Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) – with Dr. Dipti Gadge

PCOS is a hormonal disorder in women of reproductive age, causing imbalances, insulin resistance, and ovarian cysts. It affects ovarian function, leading to various symptoms and health risks.

What causes PCOS?

The exact cause of PCOS remains unclear, but several key factors contribute to its onset:

  1.   Higher-than-normal levels of androgens (male hormones) like testosterone and luteinizing hormone (LH) interfere with the body's natural hormonal balance.
  2.   The body's cells do not effectively respond to insulin, leading to excess insulin production, which can further impact hormone levels.
  3.   Can be Genetic Influence a family history of PCOS increases the likelihood of developing the condition.
  4.   Lack of physical activity, an unhealthy diet, and obesity can worsen symptoms and contribute to hormonal imbalances

Understanding PCOS Symptoms

PCOS can cause irregular or absent periods, heavy menstrual bleeding, and infrequent ovulation. Excess androgen levels may lead to acne, unwanted hair growth, and hair thinning. Polycystic ovaries, insulin resistance, and difficulty losing weight are common. Some individuals may also experience mood swings, anxiety, or depression.

Managing PCOS

Dr. Dipti Gadge emphasizes a holistic approach to managing PCOS, combining lifestyle modifications, medication, and regular monitoring to improve overall well-being:

  1. A healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management help regulate hormones and improve symptoms.
  2. Hormonal contraceptives and medications like metformin can restore menstrual cycles and reduce androgen effects.
  3. For fertility concerns, assisted reproductive treatments may be recommended to improve conception chances.
  4. Regularly tracking hormones, blood sugar, and cholesterol helps detect and manage potential PCOS complications.
