Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

Understanding PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome)

PCOS is a common hormonal disorder that affects women of reproductive age. It disrupts the normal functioning of the ovaries, leading to irregular periods, difficulty conceiving, and other health complications. At Phular IVF Hospital, we specialize in diagnosing and managing PCOS with a holistic, evidence-based approach.

What is PCOS?

PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) occurs when a woman’s body produces higher-than-normal amounts of male hormones (androgens), which interfere with the normal release of eggs from the ovaries. This leads to the formation of small cysts and disrupts the menstrual cycle.

Key Symptoms of PCOS

  • Irregular or absent menstrual periods
  • Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
  • Acne and oily skin
  • Excess hair growth on the face or body (hirsutism)
  • Hair thinning or male-pattern baldness
  • Dark patches on the skin (neck, groin, underarms)
  • Mood swings or emotional distress

Causes of PCOS

  • Hormonal Imbalance: Excess androgens prevent regular ovulation.
  • Insulin Resistance: The body’s inability to use insulin properly increases androgen production.
  • Genetic Factors: PCOS tends to run in families, suggesting a hereditary link.
  • Lifestyle Factors: Unhealthy eating, obesity, and lack of physical activity can worsen PCOS.

How PCOS Affects Fertility

PCOS can make ovulation unpredictable or stop it entirely, leading to infertility. Even when ovulation occurs, poor egg quality or hormonal imbalance can reduce the chances of conception. At Phular IVF Centre, our specialists offer customized fertility treatments to overcome these challenges.

Diagnosis of PCOS

  • Pelvic ultrasound to detect ovarian cysts and follicle count
  • Blood tests to measure hormones like LH, FSH, testosterone, and insulin
  • Thyroid and prolactin evaluation to rule out other disorders
  • Physical examination and menstrual history review

Treatment Options for PCOS

  • Lifestyle Modifications: Weight loss through balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress control can restore normal cycles.
  • Medications: To regulate periods, reduce androgen levels, and improve insulin sensitivity.
  • Fertility Treatments: Ovulation induction medicines, Intrauterine Insemination (IUI), or In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) if conception is difficult.
  • Cosmetic & Skin Care: Managing acne, hair growth, and pigmentation issues.

Diet & Lifestyle Recommendations

  • Eat fiber-rich foods like vegetables, fruits, and whole grains.
  • Avoid processed foods and refined sugars.
  • Exercise at least 30 minutes a day (yoga, brisk walking, or cycling).
  • Stay hydrated and maintain regular sleep patterns.
  • Practice meditation or relaxation to reduce stress hormones.

Complications if Untreated

  • Infertility due to lack of ovulation
  • Type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance
  • High cholesterol and hypertension
  • Endometrial (uterine) cancer due to irregular shedding
  • Depression and anxiety
