At Dr Mannan IVF Centre in New Delhi, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) are among the most frequent conditions we treat.
With over 10 years of experience in this field, I often see patients who feel overwhelmed by conflicting information online or frustrated by symptoms that seem to affect every part of their lives—from their periods to their skin, weight, and fertility.
I want you to know that PCOD/PCOS is a manageable condition. It is not just about fertility; it is about your overall metabolic and hormonal health.
My goal is to help you understand what is happening inside your body and work with you to create a personalised plan that restores balance and quality of life.
Key Takeaways
- It’s Very Common: PCOD/PCOS affects 1 in 5 women in India. You are not alone.
- It’s Treatable: While it cannot be “cured” in the traditional sense, symptoms can be effectively managed with the right approach.
- Fertility is Possible: Most women with PCOS can conceive naturally or with minimal assistance.
- Holistic Care Matters: Our approach combines medical treatment with lifestyle changes for long-term health.
Understanding PCOD and PCOS
Although often used interchangeably, there are slight differences, though clinically we treat them with similar urgency and care.
- PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease): This is largely a condition where the ovaries release many immature eggs, which eventually turn into cysts. It is often linked to lifestyle factors.
- PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome): This is a more severe metabolic disorder. It involves higher levels of male hormones (androgens), leading to irregular periods, cysts, and metabolic issues like insulin resistance.
Think of your ovaries as a factory line. In a regular cycle, the factory produces one perfect product (an egg) each month.
In PCOD/PCOS, the signals get crossed; the factory starts production on many products but finishes none of them, leaving “half-finished” eggs (cysts) behind.
Why is PCOD/PCOS Rising in Delhi?
We are seeing a surge in cases across Delhi NCR. The reasons are often tied to our modern urban lifestyle:
- Sedentary Habits: Lack of physical activity affects insulin sensitivity.
- Dietary Shifts: High intake of processed foods and refined sugars spikes insulin levels, worsening hormonal imbalances.
- Stress: High cortisol levels from stress can disrupt the delicate hormonal signals needed for ovulation.

Recognising the Symptoms
Symptoms vary widely from woman to woman. You might experience some, but not all, of the following:
- Irregular Periods: Cycles that are longer than 35 days, or fewer than 8 periods a year.
- Excess Hair Growth (Hirsutism): Unwanted hair on the face, chin, or chest due to elevated male hormones.
- Acne and Oily Skin: Persistent breakouts that don’t respond well to regular skincare.
- Weight Gain: Difficulty losing weight, especially around the abdomen.
- Thinning Hair: Hair loss or thinning on the scalp (male-pattern baldness).
- Fertility Struggles: Difficulty getting pregnant due to irregular or absent ovulation.
How We Diagnose PCOD/PCOS?
Diagnosis is not a guessing game. We follow the Rotterdam Criteria, which requires at least two of the following three features for a confirmed diagnosis:
- Irregular Ovulation: Infrequent or absent periods.
- High Androgen Levels: Confirmed via blood tests (showing high testosterone) or physical signs like excess hair growth or acne.
- Polycystic Ovaries: Visible on an ultrasound, where ovaries appear enlarged with multiple small follicles.
At our clinic, we also check for Insulin Resistance and thyroid function, as these often accompany PCOS and must be treated simultaneously for the best results.
Personalised Treatment Options
There is no “magic pill” for PCOS. The best treatment is one tailored to your specific goals—whether that is regulating your cycle, managing symptoms, or getting pregnant.
Lifestyle Management: The First Line of Defence
Before medication, we focus on the foundation. Even a 5-10% weight loss can restore regular ovulation and improve response to fertility medications. We guide you on:
- Nutrition: Low-glycemic index (GI) diets that keep insulin stable.
- Exercise: A mix of cardio and strength training to improve metabolism.
- Sleep & Stress: Ensuring adequate rest to balance cortisol levels.
Medical Management
- Hormonal Birth Control: For women not trying to conceive, this can regulate periods and reduce male hormone levels to clear skin and reduce hair growth.
- Anti-Androgens: Medications to block the effect of male hormones, helping with hirsutism and acne.
- Insulin Sensitisers: Drugs like Metformin help the body use insulin more effectively, which can spontaneously restart ovulation.
Fertility Treatments for PCOS
If you are trying to conceive, PCOS is one of the most treatable causes of infertility.
- Ovulation Induction: We use simple oral medications (like Letrozole or Clomiphene) to signal the ovary to release an egg. We monitor this closely with ultrasound (Follicular Monitoring).
- IUI (Intrauterine Insemination): If medication alone doesn’t work, we may combine it with IUI to place sperm directly in the uterus at the time of ovulation.
- IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation): For women with severe PCOS or other complicating factors, IVF is highly effective. We use specialised protocols to prevent Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS), ensuring your safety.
Cost of PCOD/PCOS Treatment in Delhi
Managing PCOS is an ongoing process, and costs depend on your immediate goals.
Treatment | Approximate Cost in Delhi |
PCOD/PCOS Management Consultation & Plan | ₹2,000 – ₹5,000 |
Ovulation Induction (Per Cycle) | ₹5,000 – ₹15,000 |
IVF for PCOS (Per Cycle) | ₹1,20,000 – ₹1,80,000 |
Understanding the Variation:
Routine management involves consultations and medication, which is very affordable.
If fertility treatments like IUI or IVF are needed, the costs increase due to the specialised procedures and lab work involved.
We always discuss costs upfront so you can plan your care without financial stress.

- Holistic Approach:
I don’t just treat the ovaries; I treat the whole woman. We look at metabolic health, mental well-being, and long-term risks like diabetes. - Safety First:

We understand that every woman’s timeline is different. Whether you want to conceive now or preserve fertility for later, we have a plan for you. - Judgement-Free Zone:
We know weight issues are a symptom of the condition, not a failure of willpower. You will find support here, not shaming.
Emotional and Long-Term Support
PCOS can be mentally draining. The mood swings, body image issues from weight gain or hair growth, and anxiety about fertility are real.
We validate these feelings and offer counselling support.
Preventive Care:
PCOS is a lifelong companion. Managing it well in your 20s and 30s protects you from Type 2 Diabetes, high blood pressure, and endometrial issues in your 40s and 50s. Regular check-ups are vital.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Can I get pregnant naturally if I have PCOS?
Yes, absolutely. Many women with PCOS conceive naturally. If you have irregular periods, simple lifestyle changes or basic ovulation medication is often all that is needed to help you conceive.
2. Is PCOS curable?
PCOS cannot be cured permanently, but it can be managed so effectively that you have no symptoms. However, if you stop the healthy lifestyle or medication, symptoms often return.
3. Does having cysts mean I need surgery?
No. The “cysts” in PCOS are actually small, immature egg follicles, not the large cysts that require surgery. Surgery (like ovarian drilling) is very rarely needed and is a last resort.
4. Will I develop diabetes if I have PCOS?
Women with PCOS have a higher risk of insulin resistance, which can lead to Type 2 Diabetes. However, with a healthy diet and active lifestyle, this risk can be significantly reduced.
5. Why do I gain weight so easily with PCOS?
Insulin resistance makes your body store fat more easily and makes it harder to burn it off. It is a metabolic issue, not just about “eating too much.” We help address the metabolic root cause.
