PCOS Treatment in Noida — Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Expert diagnosis, empathetic care, and advanced fertility solutions for PCOS at Prakash Hospital, led by top gynaecology specialists.
What is PCOS?
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a complex metabolic and endocrine disorder where a woman's body produces higher-than-normal levels of male hormones (androgens). This hormonal imbalance creates a domino effect: it disrupts the menstrual cycle, stops the ovaries from releasing mature eggs, and frequently leads to severe insulin resistance. Over time, untreated PCOS significantly increases the risk of infertility, Type 2 Diabetes, and heart disease.
PCOS vs PCOD: What's the Difference?
While they sound similar, they are distinct. PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease) is primarily a lifestyle disorder where ovaries release immature eggs that turn into cysts. It is extremely common and largely managed with diet. PCOS, on the other hand, is a severe systemic disorder affecting the entire endocrine system. Women with PCOS often suffer from intense metabolic issues (like insulin resistance) and face a much higher risk of infertility than those with PCOD.
PCOS Symptoms
Irregular Periods
Fewer than 8 periods a year, or periods that last unusually long.
Hair Loss & Thinning
Male-pattern baldness and severe hair thinning on the scalp.
Stubborn Weight Gain
Extreme difficulty losing weight, specifically belly fat, due to insulin resistance.
Acne & Hirsutism
Cystic acne and excess, coarse facial or body hair growth.
Infertility
Difficulty getting pregnant due to absent or highly unpredictable ovulation.
Primary Causes:
Genetics (hereditary factors), severe insulin resistance (where cells can't use insulin properly), and high levels of chronic inflammation in the body.
Diagnosis & Treatment Options
How We Diagnose PCOS:
- Blood Tests: To measure hormone levels (testosterone, LH, FSH) and check fasting glucose for insulin resistance.
- Pelvic Ultrasound: To visually inspect the ovaries for the characteristic "string of pearls" cyst formations and check the uterine lining.
Our Treatment Options:
- Lifestyle Modifications: Targeted weight loss, a low-glycemic diet, and daily exercise to naturally drop insulin levels.
- Medication: Birth control pills to regulate periods; Metformin to combat insulin resistance; Spironolactone to block male hormones (reducing acne and hair growth); and Clomiphene to induce ovulation for pregnancy.
- Surgery (Rare): Laparoscopic Ovarian Drilling (LOD) may be considered if medications fail to induce ovulation.
The Importance of a PCOS Diet
Because insulin resistance is the primary driver of PCOS for many women, fixing your diet is non-negotiable. Eating a balanced diet rich in complex carbohydrates, lean proteins, and essential vitamins is critical to naturally restoring hormonal balance.
When to See a Doctor
If your periods have stopped, you are experiencing sudden hair loss, or you have been actively trying to conceive for over a year without success, you need expert medical care immediately. Ignoring PCOS can lead to severe long-term complications including endometrial cancer.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can PCOS be cured?
While there is no permanent 'cure' for PCOS, its symptoms can be highly effectively managed. With the right combination of lifestyle changes, a targeted low-glycemic diet, and appropriate medical treatments from a specialist, women with PCOS can lead completely normal, symptom-free lives.
What foods to avoid in PCOS?
Women with PCOS should strictly avoid highly processed foods, refined carbohydrates (like white bread, maida, pastries), sugary beverages, and excessive dairy, as these spike insulin levels and directly worsen the hormonal imbalance.
Can PCOS cause infertility?
Yes, PCOS is one of the most common, but treatable, causes of female infertility. Because of the hormonal imbalance, the ovaries struggle to release a mature egg (anovulation). However, with ovulation-inducing medications and proper medical supervision, many women with PCOS successfully conceive.
