PCOD / PCOS Treatment
Polycystic Ovary Disorder (PCOD) and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) are among the most common hormonal conditions affecting women during their reproductive years. While the terms are often used interchangeably, there is a key difference: PCOD is a disorder where ovaries release immature or partially mature eggs, while PCOS is a more complex hormonal and metabolic syndrome that affects multiple body systems.
In both conditions, the ovaries produce higher-than-normal levels of androgens (male hormones), disrupting ovulation and leading to symptoms like irregular periods, acne, excessive hair growth, weight gain, and difficulty conceiving. Both PCOD and PCOS are closely linked to insulin resistance and lifestyle factors, making early diagnosis and a structured treatment plan crucial for long-term reproductive and metabolic health.
Symptoms and Causes of PCOD/PCOS
Women with PCOD/PCOS may experience a wide range of symptoms, which can vary in intensity:
Irregular or missed menstrual cycles
Heavy or scanty bleeding during periods
Weight gain, especially around the abdomen
Acne, oily skin, or darkening of the skin (acanthosis nigricans)
Excessive hair growth on the face or body (hirsutism)
Thinning scalp hair or hair loss
Fertility challenges due to irregular ovulation
Mood changes such as anxiety or depression
The exact cause of PCOD/PCOS is not fully understood, but it is believed to arise from a combination of:
Genetic predisposition – Family history of PCOD/PCOS or diabetes increases risk.
Hormonal imbalances – Elevated androgen levels disrupt ovulation.
Insulin resistance – High insulin levels contribute to weight gain and worsen hormonal imbalance.
Lifestyle factors – Sedentary habits, poor diet, and stress often worsen the condition.
Comprehensive Diagnostic Approach
Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective treatment. At our clinic, the evaluation for PCOD/PCOS includes:
Detailed medical history and consultation to understand menstrual patterns, symptoms, and family background.
Physical examination to assess signs of hormonal imbalance.
Blood tests to measure hormone levels, insulin, and glucose metabolism.
Pelvic ultrasound to evaluate ovarian size and follicle count.
Additional metabolic assessments for thyroid, lipid profile, and overall metabolic health.
By pinpointing the exact hormonal and metabolic disturbances, we create a personalized treatment plan that goes beyond just symptom control.
Effective Treatment Options for PCOD/PCOS
Treatment is tailored to individual needs, whether the goal is to regulate cycles, manage symptoms, or improve fertility:
Lifestyle Modifications – A structured diet plan, regular exercise, and weight management can restore hormonal balance and improve insulin sensitivity.
Medications –
To regulate menstrual cycles
To stimulate ovulation (for women trying to conceive)
To reduce insulin resistance (metformin and similar drugs)
To control acne and excessive hair growth
Fertility Treatments – Ovulation induction or advanced options like IVF may be recommended for couples facing infertility.
Holistic Care – Counseling, stress management, and long-term monitoring to reduce risks of diabetes, heart disease, and endometrial problems.
