What is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)?

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder in which the ovaries produce higher-than-normal levels of androgens (male hormones). This hormonal imbalance disrupts the normal ovulation cycle, causing irregular periods, the development of small fluid-filled cysts on the ovaries, and a range of symptoms affecting the skin, hair, weight, and fertility. 

PCOS is strongly associated with insulin resistance, which means the body does not use insulin effectively. This leads to elevated blood sugar levels and increased androgen production, creating a cycle that worsens hormonal imbalance.

Women with PCOS have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and cardiovascular disease if the condition is not appropriately managed. 

At Shree Hospitals, our multidisciplinary team including gynaecologists, endocrinologists, and dietitians work together to provide a comprehensive, personalised PCOS management plan. Our approach addresses both the immediate symptoms and the long-term metabolic health implications of the condition.

When Should You Consult a Specialist for PCOS?

You should seek specialist evaluation if you experience: 

  • Irregular, infrequent, or absent menstrual periods
  • Unexplained weight gain especially around the abdomen
  • Excess hair growth on the face, chest, or back
  • Acne or oily skin that has not responded to standard treatments
  • Thinning scalp hair or hair loss
  • Difficulty conceiving

Early diagnosis and treatment significantly reduces the long-term risks associated with PCOS.

Is PCOS Treatment Right for You?

PCOS specialist care may be right for you if: 

  • You have been diagnosed with PCOS or have typical PCOS symptoms
  • Your periods are irregular or absent and you wish to improve cycle regularity
  • You are experiencing fertility problems related to PCOS-related anovulation
  • You have PCOS combined with insulin resistance or elevated blood sugar
  • You require medical management to reduce long-term risk of diabetes or cardiovascular disease

Our specialists will design a personalised management plan matched to your individual health goals.

Why Expert PCOS Management Matters?

PCOS is a lifelong condition but its symptoms and health risks can be significantly reduced with the right management. Benefits of specialist PCOS care include:

 

  • Restored or more regular menstrual cycles
  • Reduced excess hair growth, acne, and skin symptoms
  • Improved fertility and ovulation rates
  • Lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes
  • Better energy levels, mood, and overall quality of life

Up to 70% of women with PCOS are undiagnosed and do not receive the treatment they need.

Early diagnosis and a personalised management plan can significantly reduce symptoms, restore fertility, and lower the risk of serious long-term complications including diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Our Approach to PCOS Management

At Shree Hospitals, we understand that PCOS affects women differently. Our team provides a tailored treatment plan that combines hormonal therapy, metabolic management, nutritional guidance, and fertility support to address your unique symptoms and long-term health goals.

24×7 Emergency Care

Accurate Diagnosis and Hormonal Assessment

PCOS diagnosis is confirmed through clinical assessment, transvaginal ultrasound, and blood tests measuring androgens, insulin, glucose, and thyroid function. We rule out other conditions that may mimic PCOS before confirming the diagnosis and planning treatment.

Medical and Hormonal Treatment

Treatment options include oral contraceptive pills to regulate periods and reduce androgens, anti-androgen medications for hair and skin symptoms, metformin for insulin resistance management, and ovulation induction medications for patients trying to conceive.

Lifestyle and Nutritional Support

Weight management through dietary changes and regular physical activity has a proven positive effect on PCOS symptoms and fertility. Our team provides practical nutritional guidance and supports sustainable lifestyle changes to improve hormonal balance and metabolic health.

Fertility and Long-Term Health Monitoring

For women with PCOS who wish to conceive, we provide ovulation induction, fertility monitoring, and referral to assisted reproduction if required. All PCOS patients are monitored for long-term metabolic risks at regular intervals.

Step by Step Process of PCOS Management

Step 1 - Initial Consultation and Symptom Assessment 

Your gynaecologist takes a detailed history of your menstrual cycle, weight, skin and hair symptoms, and fertility goals. A clinical examination is performed and appropriate investigations are requested based on your individual presentation. 

Step 2 - Diagnostic Investigations 

Blood tests including LH, FSH, testosterone, DHEAS, insulin, fasting glucose, and thyroid function are arranged. A pelvic ultrasound assesses the ovaries for cyst development and uterine lining thickness. 

Step 3 - Diagnosis Confirmation and Treatment Planning 

Your results are reviewed and PCOS is confirmed based on clinical, biochemical, and ultrasound criteria. A personalised treatment plan is developed addressing your specific symptoms and health goals. 

Step 4 - Medical Treatment and Lifestyle Support 

Prescribed medications and lifestyle interventions are started. You receive dietary guidance, an exercise plan, and practical advice on managing individual symptoms such as acne, excess hair, and irregular periods. 

Step 5 - Fertility Management (if applicable) 

If you are trying to conceive, ovulation induction with medication is commenced along with cycle monitoring. If oral ovulation induction is unsuccessful, referral to our fertility team for IUI or IVF is arranged. 

Step 6 - Regular Review and Long-Term Monitoring

PCOS requires ongoing management. Follow-up appointments are scheduled every 3 to 6 months to review symptom control, hormone levels, weight, blood pressure, and glucose. Annual screening for diabetes and cardiovascular risk is performed.

Patient Questions About PCOS Management

Is PCOS curable?

PCOS is a lifelong condition and cannot be permanently cured, but its symptoms can be effectively managed with the right treatment and lifestyle changes. Many women with PCOS lead entirely normal, healthy lives and successfully conceive with appropriate medical support. The goal of treatment is to control symptoms, restore hormonal balance, support fertility, and prevent long-term complications.

Can women with PCOS get pregnant?

Yes. Many women with PCOS conceive naturally or with minimal intervention. For those who do not ovulate regularly, ovulation induction medications such as letrozole or clomiphene can stimulate egg release and significantly improve the chances of conception. If these treatments are unsuccessful, IUI or IVF provides further assisted reproductive options.

Does PCOS cause weight gain?

PCOS is associated with insulin resistance, which makes it easier to gain weight and harder to lose it, particularly around the abdomen. However, weight gain is not inevitable. A structured diet, regular physical activity, and in some cases metformin can help manage weight and improve insulin sensitivity, which in turn improves hormonal balance.

What happens if PCOS is left untreated?

Untreated PCOS can lead to a range of serious health problems including type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, and endometrial cancer due to prolonged irregular periods and uterine lining build-up. Long-term specialist monitoring and management are essential to reduce these risks.
