PCOS

PCOS is a condition that occurs due to hormonal imbalance. The exact cause is not known but is believed to be hereditary. In PCOS, a woman has more than normal male hormones that cause menstrual irregularities, acne, excessive facial hair, or difficulty conceiving. Once a diagnosis has been made based on clinical examination and investigation, Dr. Neha Bansal suggests starting treatment by advising lifestyle changes that, if followed, will help improve symptoms in many patients. Depending on the patient's clinical profile, certain medications may also be prescribed to restore hormonal balance.
