About PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome)
In PCOS the ovaries may not release an egg regularly, and the body makes more male hormones (androgens) than usual. Many women also have insulin resistance, which makes it easier to gain weight and harder to lose it. The small follicles seen on an ultrasound are not true cysts, and some women with PCOS do not have them.
PCOS is a lifelong tendency but its symptoms can be improved. Lifestyle changes, supported by medical treatment when needed, can restore more regular cycles and reduce the long-term risks.
Common symptoms of PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome)
Symptoms vary from person to person. Common ones include:
- Irregular, infrequent or absent periods
- Acne and oily skin
- Excess dark hair on the face, chest or abdomen
- Thinning hair on the scalp
- Weight gain, especially around the abdomen
- Dark, velvety patches of skin on the neck or armpits
- Difficulty in conceiving
- Mood changes, tiredness and poor sleep
Causes and risk factors of PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome)
There is rarely a single cause. Factors that may contribute include:
- Insulin resistance
- Raised levels of male hormones
- A family history of PCOS or diabetes
- Excess weight, which worsens insulin resistance
- A sedentary lifestyle and a diet rich in refined carbohydrates
- Low-grade inflammation in the body
- Stress and poor sleep, which may aggravate symptoms
- Hormonal changes around puberty
Warning signs and when to get urgent help
Please go to the nearest hospital emergency department immediately if there is:
- Sudden, severe pelvic or abdominal pain, especially with fainting or vomiting
- Very heavy vaginal bleeding that soaks through pads quickly
- Signs of high blood sugar such as extreme thirst, passing urine very often or unexplained weight loss
- Thoughts of harming yourself, which can accompany low mood
- No periods for more than three months, or trying to conceive for a year without success (this needs medical assessment, not an emergency)

Frequently asked questions about PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome)
1. What is the best homeopathic medicine for PCOS?
There is no single best medicine. Pulsatilla, Sepia, Calcarea carbonica and Natrum muriaticum are among those traditionally considered, but the right one depends on your symptoms, cycle and general health. Please consult our specialists rather than self-prescribing.
2. Can PCOS be cured?
PCOS is a long-term tendency, so we do not claim a cure. Its symptoms can be improved with lifestyle changes and, when needed, medical treatment, and homeopathy is offered as supportive care.
3. Can I get pregnant with PCOS?
Yes, many women with PCOS conceive, sometimes with some help. Regular cycles, healthy weight and treatment of insulin resistance improve the chances, and a fertility specialist can advise if it takes longer.
4. What should I eat with PCOS?
Whole grains, pulses, vegetables, fruit, nuts and adequate protein are helpful, while sugary drinks, sweets, refined flour and fried food are best limited.
5. What is the difference between PCOS and PCOD?
The terms are often used interchangeably in India. PCOS refers to the syndrome with hormonal and metabolic features, and PCOD to the finding of polycystic ovaries. A doctor can explain which applies to you.
6. Does PCOS cause hair fall and acne?
Yes, because of raised male hormones, which can cause acne and hair growth on the face and body, and thinning of scalp hair.
