Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is a condition where a woman’s hormones go out of balance. This is often due to poor lifestyle habits and an unhealthy diet, but can sometimes also be genetic in nature.
In addition to causing irregular periods, other menstrual problems and cysts on your ovaries, PCOS can cause unwanted changes in the way you look such as acne, excess facial or bodily hair growth, hair loss and weight gain that is very difficult to lose.
In some cases, it is also possible that your periods are regular, but you can still have PCOS which still leads to insulin sensitivity and all the above side effects.
If left untreated, it can also lead to long-term problems such as infertility, diabetes or pre-diabetes among young girls.
PCOS affects about 3/5 women today across various age groups and therefore we have developed a comprehensive plan to tackle this rampant condition.
Unlike any other Skin Expert, Dr. Kiran also offers a Natural Program through which she recommends diets and supplements that can help get your hormones in check. She works on treating your PCOS as holistically as possible.
Also, because the facial and body hair is thicker and more resistant, we have special laser hair removal techniques in place to treat this condition. Isya also offers long-term solutions for acne and scalp hair loss that occurs due to PCOS.
Healthline describes PCOS or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome as “a condition that affects a woman’s hormone levels. Women with PCOS produce higher-than-normal amounts of male hormones. This hormone imbalance causes their body to skip menstrual periods and makes it harder for them to get pregnant.” PCOS is a condition that women can be diagnosed with at any age, after they experience their first menstrual cycle.
The most common symptoms for PCOS include:
There are multiple reasons that may contribute to a woman dealing with PCOS. They include but are not limited to the following:
No single test can diagnose PCOS by itself. Your gynaecologist will administer a host of tests and checks to understand if you are suffering from PCOS.
As part of your first consultation, your gynaecologist will aim to understand your general medical history, your menstrual cycle and any physical changes you may have observed over the past few months. This also includes excessive hair growth, acne or painful or missed periods.
If your symptoms point towards PCOS, your gynaecologist will conduct an external pelvic examination to check for any abnormal growth, followed by a blood test to understand any hormonal imbalance that may be present and an ultrasound as a final test.
Since PCOS is an ovarian disorder, the one aspect of your health that is majorly affected is your menstrual cycle. You may experience irregular periods or miss your periods altogether, which affects the natural functioning of your body and overall health.
Another common complication caused by PCOS is that of painful periods causing discomfort and hampering your lifestyle. This may lead to heavy reliance on pain medication and other treatments such as heat application to ease the cramps.
It is recommended that you consult with your dermatologist in regards to the frequency you can consume painkillers and if there is a better alternative for you to manage your pain.
Your hormones need to be functioning optimally month on month for your ovaries to release an egg and for you to get pregnant. The hormonal imbalance caused due to PCOS can affect your fertility and may require you to take medication or IVF treatment to improve your chances to get pregnant.
According to Healthline, “Women with PCOS are twice as likely as women without the condition to deliver their baby prematurely. They’re also at greater risk for miscarriage, high blood pressure, and gestational diabetes.”
Keeping track of your weight through your pregnancy can help reduce the risk of complications throughout your term.
The excess amount of androgens can cause hair growth in areas you don’t necessarily want, such as the chin, jawline and neck area. This can also lead to excess hair on the sides of your face and upper lip area.
The efficacy of treatments like laser hair removal may be affected by PCOS — make sure that you let your dermatologist or aesthetician know about any hormonal concerns before you sign up for it.
Chronic acne is also a sign of PCOS and a symptom that women often have to deal with. This persistent acne requires treatment which can include oral and topical medication.
If you’re dealing with hormonal acne, it’s best to consult your dermatologist for the course of action to tackle it as opposed to self medicating. Reach out to us at Isya to help you treat your acne.
PCOS also puts you at risk of developing diabetes or high blood pressure if not managed well.
PCOS leads to a hormonal imbalance which can significantly impact your moods and mental health. It can lead to an onset of depression and anxiety and can also affect the quality of your sleep.
PCOS is caused due to poor diets and lifestyle habits, and we not only believe in treating the side-effects, but curing the condition from the root. Dr. Kiran asks you to undergo a set of simple blood tests to determine your hormone and insulin levels that cause PCOS.
She and her team of experts then offer nutritional diets, supplements and lifestyle changes to balance your hormones and transform the way you look and feel. It’s a holistic approach to this plaguing condition and you’ll love every bit of the results.

Keeping track of your menstrual cycle is the most important step to correctly diagnose any hormonal concerns you may be dealing with.
If you notice that your periods are irregular month on month, you miss your period from time to time, have excessively painful periods, chronic acne or hair growth in areas you normally wouldn’t, it’s time to see your gynaecologist and seek medical help for what could be a hormonal disorder.
PCOS can affect a woman at any age in her life after her first menstrual cycle. It is important to note that while everyone’s menstrual symptoms differ, if you find that your period has been drastically different for a few months when there haven’t been any drastic changes in your lifestyle, you should see a doctor.
In fact, it is worth it to see your gynaecologist once every six months at least for a routine check-up to rule out any hormonal imbalances, vaginal health concerns and the risk of breast cancer.
With conditions like PCOS, while your individual symptoms can be treated with medication, lifestyle changes play the most important role to reduce overall discomfort and manage the disorder. Losing weight if you are on the obese side is imperative for your medication to work effectively as well.
Following a regular exercise routine and a low-carb, calorie-deficit diet (one that can be devised with the help of a nutritionist who understands your health concerns) can help manage PCOS and ease your symptoms as well.
Unfortunately, there is no way to expect the onset of PCOS or to prevent it. What you can do is follow a healthy lifestyle, get enough sleep, exercise daily and ensure that your diet is well-rounded with all essential fruits, vegetables, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals.
