What is PCOS?

A common, manageable hormonal condition

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) affects roughly 1 in 10 women of reproductive age. It's caused by an imbalance in reproductive hormones, often combined with insulin resistance — leading to irregular periods, ovulation difficulties, weight gain, acne, excessive hair growth, and challenges with fertility.

PCOS isn't a single disease but a syndrome that looks different in every patient. Some women have severe symptoms; others have mild signs. That's why personalised, ongoing care matters more than one-size-fits-all advice.

PCOS Symptoms

Signs you might have PCOS

Symptoms vary widely. You may have some, all, or just a few.

Irregular Periods

Cycles that are too long (over 35 days), too short, very heavy, or absent for months at a time.

Difficulty Conceiving

PCOS is one of the most common causes of infertility — but also one of the most treatable.

Weight Gain

Especially around the abdomen, often with difficulty losing weight despite effort.

Excessive Hair Growth

Coarse hair on the face, chest, abdomen or back — caused by higher androgen levels.

Acne & Skin Changes

Persistent adult acne, oily skin, or dark patches (acanthosis nigricans) on the neck or underarms.

Hair Thinning

Male-pattern thinning of scalp hair, especially around the crown.

Our Approach

How we treat PCOS at Srishti SAFE

Care is layered — we start with the simplest, most sustainable interventions and add complexity only when needed.

1. Diagnosis & Workup

Full hormonal panel, ultrasound, glucose and lipid screening. We rule out conditions that can mimic PCOS.

2. Lifestyle Foundation

Diet, exercise and sleep advice tailored to your reality. A 5–10% weight change often dramatically improves cycles and ovulation.

3. Hormonal Support

Where indicated, medication to regularise cycles, manage androgens or address insulin resistance.

4. Fertility Support

If you're trying to conceive: ovulation induction with oral medication, sometimes IUI, rarely IVF — in that escalation order.

5. Skin & Hair Care

Treatment options for acne, hirsutism and hair thinning — alongside the underlying hormonal management.

6. Long-term Monitoring

PCOS increases lifetime risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and endometrial issues. Regular monitoring protects long-term health.

PCOS FAQs

Questions we hear often

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal condition affecting about 1 in 10 women of reproductive age. It causes irregular periods, ovulation difficulties, and can affect fertility, weight, skin and long-term metabolic health.

PCOS doesn't have a permanent cure — but symptoms can be managed very effectively with the right combination of lifestyle change, medication and personalised treatment. Many women with PCOS conceive naturally once cycles are regulated.

Yes — the vast majority of women with PCOS conceive, often with simple medication-based ovulation induction. Lifestyle support amplifies treatment. IUI and IVF are reserved for cases where these first steps don't work.

PCOS can make weight loss harder due to insulin resistance, and weight gain can worsen PCOS symptoms — a frustrating loop. Even a 5–10% weight reduction often dramatically improves cycles, ovulation and skin.

Diagnosis uses the Rotterdam criteria — needing two of three: irregular ovulation, signs of high androgens (acne, hair growth, blood tests), and polycystic ovaries on ultrasound. We rule out other causes that can mimic PCOS.
