Shree Ganesh Endocrine Centre in Vanasthalipuram, Hyderabad, specializes in the diagnosis and management of Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) or Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). PCOD, despite its name, is characterized by the development of multiple follicles in the ovaries rather than cysts. This hormonal disorder primarily affects women, particularly those who are overweight or obese.

 

Symptoms of PCOD:

PCOD manifests with irregular menstrual cycles, ranging from once in 2-3 months to prolonged absence of cycles. Women may experience excess facial and body hair, severe acne, and skin darkening in various areas. Fertility issues are common, and those who conceive are at higher risk of developing gestational diabetes.

Diagnosing PCOD:

Diagnosis involves assessing symptoms such as menstrual irregularities, acne, and excess hair, along with ultrasound imaging of the abdomen to examine the ovaries and uterus. Blood tests are also conducted to evaluate relevant hormone levels.

 

Causes of PCOD:

PCOD primarily stems from lifestyle factors such as diet and physical inactivity leading to obesity. Genetic predisposition, particularly a family history of PCOD, also plays a significant role in its development.

 

Treatment for PCOD:

Lifestyle modification is paramount in managing PCOD, with a focus on weight loss through calorie restriction and regular physical activity. Many women experience symptom improvement with diet, exercise, and weight loss alone. Medication may be prescribed based on individual symptoms. Regular monitoring of blood sugar and cholesterol levels is essential for women with PCOD.
