Quick answers

PCOS, in brief

What is it

A common hormonal condition where the ovaries don’t release eggs regularly, affecting periods, weight, skin and hair.

Signs

Irregular or missed periods, weight gain, unwanted hair, acne, hair thinning, or difficulty conceiving.

How it’s treated

A plan around your symptoms — lifestyle, diet, medication, and fertility support when you want to conceive.

Can I still conceive

Yes — many women with PCOS conceive, often with simple ovulation support, without rushing to IVF.

01 / Understanding it

What PCOS actually is

PCOS — polycystic ovary syndrome, often called PCOD — is a hormonal condition, not a disease to be scared of. In PCOS the ovaries don’t release an egg as regularly as they should, and the balance of hormones shifts. That is what drives the familiar cluster of symptoms.

Those symptoms vary from woman to woman: irregular or missed periods, weight gain that is hard to shift, unwanted facial or body hair, acne, hair thinning, and sometimes difficulty conceiving. Some women have many; some have only one or two.

The good news is that PCOS is very manageable. Dr. Agarwal starts by understanding your particular pattern and goals — regular periods, clearer skin, weight, or a pregnancy — and builds a plan from there, usually starting with lifestyle and diet alongside targeted medical treatment. Managing PCOS also protects long-term health, lowering later risks like diabetes.

06 / Transparent cost

What does PCOS treatment cost?

From a consultation upward mostly out-patient

PCOS care is mainly out-patient — a consultation, some blood tests and an ultrasound, then medication and follow-up — so it is affordable, and ongoing costs are modest. Fertility support, if you choose it later, is priced separately and clearly. The team explains everything before anything is done.

  • • Consultation and assessment
  • • Blood tests and ultrasound
  • • Medication and follow-up visits
  • • Fertility support, if and when you want it
  • • Health insurance for any procedures
07 / Your questions, answered

PCOS questions, answered

What is the difference between PCOS and PCOD?
They are used interchangeably in everyday use. Both describe a hormonal condition where the ovaries don’t release eggs regularly, causing irregular periods and related symptoms. The treatment approach is the same.
Can PCOS be cured?
PCOS is managed rather than “cured”, but it is managed very effectively. With the right lifestyle changes and treatment, periods regulate, symptoms improve, and long-term risks are reduced — and many women go on to conceive.
Can I get pregnant with PCOS?
Yes. PCOS is one of the most common and treatable causes of difficulty conceiving. Many women conceive with simple ovulation support, without needing IVF. Dr. Agarwal has helped 300+ women conceive without IVF.
Will I need medication for life?
Not necessarily. Treatment is tailored to your goals and reviewed regularly. Some women need medication only at certain times; lifestyle changes do a lot of the work long-term.
Does PCOS cause weight gain?
PCOS can make weight harder to lose, and weight in turn worsens PCOS — so diet and activity are a core part of treatment, with real, practical guidance rather than crash diets.
Is PCOS treatment covered by insurance?
Out-patient PCOS care is usually paid directly and is inexpensive. Any procedures are covered by most health-insurance policies, with cashless facility at Medifirst.
