What is PCOS?
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), often called PCOD in India, is a common hormonal condition in which the ovaries don’t release an egg regularly. It can cause irregular periods, acne, excess hair growth, weight gain and difficulty conceiving. It can’t be cured permanently, but it can be managed very well with lifestyle changes and treatment.
Who it affects: women from teenage years until menopause.
How it's found: consultation, blood tests and a pelvic ultrasound.
Why treat it: to ease symptoms and protect long-term heart and sugar health.
Signs & symptoms
PCOS symptoms women
often ignore.
Symptoms vary from woman to woman. You may have just one or two, and you don't need all of them for PCOS to be the cause.
Unwanted hair growth
Thick, dark hair on the face, chin, chest, stomach or back (hirsutism).
Acne & oily skin
Persistent acne along the jaw, chin or back, beyond the teenage years.
Weight gain
Weight gain, especially around the waist, that is hard to lose.
Difficulty conceiving
Irregular ovulation is one of the most common treatable causes of infertility.
Hair thinning
Hair fall or thinning on the scalp, often at the crown.
Dark skin patches
Velvety dark skin on the neck, underarms or groin, a sign of insulin resistance.
Mood & sleep changes
Low mood, anxiety, fatigue or snoring can also be linked to PCOS.

Not sure if you should see a doctor? Tick what applies.
This isn't a diagnosis. It's a simple guide to help you decide your next step.
See a doctor promptly if you have no period for 3 months or more (and aren’t pregnant), very heavy bleeding, or severe pelvic pain. For sudden severe pain or heavy bleeding, go to emergency care.
Why treat PCOS early
It’s more than irregular periods.
PCOS affects hormones and how your body uses insulin. Left unmanaged for years, it can raise your risk of other health problems. Managed early, most of these risks fall.
The good news: with regular follow-ups and a few lifestyle changes, most women with PCOS keep symptoms under control and go on to have healthy pregnancies.
- Type 2 diabetes and pre-diabetes
- High cholesterol, high BP and heart disease
- Gestational diabetes during pregnancy
- Thickened uterine lining when periods are very infrequent
- Sleep apnoea, anxiety and low mood
How we diagnose PCOS
A clear answer,
usually in one or two visits.
Consultation, tests and ultrasound are coordinated at the same hospital, so you don't have to go elsewhere.
Consultation
Your gynaecologist asks about your cycle history, symptoms, weight changes, family history and goals.
Examination
Weight, BP, waist, and checks for skin and hair changes. Done privately, with a female attendant present.
Blood tests
Hormones, thyroid, prolactin, blood sugar and cholesterol as advised, to confirm PCOS and rule out look-alikes.
Pelvic ultrasound
Shows the ovaries and uterine lining. Your doctor will advise which scan is suitable for you.
How doctors confirm it: PCOS is usually diagnosed when two of these three are present, after other causes are ruled out: irregular or absent ovulation, signs of high male hormones (in symptoms or blood tests), and polycystic-appearing ovaries on ultrasound.
Treatment options
Your treatment depends on
what you want to fix first.
Choose your main goal to see how treatment is usually planned. Your doctor will tailor it to your reports and health.
Getting your cycle back on track
The aim is regular periods and a protected uterine lining.
- Lifestyle plan firstDiet, activity and sleep changes, which help in most women
- Hormonal medication if suitableCommonly used to regulate cycles when you’re not planning pregnancy
- Insulin-sensitising medicine if neededConsidered when tests show insulin resistance
- Regular follow-upTrack your cycle, weight and reports, and adjust the plan
Good to know
Track your cycleNote the start date of each period and bring it to your visit.
Don't self-medicateAvoid starting hormone pills without a doctor’s check-up.
Most women see changes in their cycle within about 3 months of following a plan.
Helping you conceive with PCOS
The aim is regular ovulation and a healthy pregnancy.
- Pre-pregnancy check-upBlood sugar, thyroid, BP and folic acid started early
- Ovulation-inducing medicinePrescribed and adjusted by your gynaecologist
- Follicle monitoring scansUltrasound to see when an egg is ready
- Closer pregnancy carePCOS raises the chance of gestational diabetes, so you’re monitored closely after conceiving
When to see a doctor
Under 35See a doctor after 12 months of trying, or sooner if your periods are very irregular.
35 or olderSee a doctor after 6 months of trying.
Clearer skin and less unwanted hair
The aim is to lower the effect of male hormones on skin and hair.
- Hormone-balancing medicationCan reduce acne and slow hair growth over several months
- Anti-androgen medicine if suitableOnly when you’re not planning pregnancy
- Skin and hair care advicePlus referral for hair-removal options if needed
- Hair-fall assessmentThyroid, iron and vitamin levels checked as advised
Set expectations

Avoid harsh scrubsThey can make PCOS acne worse.
Managing weight and insulin resistance
The aim is better sugar control, energy and lower long-term risk.
- Metabolic screeningSugar tests, cholesterol, BP and waist measurement
- A realistic weight goalLosing even 5–10% of body weight can noticeably improve symptoms
- Insulin-sensitising medicine if neededWhen diet and exercise alone aren’t enough
- Joint care with a physicianIf your sugar is already high
Lean PCOS
Normal weight? You can still have PCOS.Treatment then focuses on your cycle, skin or fertility rather than weight loss.
Steady changes you can keep up work better than crash diets.
Medication and procedures are advised only after consultation. This page doesn't replace medical advice.

FAQs
Questions women ask
us about PCOS.
Don’t see your question? Send it to us and our team will call you back.
Ask a questionIs PCOS the same as PCOD?
In everyday use in India, PCOD and PCOS often refer to the same condition. Medically, PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) is a hormonal and metabolic syndrome diagnosed using set criteria, while "PCOD" is an informal term. Your gynaecologist will confirm what applies to you.
Can PCOS be cured permanently?
PCOS can't be permanently cured, but it can be managed well. Most women control their symptoms with lifestyle changes and, where needed, medication planned around their goal: regular periods, clearer skin, weight control or pregnancy.
Can I get pregnant if I have PCOS?
Yes. Many women with PCOS conceive, naturally or with treatment that helps ovulation. If you've been trying for 12 months (or 6 months if you're over 35), or your periods are very irregular, see a gynaecologist early.
Which tests are done for PCOS?
Usually a consultation and examination, blood tests for hormones, thyroid, prolactin, sugar and cholesterol as advised, and a pelvic ultrasound. Your doctor decides which tests are needed.
Does losing weight help PCOS?
For women who are overweight, losing even 5–10% of body weight can improve cycle regularity, ovulation and insulin resistance. Women at a healthy weight can also have PCOS and are treated based on their symptoms.
Is PCOS treatment covered by insurance?
Outpatient consultations and tests are often not covered, but this depends on your policy. Our help desk can check your insurer or TPA before planned procedures.
