PCOS Management

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal condition that affects many aspects of a woman’s health, including menstrual cycles, fertility, skin, hair, and metabolism. Dr. Namrata Parida takes a comprehensive and empathetic approach to PCOS management—addressing both the symptoms and the underlying causes.

Treatment begins with a detailed evaluation of symptoms such as irregular periods, acne, hair growth, and weight gain. Blood tests are done to assess hormone levels, insulin resistance, and thyroid function. Ultrasound is used to assess ovarian morphology and endometrial health.

Dr. Parida emphasizes lifestyle modification as the first line of treatment—guiding patients on sustainable weight management through diet, exercise, and mental wellness practices. For those planning pregnancy, she offers ovulation induction and cycle regulation through medications tailored to the patient’s response.

For non-fertility-focused management, hormonal treatments such as oral contraceptives or insulin-sensitizing agents are used to regularize cycles and improve skin and hair symptoms. Acne, facial hair, and mood changes are addressed holistically, including referrals to dermatologists or psychologists if needed.

PCOS is a long-term condition, but with the right guidance and regular monitoring, its impact can be significantly minimized. Dr. Parida’s patient-centric approach gives women the knowledge and confidence to manage their condition effectively and lead healthy, fulfilling lives.
