Comprehensive Hormonal & Metabolic Care
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and Polycystic Ovary Disease (PCOD) are hormonal disorders common among women of reproductive age. These conditions are characterized by irregular menstrual cycles, excess androgen (male hormone) levels, and the presence of small cysts on the ovaries. At our clinic, we recognize that PCOD/PCOS is not just a gynecological issue but a metabolic one that requires a holistic management strategy.

PCOS can cause irregular ovulation, making it harder to conceive. However, with ovulation induction treatments and metabolic correction, many women with PCOS have successful and healthy pregnancies.
Diet is a fundamental pillar of treatment, but it often needs to be combined with medical therapy to address hormonal surges or severe insulin resistance. Dr. Smitha evaluates your blood work to see if you require this combined approach.
