PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) and PCOD are among the most common hormonal conditions in women of reproductive age. They can affect periods, skin and hair, weight and fertility, and they are also linked to long-term risks such as diabetes and high cholesterol, so ongoing care matters.
How we approach PCOS/PCOD
Treatment starts with a clear diagnosis and a conversation about what matters most to you: regular periods, clearer skin, weight, or planning a pregnancy.
- Lifestyle — realistic diet and exercise guidance. Even modest weight loss can restore ovulation in many women.
- Medical treatment — hormonal or other medicines to regulate cycles and control acne or hair growth, and treatment for insulin resistance where relevant.
- Fertility support — ovulation induction and monitoring for women who want to conceive.
- Long-term review — periodic checks of blood sugar, cholesterol and blood pressure.
When to see a gynaecologist
Seek advice if your periods are irregular or absent for months, if you have significant acne or hair growth, or if you have been trying to conceive without success. Early treatment protects both your cycle and your long-term health.
