PCOS Treatment In Mumbai

PCOS, or polycystic ovarian syndrome or polycystic ovarian disease, is a name given to a hormonal imbalance that may present as follows:

  • Menstrual irregularities: no menses, irregular menses, less bleeding during menses.
  • Abnormal (androgenic pattern) hair growth over the chin, upper lip, cheeks, etc., or excessive hair growth on arms and legs.
  • Increase in weight.

There is enlargement of one or both the ovaries, which leads the ovaries and a gland (pituitary) in the brain to secrete hormones in an irregular manner. This hormonal irregularity further leads to failure of ovulation (egg) from the ovaries and thereby difficulty in conceiving, increased and abnormal hair growth, and weight gain.

What is the cause of PCOS?

As already discussed the hormonal imbalance in PCOS women leads to an-ovulation. This means that the egg does not mature properly and is also not released from the ovaries, hence not able to fertilize with the sperm and form an embryo. In some cases the quality of the egg is also poor. This diminished release of egg leads to infertility and decreases chances of having a baby. In addition increased body fat can also have harmful effect on the lining of the uterus and thereby failure of implantation. Weight gain, which goes hand in hand with PCOS can also affect fertility, though indirectly.

If you are experiencing these issues, you should consult Ankoor fertility clinic for PCOD treatment.

PCOS treatment in Mumbai for infertility.

Simultaneous weight loss significantly helps in achieving results earlier with a lower dosage of drugs and injections for PCOS treatment in Mumbai. Women undergoing PCOD treatment mumbai also benefit from an anti-diabetic drug called metformin. Metformin affects the way insulin controls blood glucose (sugar) and lowers testosterone production. It also slows the growth of abnormal hair and, after a few months of use, may help return ovulation. The use of metformin along with ovulation-inducing drugs has shown better results and higher pregnancy rates in women seeking PCOD treatment Mumbai.

If the above PCOD treatment modality fails to achieve ovulation, laparoscopic surgery called ovarian drilling can be done. This involves puncturing the ovary with a small needle carrying an electric current to destroy a small portion of the bulky polycystic ovary. This procedure carries a small risk of adhesion formation, which can be avoided by washing the ovary with saline after the drilling. This surgery helps lower male hormone levels and induce ovulation, but these effects may only last a few months. Thus, women seeking PCOS treatment in Mumbai may consider this surgical option if other treatments are not successful.
