Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) Treatment | Dr. Shilpa Dhameja - Gynecologist in Vasant Kunj, New Delhi

Understanding Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and Dr. Shilpa Dhameja's Expertise

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder affecting women of reproductive age. It is characterized by a combination of symptoms including irregular periods, excess androgen levels (leading to symptoms like acne and hirsutism), and polycystic ovaries (ovaries that may be enlarged and contain many small follicles). PCOS can have a significant impact on a woman's health, affecting fertility, metabolic health, and quality of life.

Dr. Shilpa Dhameja, a highly-esteemed Obstetrician-Gynecologist and one of the best gynecologists in Vasant Kunj, New Delhi, specializes in the comprehensive diagnosis and management of PCOS. Her approach is patient-centric, focusing on understanding each individual's symptoms and health goals to create an effective, personalized treatment plan.

Common Symptoms and Diagnosis of PCOS

The symptoms of PCOS can vary widely among individuals. Dr. Shilpa Dhameja expertly diagnoses PCOS based on a combination of clinical symptoms, hormonal tests, and ultrasound findings. Common symptoms include:

• Irregular Periods: Oligomenorrhea (infrequent periods) or amenorrhea (absent periods).
• Excess Androgen (Male Hormone) Symptoms:
  • Hirsutism (excess body and facial hair)
  • Acne (severe or persistent acne)
  • Androgenic Alopecia (male-pattern baldness or thinning hair)
• Polycystic Ovaries: Ovaries that appear enlarged and contain numerous small follicles on ultrasound.
• Weight Gain and Difficulty Losing Weight: Often associated with insulin resistance.
• Infertility: Due to irregular or absent ovulation.
• Darkening of Skin (Acanthosis Nigricans): Patches of darkened, velvety skin, often on the neck, groin, or under breasts.
• Mood Changes: Including anxiety and depression.

Accurate diagnosis by a gynecologist like Dr. Shilpa Dhameja is crucial for initiating appropriate management and preventing long-term complications.
