PCOD / PCOS Treatment in Delhi
PCOD and PCOS are often used interchangeably in everyday conversation, though they're not quite identical — PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) is a hormonal disorder, while PCOD (polycystic ovarian disease) more broadly describes ovaries that release immature or partially mature eggs due to hormonal imbalance. Both are evaluated and treated similarly at Crystal Fertility and IVF Center.
Common Signs
- Irregular or absent periods
- Excess hair growth or acne linked to elevated androgens
- Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
- Difficulty conceiving due to irregular or absent ovulation
Treatment Approach
Treatment is tailored to whether you're trying to conceive right now or managing symptoms generally. For patients trying to conceive, this often starts with ovulation-induction medication, sometimes alongside weight management support, since even a modest change in weight can improve cycle regularity for some patients. If ovulation induction alone doesn't lead to pregnancy, IUI or IVF may be discussed next.
For patients not currently trying to conceive, treatment focuses on regulating cycles and managing symptoms like acne or excess hair growth.
