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)
