PCOS / PCOD

PCOS / PCOD Treatment in South Extension, Delhi | Dr. Nalini Gupta Fertility Care

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common hormonal disorders in women of reproductive age and a leading cause of ovulatory infertility. It is manageable, and most women with PCOS can achieve pregnancy with the right support.

What Is PCOS?

PCOS is a condition in which the ovaries produce excess androgens (male hormones), disrupting the normal ovulation cycle. This leads to irregular or absent periods, multiple small follicles on the ovaries visible on ultrasound, and hormonal imbalance affecting fertility, metabolism, and overall health.

Symptoms

Common symptoms include irregular periods, difficulty conceiving, acne, excess facial or body hair (hirsutism), scalp hair thinning, unexplained weight gain, and mood disturbances. Not every woman with PCOS experiences all of these.

How PCOS Affects Fertility

PCOS disrupts regular ovulation, making it harder to conceive naturally. However, PCOS does not mean infertility is inevitable. Many women with PCOS conceive with targeted treatment.

Treatment at Dr. Nalini Gupta Fertility Care

Management begins with lifestyle assessment. Weight reduction of even 5 to 10 percent in overweight patients can restore regular ovulation in some cases. If lifestyle changes are insufficient, ovulation induction with oral medication or injections is the next step. For women who do not respond, or where other fertility factors are also present, IVF with carefully calibrated stimulation protocols is offered to minimise the risk of OHSS, which is higher in PCOS patients. Dr. Nalini Gupta tailors every PCOS management plan individually, balancing effectiveness with safety.
