Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

PCOS is the most prevalent endocrine disorder among women of reproductive age, affecting approximately 5-10% of women globally. In India, the prevalence ranges from 7.2% to 19.6%, making it a significant public health concern.

The PCOS-Metabolic Connection: PCOS is more than a reproductive disorder—it is a metabolic condition characterized by insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, abdominal obesity, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. These metabolic traits culminate in serious long-term consequences including:

  • Type 2 diabetes mellitus
  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Infertility
  • Endometrial hyperplasia and cancer

Our Approach: We promote a life-cycle approach to PCOS management, recognizing that the condition evolves from adolescence through menopause. Our multidisciplinary model integrates:

  • Lifestyle modification (diet and exercise)
  • Nutritional counseling
  • Psychological support for anxiety and depression
  • Hormonal and metabolic screening
  • Dermatological support for hyperandrogenism

Research from our partner institutions confirms that integrated multidisciplinary care leads to early identification and treatment of PCOS comorbidities, with *31.4% of women achieving pregnancy within one year of multidisciplinary management*.
