Message From Founder

Incidence of PCOS in our day to day practice is 1 in 10. Despite this public awareness of PCOS is negligible. Young girls and women are unaware of it. People are unknown to the gravity of this condition. Everybody presents with different manifestations, commonly menstrual disorder, unwanted hair, acne, hairfall, unnecessary weight gain, sunfertility, dark patches over armpit and nape of neck. This can lead to negative body image and depression.

Hence, with a hope to shed light and lead the path to diagnosis, counseling and treatment of these young nepalese women I, Prof.Dr Achala Vaidya have started this society.

Together let’s keep going.

Frequently Asked Questions

PCOS stands for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, which is a hormonal disorder that affects women of reproductive age. It is a common condition characterized by a variety of symptoms, including irregular or absent menstrual periods, excess androgen (male hormone) levels, and the presence of multiple small cysts on the ovaries.

Currently, the exact cause of PCOS is unknown. Some experts lean toward the theory that it might be a genetic, inherited condition since women who have it are more likely to have a sister or mother who also has it. Most feel that women with PCOS have a defect in insulin i.e. insulin resistance, increased levels of hormones called androgens and increased LH/FSH ratio.

Common signs of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) include the following:
    - Irregular menstrual periods—Menstrual disorders can include absent periods, periods that occur infrequently or too frequently, heavy periods, or unpredictable periods.
    - Infertility—PCOS is one of the most common causes of female infertility.
    - Obesity—As many as 4 in 5 women with PCOS are obese.
    - Excess hair growth on the face, chest, abdomen, or upper thighs—This condition, called hirsutism, affects more than 7 in 10 women with PCOS.
    - Severe acne or acne that occurs after adolescence and does not respond to usual treatments
    - Oily skin
    - Patches of thickened, velvety, darkened skin called acanthosis nigricans
    - Multiple small fluid-filled sacs in the ovaries

Three criteria determine if you have PCOS. Irregular menstrual cycles since puberty (when not on hormones), signs of androgen excess (excessive hair growth, acne or an elevated blood testosterone level) and PCOS appearing ovaries by ultrasound. To have the diagnosis of PCOS you on need to meet 2 of the 3 above mentioned criteria.

The long term health risks for patients with PCOS include: Hypertension Diabetes Impaired glucose tolerance Coronary Artery disease Endometrial cancer Hypercholesterolemia with low HDL Gestational diabetes Sleep apnea Depression

It might. Because it is a hormonal imbalance, it can hamper normal ovulation and cause female infertility as well as sub-fertility.

For women who are overweight, weight loss alone may regulate the menstrual cycle. Even a small loss of weight of 10% may be helpful in making menstrual periods more regular. Weight loss also has been found to improve cholesterol and insulin levels and relieve symptoms such as excess hair growth and acne, improved ovulation. This would help in conception.

No, there isn’t. It can be managed with the appropriate treatment prescribed by doctors, but not cured. Weight loss may help improve the symptoms in a lot of women with PCOS.

Combined hormonal birth control pills can be used for long-term treatment in women with PCOS who do not wish to get pregnant. Combined hormonal pills contain both estrogen and progestin. These birth control pills regulate the menstrual cycle. They also can reduce hirsutism and acne. And they can decrease the risk of endometrial cancer.

Insulin-sensitizing drugs used to treat diabetes frequently are used in the treatment of PCOS. These drugs help the body respond to insulin. In women with PCOS, they can help decrease androgen levels and improve ovulation. Restoring ovulation may help make menstrual periods regular and more predictable.
