Consult Dr. Mona Dahiya for Diagnosis and Treatment of PCOS


PCOS is a common disorder seen in infertile ladies. Many couples come to me and ask what is PCOS, what is PCOS causes, do they have a PCOS cure, and about PCOS and pregnancy. PCOS is a metabolic and hormonal disorder seen in young females of reproductive age. It is very common and is the leading cause of infertility. Ladies with PCOS have bilateral PCOS ovaries on ultrasound.

Usually, in the teenage years, the diagnosis is made when the girl complains of irregular periods. The cycles do not occur for many months. This is called oligomenorrhoea. This happens due to hormonal imbalance. Due to the hormonal imbalance, there is anovulation, i.e., no egg is produced in a month. As a result, the menstrual cycle is also delayed. This is also the cause of infertility and the lady is unable to get pregnant.

Along with menstrual complaints, there are other problems like acne on the face, body, and back. There is excessive hair growth on the face and body also. The female has insulin resistance and increased weight. Later on, the lady is at increased risk of developing diabetes and heart disease. Thus she should be on follow-up and regular health check-ups There is PCOS CURE which includes medicines and surgery if required. Weight loss and exercise play a major role. Weight loss helps in correcting hormonal imbalances. Medicines that improve insulin sensitivity are used in PCOS treatment like metformin and myoinositol. Sometimes, ovarian drilling may be done by laparoscopy to cure PCOS.

However, PCOS cannot be completely cured. It can be controlled with medicines. Other medicines which help in egg formation help in the treatment of infertility due to PCOS. These include Letrozole and Clomiphene.
