Fact 1: “PCOS is more common than we all think it to be. Did you know that it affects 1 in 5 teenage girls in India, which means about 20% of the population in this category? This condition is very common among women of reproductive age,” says Dr. Gunjan Gupta, a highly awarded gynaecologist Ghaziabad and Director & Founder of Gunjan IVF World – the best IVF clinic in Ghaziabad.

At Gunjan IVF World, we always believe in empowering patients with the right information to help them make informed decisions about their treatment,” stated Dr. Aastha Raheja, Consultant at the well-know IVF clinic in Indirapuram, Ghaziabad – Gunjan IVF World.

Fact 3: “PCOS is a highly individualised endocrinal hormonal condition. In this the ovaries produce excess male hormones – androgen which leads to hormonal imbalance in women of reproductive age.

Fact 4: “PCOS can trigger a variety of symptoms like weight gain, facial hair and acne. However, the case and symptoms may vary person-to-person. So, it is very important to check out for the symptoms,” said Dr. Megha Solanki, Consultant at Gunjan IVF World, Janakpuri.

Fact 5: “It has been commonly seen that women with PCOS also suffer from stress, anxiety and depression. Some lifestyle modifications can do wonders. I always suggest my patients to go for walks,” mentioned Dr. Shubhda Gupta, gynecologist Noida and Consultant at the best IVF clinic in Noida – Gunjan IVF World.

Fact 6: “PCOS is one of the most common causes of female infertility. This condition if not managed well, can lead to miscarriages, still births and gestational diabetes. So, make sure to go for regular health check-ups and consult your gynecologist to better manage the condition,” commented Dr. Anshu Dhar, Consultant at a famous IVF center in Indirapuram, Ghaziabad – Gunjan IVF World.
