naturally and safely.

    Our Approach To Treating PCOS

    At Floralia, we believe true healing means caring for the whole woman, not just her symptoms. Our approach is gentle, evidence-based, and tailored to the root causes driving your PCOS. Rather than focusing solely on contraceptives or medications, we use advanced testing alongside naturopathic strategies to bring clarity and balance back to your body.

    We use detailed hormone and metabolic testing — including LH, FSH, AMH, androgens, insulin, and inflammatory markers — to understand your body’s unique patterns. This helps us distinguish PCOS from other hormonal conditions and create a precise, personalised treatment plan that’s right for you.

    Our practitioners use practitioner-grade nutrients and herbal medicines that have been shown to regulate cycles, improve insulin sensitivity, and restore hormonal balance. Research continues to highlight how natural interventions can support menstrual regularity and fertility outcomes, giving you both relief now and stronger foundations for the future.

    Sustainable lifestyle changes are at the heart of PCOS care. Our team provides practical, compassionate guidance on anti-inflammatory and Mediterranean-style eating, movement, and stress reduction. We’ll support you in making changes that are realistic, nourishing, and designed to improve both your physical and emotional health.

    FAQs

    Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine disorder that develops through a mix of genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors. Women with PCOS often experience insulin resistance, irregular ovulation, hormonal imbalances, and elevated male hormones, leading to symptoms like irregular periods, ovarian cysts, weight gain, and excess hair growth. Family medical history, inflammation, and stress can also play a role. Because PCOS looks different for every woman, it requires a personalised approach. At Floralia Wellness in Perth, our PCOS specialists use blood tests, hormone testing, and holistic investigation to diagnose PCOS accurately and develop individualised treatment options that address the root causes and support long-term health.

    PCOS symptoms vary widely but often include irregular menstrual cycles, irregular ovulation, or absent periods. Many women also notice excessive body hair growth (facial hair or male pattern baldness), acne, weight gain, or hair thinning. On ultrasound, some patients show polycystic ovaries with multiple cysts or enlarged ovaries. Beyond fertility concerns, these symptoms may increase the higher risk of conditions such as diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure, uterine cancer, or heart disease. At Floralia Wellness, our team of women’s health practitioners helps PCOS patients in Perth manage symptoms with natural and integrative strategies—restoring balance, reducing long-term risks, and improving overall wellbeing.

    Yes, natural PCOS treatment can be highly effective. While oral contraceptives, hormone therapy, or surgical treatment such as laparoscopic ovarian drilling may be used medically, many women benefit from holistic care. At Floralia Wellness, we use dietary management, lifestyle changes, herbal medicine, and nutritional medicine to help regulate menstrual cycles, reduce excess hair growth, balance insulin resistance, and manage weight gain. Research shows these strategies not only improve PCOS symptoms but also reduce the increased risk of conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and uterine cancer. Our approach integrates functional medicine with conventional care, ensuring your treatment plan is safe, evidence-based, and personalised to your unique needs.

    You don’t need a confirmed PCOS diagnosis to begin care. Many women live with irregular periods, acne, weight gain, or fertility issues for years before a formal diagnosis. Typically, doctors use blood tests, pelvic ultrasound, and a review of medical history to confirm polycystic ovary syndrome. At Floralia Wellness in Perth, our PCOS specialists can begin supporting you right away—creating strategies to regulate menstrual cycles, reduce hormonal imbalances, and support fertility treatment. While we may recommend further investigations with a GP, endocrinologist, or Perth gynaecologist, we believe in early, proactive care, helping PCOS patients restore balance and move toward improved health without delay.

At Floralia Wellness, we create integrative fertility treatment plans to support ovulation induction, insulin resistance management, and hormone balance.

Together, we work to create the strongest foundation for a healthy pregnancy and baby.

    Every woman’s experience with polycystic ovary syndrome is unique. Some patients notice improvements in irregular menstrual cycles, skin health, and energy levels within 3–6 months, while fertility outcomes may take longer. Because PCOS is a chronic endocrine disorder linked to insulin resistance and hormonal imbalances, long-term lifestyle management is often needed. At Floralia Wellness, our PCOS management strategies include weight management, reducing excess hair growth, balancing ovulation, and improving reproductive health. With ongoing support, women can reduce their higher risk of heart disease, diabetes mellitus, or uterine cancer, while moving confidently toward sustainable health, fertility, and improved quality of life.

    Yes, supplements are often part of effective PCOS management. Depending on your blood tests and medical history, we may recommend nutrients like inositol, vitamin D, magnesium, omega-3s, or herbal medicines such as spearmint, licorice, peony, or herbal formulas for hormone therapy. These can improve insulin resistance, regulate menstrual cycles, and reduce excess hair growth or acne. Some supplements also support ovulation induction and enhance fertility outcomes. At Floralia Wellness, all supplement protocols are personalised for PCOS patients, designed to be safe alongside medications like Metformin, anti-diabetic drugs, or oral contraceptives. Our goal is always safe, evidence-based, and integrative PCOS treatment.

    Yes. Weight management is one of the biggest challenges for PCOS patients due to insulin resistance, which can cause weight gain around the abdomen in both normal weight and overweight women. This not only worsens PCOS symptoms but also increases the risk of diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure, and heart disease. At Floralia Wellness in Perth, our PCOS specialists provide compassionate care using dietary management, nutritional medicine, herbal support, and lifestyle strategies. By focusing on improving insulin sensitivity and supporting gradual, sustainable weight loss, we help regulate menstrual cycles, reduce ovarian cysts, and restore hormonal balance, lowering the risk of long-term complications and improving quality of life.
