PCOS / PCOD Treatment in Bhandup West, Mumbai

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) are among the most common hormonal conditions affecting women of reproductive age in India today. If you have been told you have PCOS or PCOD — or suspect you might — Dr. Swapna's Mothercare in Bhandup West, Mumbai is here to help you understand your condition and manage it effectively.

PCOS vs PCOD — What's the Difference?

PCOD refers to a condition where the ovaries produce many immature eggs that become cysts. It is primarily a lifestyle-related disorder and is manageable with diet and medication. PCOS is a more complex hormonal syndrome where the body's endocrine system is disrupted, affecting ovulation, insulin regulation, and overall metabolism. PCOS has broader health implications and may require longer-term management.

Common Symptoms of PCOS/PCOD

• Irregular, infrequent, or absent periods

• Unexplained weight gain, especially around the abdomen

• Excess facial or body hair (hirsutism)

• Acne and oily skin

• Hair thinning or hair loss from the scalp

• Difficulty getting pregnant (anovulation)

• Dark patches on skin (acanthosis nigricans)

• Mood swings, anxiety, or depression

How Is PCOS/PCOD Diagnosed?

Dr. Swapna diagnoses PCOS/PCOD using a combination of detailed history, physical examination, pelvic ultrasound (to visualise ovarian cysts), and blood tests including LH, FSH, testosterone, prolactin, thyroid, insulin, and fasting glucose levels.

• Hormonal therapy to regulate periods

• Anti-androgen medications for hair and skin concerns

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can PCOS be cured permanently?

A: PCOS cannot always be permanently cured, but it can be effectively managed. With the right lifestyle changes, diet, and medical treatment, most women with PCOS lead healthy lives and can conceive.

Q: Does PCOS cause weight gain?

A: Yes. Insulin resistance associated with PCOS often leads to weight gain, particularly around the abdomen. Weight loss of even 5–10% of body weight can significantly improve PCOS symptoms.

Q: Can a teenager have PCOS?

A: Yes. PCOS can develop in teenage girls soon after the onset of puberty. Early diagnosis and lifestyle guidance are important to prevent long-term complications.
