Handling a Hormonal Imbalance disease
PCOD - PCOS
Polycystic Ovary Disease – Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Polycystic Ovary Disease (PCOD), also known as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), is a common hormonal disorder affecting women of reproductive age. It is characterized by a range of symptoms including irregular menstrual cycles, excessive hair growth, acne, and weight gain. It is also a leading cause of infertility due to ovulatory dysfunction.
In PCOD, the ovaries develop small cysts (fluid-filled sacs) and the hormone levels become imbalanced. This imbalance affects the normal functioning of the ovaries, leading to irregular ovulation or the absence of ovulation altogether. As a result, women with PCOD often experience irregular or missed periods, difficulty getting pregnant, and hormonal issues that manifest in physical symptoms like hirsutism (excessive hair growth on the face or body) and acne.
PCOD/PCOS SYMPTOMS
- The symptoms of PCOD/PCOS can vary among women but most common symptoms are -
- Irregular Periods: Women may experience irregular periods that may last more days than usual or may not come at all.
- Excessive Hair Growth: Due to elevated androgen levels, women may notice increased facial or body hair (hirsutism).
- Body & Face Acne: Hormonal imbalances can lead to acne that keeps on worsening, especially on the face, back, or chest.
- Weight Gain: Many women with PCOD/PCOS experience unexplained weight gain, particularly around the tummy.
- Thinning of Hair: Hair thinning or bald patches can also be commonly seen in many pcod/pcos patients.
- Problem in Getting Pregnant : Difficulty conceiving is a major concern for PCOS patients.
- Fatigue and Mood Swings: Feeling tired all the time and having mood swings is also common in PCOD/PCOS patients.
- Women with PCOS are at a higher risk for developing infertility and type 2 diabetes (due to insulin resistance), high blood pressure, obesity and high cholesterol levels etc. Due to all such problems, the mental health of the patient also takes a toll and the patient may suffer from anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem etc.

I was referred to Dr. Puja Jain Dewan after developing high blood pressure in the early stages of my pregnancy. She immediately put me on a closely monitored plan that included regular check-ups, medication adjustments, and dietary changes. Her proactive approach helped me avoid any severe complications. When I experienced issues towards the end of my pregnancy, Dr. Puja was there every step of the way, ensuring both my baby and I were safe. I successfully delivered a healthy baby girl, and I am forever grateful for the extraordinary care Dr Puja provided.
I was going through a pre-menopausal phase where I was having trouble managing my symptoms of hot flashes, irritability and mood swings. I am so glad that I visited Dr Puja for that. She listened to me patiently, made me feel comfortable and assured me that everything is going to be alright. She then suggested some lifestyle changes, dietary changes and prescribed some meds. I didn't know that all these things will make such a huge difference. I finally feel like myself again! Thank you Dr Puja You are an amazing doctor and a good human being.
As I was experiencing various annoying symptoms, My friend recommended Dr Puja So I visited her clinic. I was quite sceptical as I had never visited a gynac before. But the experience was great, she understood my concerns and diagnosed PCOS. She also reassured me that some lifestyle changes and meds will have it managed. I followed her advice religiously and I am perfectly fine again. All those annoying symptoms, mood swings and acne are now gone. Such gynaecologists are rare these days. She is now going to be my gyne for life! Thank You so much Ma'am
