What is PCOS?

PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) is a hormonal disorder where the ovaries produce excess androgens (male hormones), disrupting normal ovulation. Women with PCOS often have multiple small follicles (cysts) on the ovaries — visible on an ultrasound scan.

Common PCOS symptoms include:
• Irregular or missed periods
• Excess hair growth on face, chest or abdomen (hirsutism)
• Acne or oily skin
• Weight gain, especially around the abdomen
• Difficulty conceiving
• Thinning hair or hair loss on the scalp

PCOS is diagnosed through a combination of symptoms, blood tests (hormonal profile) and pelvic ultrasound. At AMVI Hospitals, we provide a complete PCOS diagnosis package at both our Hyderabad branches.

Common symptoms of PCOS

In Vitro Fertilization in Hyderabad

Irregular menstrual cycles

Women with PCOS often experience irregular, delayed, or missed periods due to disturbed ovulation caused by hormonal imbalance.

Infertility or difficulty in conceiving

PCOS affects normal egg development and ovulation, making it harder for women to conceive naturally.

Increased male hormones (Hyperandrogenism)

Higher androgen levels may lead to excess facial and body hair growth (hirsutism), acne, pimples, and male-pattern hair thinning or baldness.

Weight gain and metabolic problems

Many women with PCOS have a tendency towards weight gain, obesity, abnormal lipid profile, and impaired glucose tolerance due to insulin resistance.

Increased risk of miscarriage

Hormonal imbalance and poor egg quality in PCOS can increase the chances of early pregnancy loss.

Polycystic ovarian changes on ultrasound

In PCOS, multiple small follicles are seen in the ovaries that do not mature or ovulate. These cysts may appear in a necklace pattern along the outer ovarian wall, giving the characteristic appearance of polycystic ovaries.

Causes of PCOS

Can You Get Pregnant with PCOS?

Yes — many women with PCOS can get pregnant, either naturally or with fertility treatment. PCOS is one of the most treatable causes of infertility.

Treatment options for PCOS-related infertility include:
• Ovulation induction with medication (Letrozole or Clomiphene) — the most common first step
• IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) combined with ovulation induction
• IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation) — recommended if other methods are unsuccessful
• Laparoscopic Ovarian Drilling — a surgical option that can trigger ovulation in some PCOS patients

At AMVI Hospitals, Dr. Shaivalini Kamarapu has helped many PCOS patients achieve successful pregnancies. The right treatment depends on your individual hormonal profile, age and partner’s fertility. Book a consultation to get a personalised fertility plan.

Diagnosis of PCOS

PCOS is diagnosed using internationally accepted clinical criteria. A woman is diagnosed with PCOS when at least two out of the following three features are present:

Irregular or absent menstrual cycles

Infrequent, delayed, or absent periods indicate ovulation dysfunction, which is a key feature of PCOS.

Elevated androgen levels

Increased male hormones (androgens) may be detected through blood tests or physical symptoms such as excessive facial or body hair, acne, or scalp hair thinning.

Polycystic ovaries on ultrasound

Ultrasound imaging may show enlarged ovaries with multiple small follicles arranged along the periphery, giving a typical polycystic appearance.

AMVI Hospital uses advanced hormonal testing and high-resolution pelvic ultrasound to ensure accurate and early PCOS diagnosis.

PCOS Treatment Options — Hormonal, Lifestyle and Medical

The treatment of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) depends on the patient’s symptoms, age, body weight, and fertility goals. At AMVI Hospital, PCOS management follows a stepwise, personalized approach, starting with lifestyle changes and progressing to advanced fertility treatments when required.

Lifestyle modification is the foundation of PCOS treatment. Maintaining a healthy body weight helps restore hormonal balance and improves ovulation naturally.

  • Ideal Body Mass Index (BMI): below 22.5
  • Even 5–10% weight loss can significantly improve menstrual regularity and ovulation
  • Improves insulin resistance and reduces androgen levels

A structured diet plan, regular physical activity, stress management, and adequate sleep are essential components. At AMVI Hospital, lifestyle plans are customized to each patient’s needs.

Oral fertility medicines are commonly used when lifestyle changes alone do not restore ovulation.

  • Induces ovulation in approximately 70–80% of women with PCOS
  • 50–60% pregnancy success rate with regular monitoring
  • Safe, effective, and widely used as first-line fertility treatment

Women who do not conceive with oral medicines may require advanced treatment options.

Injectable hormones such as FSH and LH are used to stimulate egg development in women who do not respond to oral medications.

  • Helps in controlled ovarian stimulation
  • Requires close ultrasound and hormonal monitoring
  • Higher risk of multiple follicle development

There is a possibility of Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS) and multiple pregnancies. Therefore, these injections should always be administered under the supervision of an experienced fertility specialist at AMVI Hospital.

IUI involves placing the partner’s prepared semen directly into the uterus at the time of ovulation.

  • Improves chances of conception in selected PCOS cases
  • Average success rate: 12–16% per cycle
  • Usually up to 3–4 cycles are recommended

IUI is often combined with ovulation induction for better results.

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is an advanced fertility treatment and is particularly effective for women with PCOS.

Advantages of IVF in PCOS:

  • Better control over the number of embryos transferred
  • Reduced risk of multiple pregnancies
  • Extra good-quality embryos can be frozen for future use
  • Frozen embryo transfer provides success rates similar to fresh cycles
  • Advanced protocols to prevent and manage OHSS

IVF allows the option of freeze-all cycles, ensuring embryo transfer in a hormonally balanced and safer uterine environment.

PCOS is a long-term condition that requires ongoing care.

  • Regular monitoring of hormonal and metabolic health
  • Prevention of diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease
  • Support for mental and emotional well-being

At AMVI Hospital, long-term PCOS management focuses on improving quality of life, reproductive health, and overall wellness.

FAQs related to PCOS

PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) and PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease) refer to the same condition — PCOD is the older term still commonly used in India. Both describe a hormonal disorder affecting the ovaries. The symptoms, diagnosis and treatment are identical.
PCOS is the most common cause of ovulatory infertility — but it is also one of the most treatable. Most women with PCOS can conceive with the right treatment, which may include lifestyle changes, medications to induce ovulation, IUI or IVF. Early diagnosis and treatment significantly improve outcomes.
 
PCOS cannot be cured permanently, but it can be effectively managed. With the right treatment — including lifestyle changes, weight management and medication — symptoms can be significantly reduced and fertility can be improved. Many women with PCOS live symptom-free with proper management.
 
Yes — even a 5–10% reduction in body weight can significantly improve PCOS symptoms and restore regular ovulation in overweight women with PCOS. Weight loss reduces insulin resistance, which is a key driver of hormonal imbalance in PCOS. Dr. Shaivalini provides dietary and lifestyle guidance as part of all PCOS treatment plans.
 
Yes — IVF is highly effective for PCOS patients, especially when simpler treatments have not worked. Women with PCOS often respond well to ovarian stimulation and produce good quality eggs. Special care is taken to avoid Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS), which is more common in PCOS patients. Dr. Shaivalini uses carefully tailored protocols to minimise this risk.
