Understanding PCOS

PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) is a hormonal disorder that affects women of reproductive age. It causes enlarged ovaries with multiple small cysts, irregular periods, excessive androgen levels, weight issues, and can lead to fertility challenges. While the exact cause of PCOS is unknown, early diagnosis and proper treatment can reduce risks and manage symptoms effectively.

At Gold Medica IVF, Dr Preeti Jindal leads a team of experienced specialists dedicated to offering tailored and holistic PCOS treatments. With state-of-the-art technology and compassionate care, we help women regain hormonal balance and restore reproductive health.

Symptoms of PCOS

PCOS symptoms can vary from woman to woman. Some may experience mild symptoms, while others may face significant challenges. Common symptoms include:

Irregular or missed menstrual cycles

Excess hair growth on the face or body (hirsutism)

Acne or oily skin

Thinning hair or male-pattern baldness

Weight gain or difficulty losing weight

Dark patches of skin (especially around the neck or underarms)

Infertility or difficulty conceiving

If you notice any of these signs, we recommend booking a consultation with Dr Preeti Jindal at Gold Medica IVF for an accurate diagnosis.

Causes and Risk Factors of PCOS

While the exact cause of PCOS is still unknown, several factors may contribute to its development:

Insulin resistance: High insulin levels can stimulate excess androgen production.

Genetics: PCOS often runs in families.

Inflammation: Low-grade inflammation may trigger polycystic ovaries to produce androgens.

Hormonal imbalance: Elevated levels of luteinizing hormone (LH) and androgens disrupt ovulation.

Our expert team focuses on identifying the underlying cause in each individual case, allowing for highly personalized treatment plans.

Diagnosis of PCOS at Gold Medica IVF

A timely and accurate diagnosis is crucial to managing PCOS effectively. At Gold Medica IVF, our diagnostic process includes:

Medical history review

Physical examination

Pelvic ultrasound to check for cysts on the ovaries

Blood tests to measure hormone levels such as testosterone, LH, FSH, and insulin

With these insights, Dr Preeti Jindal creates a customized treatment plan tailored to your hormonal profile and fertility goals.

How PCOS Affects Fertility

One of the most challenging aspects of PCOS is its impact on fertility. PCOS can interfere with ovulation, making it difficult for women to conceive. The hormonal imbalance prevents the ovaries from releasing eggs regularly, which is essential for conception.

However, fertility problems related to PCOS are highly treatable. At Gold Medica IVF, we specialize in advanced reproductive treatments such as ovulation induction, IUI, and IVF. Many of our patients with PCOS have gone on to experience healthy pregnancies under our care.

Treatment Options for PCOS at Gold Medica IVF

We offer a multi-disciplinary approach to PCOS management, combining medical treatment, lifestyle changes, and fertility solutions. Each patient receives an individualized care plan depending on her symptoms, goals, and health profile.

1. Lifestyle Modifications

The foundation of PCOS management often starts with weight loss, exercise, and dietary changes. Even a 5-10% reduction in body weight can help restore ovulation and reduce symptoms.

Our team provides:

Personalized nutrition counseling

Exercise recommendations

Stress-reduction strategies such as yoga and mindfulness

2. Medications

Depending on your symptoms and reproductive plans, Dr Preeti Jindal may prescribe medications such as:

Oral contraceptives: To regulate periods and reduce androgen levels

Metformin: To improve insulin sensitivity

Anti-androgens: To manage symptoms like acne and hair growth

Ovulation-inducing drugs: Such as Clomiphene citrate or Letrozole for women trying to conceive

3. Fertility Treatments

If you’re planning for a baby, Gold Medica IVF offers comprehensive fertility services, including:

Ovulation induction: Using hormonal medications to stimulate egg release

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI): Placing sperm directly into the uterus during ovulation

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF): Fertilizing eggs outside the body and implanting embryos

IVM (In Vitro Maturation): A newer technique suitable for PCOS patients to reduce risks of ovarian hyperstimulation

Dr Preeti Jindal’s expertise in treating PCOS-related infertility has made Gold Medica IVF a trusted name among women seeking advanced reproductive care.

Long-Term Risks of Untreated PCOS

PCOS is not just a reproductive issue—it can affect long-term health if not properly managed. Women with PCOS are at higher risk of:

Type 2 diabetes

Hypertension

High cholesterol

Heart disease

Sleep apnea

Endometrial cancer

That’s why early intervention, regular follow-up, and comprehensive care are essential. At Gold Medica IVF, we help patients not only manage their symptoms but also monitor their long-term health risks through routine screening and preventive care.

Emotional and Mental Health Support

Living with PCOS can be emotionally exhausting. Many women experience mood swings, anxiety, or depression due to hormonal changes and the physical effects of the condition.

At Gold Medica IVF, we recognize the mind-body connection. Our team offers mental health support, including counseling and support groups, to help women navigate the emotional challenges of PCOS with confidence and resilience.
