Hello,

You might be aware that PCOS (Polycystic Ovaries Syndrome) is a lifestyle disorder and can be managed by healthy lifestyle changes. In such case, ovaries show increased size and volume, also show tiny fluid filled cysts (follicles) located peripherally.

All these changes lead to absence of ovulation and hormonal imbalance. There is weight gain, usually on the tummy; also there is unwanted hair growth in face and other body parts and oily skin and acne.

Most of the patients do have irregular menstrual period. This can have impact on fertility as well as on metabolic processes.

So, along with medical line of treatment; which includes ovulation induction medicines if required when you are trying for pregnancy and Metformin like insulin resistance lowering agents or low dose oral contraceptive pills like Krimson 35 to regulate the periods, you need lifestyle changes also.

Please try to have your weight around 55 kg with aim of reducing 1 to 2 kg per month, to achieve body mass index of 23 to 24.

Please opt for a healthy diet and regular exercise regimen, include more portions of fruits and vegetables and salads in daily diet and drink plenty of water in the day.

Avoid refined sugars and deep fried foods and bakery products in the diet. Please take Iron, Calcium, protein and vitamin B12 and Folic acid supplementation on regular basis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Purushottam Neurgaonkar
