PCOD/PCOS Treatment
PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease) or PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) is a common hormonal disorder that affects women of reproductive age. It results in irregular menstrual cycles, excess androgen production (leading to symptoms like acne and excessive hair growth), and cysts in the ovaries. The exact cause of PCOD/PCOS is not entirely understood, but factors like genetics, lifestyle, and insulin resistance can contribute to its development.
Dr. Praveen M P specializes in the holistic management and treatment of PCOD/PCOS, offering personalized care to address both the symptoms and the root causes. The treatment approach involves:
Medical Management: Dr. Praveen prescribes medications to regulate menstrual cycles, manage hormone imbalances, and address symptoms like acne, hair growth, and scalp issues. Birth control pills, anti-androgens, and insulin-sensitizing drugs are commonly prescribed.
Lifestyle Modifications: Diet and exercise play a crucial role in managing PCOD/PCOS. Dr. Praveen recommends a balanced diet focusing on low-glycemic foods, weight management, and regular physical activity to help regulate insulin levels and improve overall hormonal health.
Monitoring and Follow-ups: Continuous monitoring of hormone levels and ultrasound scans are necessary to track ovarian health and ensure that the treatment is effective. Regular follow-ups are essential to make adjustments to the treatment plan based on individual progress.
Stress Management: Stress exacerbates PCOD/PCOS symptoms. Dr. Praveen emphasizes the importance of stress management through meditation, yoga, and other relaxation techniques.
With a comprehensive, personalized approach, Dr. Praveen M P aims to improve the quality of life for women affected by PCOD/PCOS, promoting better hormonal balance and overall health.
