PCOS/PMOS Treatment in Loni Kalbhor
At Bloom Hospital, women experiencing PCOS/PCOD-related symptoms can consult a gynecologist for evaluation, diagnosis and an individualized treatment plan based on their symptoms, reproductive goals and overall health.
PCOS or PCOD — Are They the Same Thing?
PCOS is not simply an ovarian problem or a condition caused by having “cysts” on the ovaries. It is a complex hormonal and metabolic condition that can affect women differently. PCOD is often considered a milder version, while PCOS carries more significant hormonal and long-term health implications.
Some women mainly experience irregular periods or acne, while others may have difficulty with ovulation and pregnancy. PCOS is also associated with increased risks of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and other metabolic health problems.
Treatment therefore focuses on the individual’s symptoms, health risks and reproductive plans rather than following one treatment for every patient.
Quick Answer
PCOS/PCOD, now also referred to as PMOS, is a common hormonal and metabolic condition that can cause irregular periods, ovulation problems, acne, excess facial or body hair and difficulty conceiving. There is no single treatment that works for every patient. Management may include lifestyle measures, medicines for menstrual or hormonal symptoms, metabolic risk management and fertility treatment when pregnancy is desired.
What Is PCOS/PCOD or PMOS?
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is a hormonal condition that commonly develops during the reproductive years.
The condition may involve:
- Irregular or infrequent menstrual periods
- Problems with ovulation
- Higher-than-normal androgen levels
- Acne or oily skin
- Excess facial or body hair
- Hair thinning or female-pattern hair loss
What Causes PCOS?
There is no single known cause of PCOS.
Genetic factors, hormonal changes and metabolic factors can all contribute to the development of the condition. Women with a family history of PCOS or type 2 diabetes may have a higher risk.
PCOS is also associated with changes in androgen levels and insulin-related metabolic processes.
Importantly, PCOS is not caused simply by eating certain foods, being overweight or having an unhealthy lifestyle.
Lifestyle factors can influence symptoms and metabolic health, but PCOS is a complex medical condition.
Common Symptoms of PCOS/PCOD
- Irregular Periods
Periods may occur less frequently, become unpredictable or sometimes stop for extended periods.
- Acne and Oily Skin
Higher androgen activity may contribute to persistent or adult acne and increased oil production.
- Excess Facial or Body Hair
Some women develop increased hair growth on areas such as the face, chin, chest or abdomen.
- Hair Thinning
PCOS-related androgen changes can contribute to female-pattern hair thinning in some women.
- Difficulty Conceiving
Irregular or absent ovulation can make it more difficult to become pregnant.
Tests & Laboratory Facilities
Ultrasound recommended to assess the uterus and ovaries and evaluate ovarian morphology when clinically appropriate.
Blood or other laboratory investigations may be recommended based on your symptoms and treatment plan, subject to availability of the specific test.
Follicular monitoring is considered when PCOS is associated with irregular or absent ovulation, particularly when pregnancy is being planned.
Prescribed medicines and other medications required as part of PCOS management can be accessed through the hospital pharmacy
How Is PCOS Diagnosed?
PCOS cannot be diagnosed based on one symptom or one ultrasound scan alone.
In adults, current international guidance generally considers PCOS when two of the following three features are present after other possible causes have been excluded:
| Diagnostic Feature | What It May Include |
|---|---|
| Ovulatory dysfunction | Irregular or absent periods |
| Hyperandrogenism | Excess facial/body hair, acne, hair loss or elevated androgen levels |
| Polycystic ovaries | Polycystic ovarian morphology on ultrasound or, in adults, an appropriate AMH-based assessment |
Types Tests for PCOS
Depending on your symptoms and medical history, your doctor may recommend investigations such as:
Hormonal Tests
Blood tests may be used to evaluate androgen levels and assess other hormonal causes of irregular periods or related symptoms.
Blood Sugar Assessment
PCOS is associated with an increased risk of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, so metabolic assessment may be appropriate.
Lipid Profile
Cholesterol and other cardiovascular risk factors may be assessed depending on individual risk.
Thyroid and Other Hormonal Tests
Conditions such as thyroid disorders and elevated prolactin can cause symptoms similar to PCOS and may need to be excluded.
Pelvic Ultrasound
Ultrasound may be used to assess the ovaries and uterus and to investigate other gynecological causes of symptoms.
The investigations required vary from patient to patient. Not every woman with suspected PCOS needs every test.
Types of PCOS Treatment Depends on Your Goal
| Main Concern | Treatment Approach |
|---|---|
| Irregular periods | Menstrual cycle regulation and hormonal treatment where appropriate |
| Acne or excess hair | Hormonal treatment and other symptom-specific therapies |
| Metabolic risk | Lifestyle measures and medical management when indicated |
| Difficulty conceiving | Ovulation-focused fertility treatment |
| Weight concerns | Sustainable nutrition, physical activity and individualized medical support |
PCOS and Pregnancy
Women with PCOS can become pregnant, but pregnancy may require closer attention to certain health risks.
PCOS is associated with an increased risk of some pregnancy complications, including gestational diabetes and high blood pressure during pregnancy.
If you have PCOS and are planning pregnancy, discussing your health with a gynecologist before conception can help identify factors that may need attention.
Once pregnant, antenatal care should be planned according to your individual risk factors.
When Should You See a Gynecologist for PCOS?
If you have these symptoms then consulting a gynecologist is very important:
- Periods that are consistently irregular or absent
- New or worsening facial hair
- Persistent acne after adolescence
- Unexplained hair thinning
- Difficulty becoming pregnant
- Unexplained changes in weight or metabolic health
- Recurrent menstrual irregularity
- Previous diagnosis of PCOS without regular follow-up
You do not need to wait until you are trying to conceive before seeking care. Early evaluation can help identify menstrual, hormonal and metabolic concerns and establish an appropriate long-term management plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is PMOS?
PMOS stands for Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome. It is the newer terminology introduced internationally for the condition previously known as PCOS. Many patients and healthcare websites still use the terms PCOS and PCOD.
Is PCOS the same as PCOD?
The terms PCOS and PCOD are often used interchangeably by patients, although terminology and clinical definitions may differ. For patients seeking care, the important point is to undergo an appropriate medical evaluation rather than relying on the name alone.
Can PCOS be cured permanently?
There is currently no permanent cure for PCOS, but symptoms and associated health risks can be managed through lifestyle measures, medicines and fertility treatment when required.
Can I get pregnant if I have PCOS?
Yes. PCOS can interfere with ovulation and make conception more difficult for some women, but pregnancy is possible. Treatment may help restore or induce ovulation when required.
Does PCOS always cause weight gain?
No. PCOS can occur in women across different body sizes. Weight alone cannot diagnose or exclude PCOS.
Can PCOS cause irregular periods?
Yes. Irregular or infrequent periods are among the common features of PCOS and may occur because ovulation is irregular or absent.
Can PCOS cause infertility?
PCOS can interfere with ovulation and is a common cause of ovulatory infertility. However, many women with PCOS can become pregnant naturally or with appropriate fertility treatment.
