PCOS
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is the most common hormonal disorder in women of reproductive age, affecting 1 in 5 women in India. It is caused by elevated androgen (male hormone) levels that disrupt ovulation, leading to irregular or absent periods, fluid-filled ovarian cysts, and metabolic changes. PCOS is a leading cause of female infertility. Iswarya Hospital's Gynecology department provides comprehensive PCOS management including hormonal therapy, insulin sensitisers (Metformin), lifestyle intervention programmes, and fertility treatments (IUI, IVF) for women trying to conceive. Laparoscopic ovarian drilling is available for cases unresponsive to medication.
