Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects a large number of women in India, yet diagnosis often comes years after symptoms begin.
Common signs include irregular cycles, excess androgen symptoms (acne, hair growth), and metabolic changes. You do not need every symptom to seek evaluation.
Treatment is individual: lifestyle changes, hormonal therapy, or metformin may be discussed with your gynaecologist or endocrinologist. There is no single “PCOS diet,” but protein, fiber, sleep, and movement you can sustain beat extreme restriction.
Ask for lab work, ask for explanations, and get a second opinion if you are brushed off.
