PCOS / PCOD Treatment

PCOS / PCOD/ Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS) — Diagnosis and Management

Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS) commonly known as Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS, also called PCOD) is one of the most common hormonal conditions in women of reproductive age. It can cause:

• Irregular or missed periods

• Acne and excess facial or body hair

• Weight gain

• Difficulty getting pregnant

How it is diagnosed: history and examination, hormone blood tests and a pelvic ultrasound.

How it is managed: each plan is built around the woman's own goals — regular cycles, skin and hair concerns, weight, or pregnancy. It usually combines:

• Lifestyle and diet changes

• Medicines to regulate cycles

• Ovulation support for women trying to conceive

• Long-term checks for diabetes and cholesterol
