Expert PCOD Treatment with Dr. Reshu Agarwal

PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disorder), also known as PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), is a common hormonal condition affecting women of reproductive age. It is one of the leading causes of infertility and can impact a woman’s menstrual cycle, hormonal levels, and overall reproductive health. Dr. Reshu Agarwal offers advanced diagnosis and tailored treatment plans to help women manage PCOD, improve their fertility, and lead healthier lives.

What is PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disorder)?

PCOD is a hormonal disorder that affects the ovaries, leading to the formation of small cysts on the ovaries. These cysts are actually immature follicles that fail to develop into mature eggs ready for ovulation. The condition is characterized by an imbalance of reproductive hormones, such as:
  • Increased androgen levels (male hormones like testosterone)
  • Irregular or absent ovulation
  • Impaired insulin sensitivity (leading to insulin resistance)
This hormonal imbalance can result in various symptoms that affect a woman’s overall health and fertility.

What are the main symptoms of PCOD?

  • Irregular Periods: Missed, delayed, or infrequent periods.
  • Excessive Hair Growth (Hirsutism): Unwanted hair on the face, chest, and abdomen.
  • Acne and Oily Skin: Increased acne and skin issues due to elevated testosterone levels.
  • Weight Gain: Difficulty losing weight or gaining weight around the abdomen.
  • Thinning Hair or Hair Loss: Hair thinning or male-pattern baldness.

What are the main causes of PCOD?

  • Genetic Factors: Family history of PCOD may increase the risk.
  • Hormonal Imbalance: High levels of androgens (male hormones) and an imbalance in reproductive hormones.
  • Insulin Resistance: Elevated insulin levels may cause the ovaries to produce more androgens, affecting ovulation and fertility.

Treatment for PCOD

Dr. Reshu Agarwal offers a range of treatments to manage PCOD effectively:
  • Lifestyle Changes: A balanced diet, regular exercise, and weight management can help regulate hormones and improve fertility.
  • Medications: Hormonal treatments (like birth control pills), anti-androgens for hair growth, and ovulation-inducing medications such as Clomid or Letrozole.
  • Fertility Treatments: For women struggling to conceive, treatments like IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) or IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) may be recommended.
