Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) is a common hormonal disorder affecting women of reproductive age. It can cause irregular menstrual cycles, weight gain, acne, excessive hair growth, and difficulties in conception. If left untreated, PCOD can lead to long-term health complications such as diabetes, hypertension, and fertility issues.
If you are looking for specialized PCOD treatment in Bangalore, Dr. Praveen M P, an experienced general physician and internal medicine consultant, offers personalized care to help restore hormonal balance and improve your overall well-being.
What is PCOD?
PCOD occurs when the ovaries produce excessive androgens (male hormones), leading to the formation of multiple small cysts in the ovaries. This disrupts ovulation, causing irregular menstrual cycles and hormonal imbalances.
Common Symptoms of PCOD
Women with PCOD may experience:
✔ Irregular or absent periods
✔ Weight gain, especially around the abdomen
✔ Acne and oily skin
✔ Excessive facial and body hair (hirsutism)
✔ Hair thinning or hair loss
✔ Difficulty in conceiving
✔ Mood swings and fatigue
Causes of PCOD
While the exact cause of PCOD is not fully understood, contributing factors include:
✔ Genetic Predisposition – Family history of PCOD or hormonal disorders
✔ Insulin Resistance – High insulin levels lead to excess androgen production
✔ Lifestyle Factors – Poor diet, lack of exercise, and stress can worsen symptoms
✔ Hormonal Imbalances – Disruptions in estrogen, progesterone, and androgen levels
Diagnosis and Treatment
Dr. Praveen M P follows a comprehensive approach to PCOD diagnosis, including:
✔ Medical history assessment
✔ Physical examination
✔ Blood tests to check hormone levels
✔ Ultrasound to examine ovarian cysts

1. Lifestyle Modifications
Healthy, balanced diet to manage weight and blood sugar levels
Regular exercise to improve insulin sensitivity

2. Medications for Symptom Management
Oral contraceptive pills to regulate menstrual cycles
