Common Signs of PCOS

Women with PCOS may experience:

• Irregular or absent periods

• Excessive facial hair (hirsutism)

• Acne and oily skin

• Weight gain or obesity

• Difficulty conceiving (infertility)

A pelvic sonography typically shows a distinctive “polycystic” appearance of the ovaries—numerous small follicles arranged around the edge.

Why Does PCOS Happen?

Women with PCOS often have higher levels of androgens (male hormones) and elevated Luteinizing Hormone (LH), which disrupt the normal ovulation process and lead to hormonal imbalance and infertility.

Fertility Treatment for PCOS at iSHA 

Most women with PCOS respond well to ovulation-inducing medications, which help eggs mature and release from the ovaries:

• Letrozole – First-line oral medication to stimulate ovulation

• Metformin – Improves insulin sensitivity and regulates cycles

• Hormonal injections – Including Human Menopausal Gonadotropins, FSH, and Recombinant FSH

🌸 Monitoring is Key

During fertility treatment, serial follicular monitoring with ultrasound is done to track egg development and time ovulation precisely for either natural conception or IUI/IVF.

🌿 Lifestyle Matters

Weight loss, even as little as 5-10%, significantly improves menstrual regularity and pregnancy rates in PCOS patients.

Laparoscopic Ovarian Drilling (LOD)

For women who do not respond to medications, Laparoscopic Ovarian Drilling is a proven surgical option. At ISHA Care:

• Dr. Kaushal performs the procedure using minimally invasive laparoscopy

• 4–6 small punctures are made in each ovary using a safe energy source

• The ovaries are then cooled with sterile Ringer’s solution

• During the same procedure, fallopian tubes are checked for patency and any other pelvic pathology is treated if needed

Benefits of Laparoscopic Ovarian Drilling

• 30–40% of women conceive naturally post-surgery

• Improved response to ovulation drugs

• Lower doses of hormonal injections needed

• Reduced risk of Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS) and miscarriage

• Restores a more balanced hormonal environment for conception
