What is the effective treatment for PCOS/PMOS?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am 27 years old and have had a history of PCOS/PMOS since I was 12 years old. The cyst in my ovaries dissolved long ago, but now, after one year, the size has increased to 0.61 cubic inch and 0.79 cubic inch.

Also, I have heavy and thick facial hair, and I bleed a lot during intercourse, but it does not bleed during foreplay.

Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for your query.

I understand your concern. These days, PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome)/PMOS (polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome) is very common, especially in the young population. Irregular periods, scanty menses, acne, excessive weight gain, and hirsutism these things are commonly seen in PCOS/PMOS.

Weight and PCOS/PMOS are correlated to each other, so maintaining your weight within BMI, with regular exercise and diet modification, will help you a lot in curing PCOS/PMOS. Follicular size varies throughout the menstrual cycle. You must have done a USG (ultrasonography) scan around the 14th day of the menstrual cycle, which is why that showed increased size.

  1. Have you checked your thyroid profile?
  2. Right now, which medications are you taking? If you are suffering from hair loss, medications should be modified in this case.

I hope this has helped you.

Thank you.
