Living with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can sometimes make travel planning feel more complicated.

What is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)?

PCOS is a hormonal condition that affects how the ovaries work, and can lead to symptoms such as irregular periods, hormonal imbalances, weight changes, acne, and fertility issues. In the UK, it’s estimated to affect around 1 in 10 women. Symptoms and severity can vary between individuals, and many people manage the condition with medication, lifestyle adjustments, or ongoing treatment.

Travelling with polycystic ovary syndrome can take a little extra planning, but if your condition is stable and you’ve spoken with your doctor, there’s often no reason you can’t still enjoy a holiday abroad.

How travel insurance can help if you have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS):

  • Emergency medical treatment abroad if your condition causes complications
  • Hospital treatment and medical expenses during your trip
  • Repatriation to the UK if you need to return home for further care
  • Cancellation cover if you are unable to travel due to your condition

Travel advice for people with a chronic medical condition like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

  • Pack any PCOS medication you normally take
  • Stay hydrated, especially when travelling in warmer climates
  • Plan meals carefully if your PCOS is affected by diet or blood sugar levels
  • Allow time for rest if fatigue or discomfort affects you

When completing the medical declaration, it's important to read the questions carefully, and declare this condition where required.

Direct Travel can consider cover for people with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The level of cover depends on how severe the condition is and how it is treated, so please answer every medical declaration question honestly and accurately.
