Understanding PCOS: More Than Just Hormones

By Dr. Shruthi Thennati | Kayakalpa Clinic, Vadodara

Are you still blaming your unpredictable periods, stubborn acne, or sudden weight gain on stress or bad luck?
 You might be missing something deeper — something that affects nearly 1 in 10 women of reproductive age: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).

🌸 What Exactly Is PCOS?

PCOS is a hormonal imbalance where the ovaries produce higher-than-normal levels of androgens (male hormones).
 This disrupts regular ovulation, causes small cysts on the ovaries, and throws your entire metabolic system off balance.

It’s not just a “period problem” — it’s a whole-body condition that affects hormones, metabolism, and mood.

Common Symptoms You Shouldn’t Ignore

PCOS doesn’t look the same for everyone, but some of the most common signs include:

  • Irregular or missed periods
  • Acne and oily skin
  • Excess facial or body hair (hirsutism)
  • Hair thinning on the scalp
  • Unexplained weight gain, especially around the belly
  • Mood swings or anxiety
  • Difficulty conceiving

These symptoms can vary in severity — some women experience just a few, others many. But each is your body’s way of saying: “Something’s off.”

Why It Happens

The exact cause of PCOS isn’t fully understood, but key factors include:

  • Insulin resistance — making it harder for your body to use sugar, leading to weight gain and hormonal imbalance.
  • Genetic predisposition — if your mother or sister has PCOS, your risk increases.
  • Lifestyle factors — poor sleep, stress, and unhealthy eating patterns can worsen symptoms.

The Good News: PCOS Can Be Managed

There’s no one-size-fits-all “cure,” but the right medical care and lifestyle changes can help you regain balance.
 At Kayakalpa Clinic, we focus on:
 Personalized nutrition and exercise plans
 Hormonal and metabolic assessments
 Mind-body balance through stress management
 Sustainable lifestyle modifications

Even small, consistent changes — like daily walks, balanced meals, and regular sleep — can make a real difference over time.

You’re not broken — your body is simply asking for the right support.
 With awareness, consistency, and care, PCOS doesn’t have to control your life — you can take charge of your health again.
