Although similar, PCOS tends to have more severe symptoms and can lead to long-term health risks such as diabetes, heart disease, and infertility if left untreated.
A healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management are key to managing PCOS/PCOD. Dr. Agarwal offers personalized guidance to help you adopt sustainable lifestyle changes.
Hormonal therapies, such as oral contraceptives, can regulate menstrual cycles, reduce symptoms like acne, and prevent complications. Insulin-sensitizing drugs may also be prescribed to manage insulin resistance.
For women trying to conceive, medications like Clomiphene or Letrozole may be used to induce ovulation, improving the chances of pregnancy.
In severe cases, laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) may be performed to restore ovulation by reducing the production of androgen hormones.
Living with PCOS/PCOD can be emotionally taxing. Dr. Agarwal and her team provide supportive counseling to help patients navigate their journey with confidence and positivity.
