Why do I have no ovulation despite regular periods in PCOS/PMOS?

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

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am nearly 21 years old. I was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome/polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome last year and am currently not taking any medication, and the doctor really did not give me any advice and only told me the negatives of the condition.

I have been doing ovulation tests, and they have all been negative.I have a regular period every month. I was just wondering what I could take to help induce ovulation.

Please help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I am deeply concerned about your worries.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

PCOD is polycystic ovarian disease, now known as polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS), which causes an increase in testosterone levels in women with androgenic features and multiple small cysts in the ovaries.

It is one of those conditions that affects multiple aspects of a woman's health and therefore deserves to be understood well before starting any treatment. It is one of the most common reasons for irregular menses, especially oligomenorrhea or even anovulatory cycles, where menses are regular but non-ovulatory.

This explains why many women with PCOD/PMOS struggle with fertility and hormonal imbalance despite having what appears to be a relatively normal cycle. You have to be placed on low-dose OC pills with myoinositol supplementation, with a reduction in weight with exercise and diet, and an increase in your daily water intake.

Each of these steps works in a complementary manner, and together they address the hormonal, metabolic, and lifestyle aspects of PCOD/PMOS simultaneously. All these, for three to six months, have been advocated for the treatment of PCOD/PMOS.

Consistency and patience during this period are key, as results with lifestyle and medical management take time to reflect meaningfully.

Please discuss in detail with your physician and then make an informed decision. Your physician will be best placed to tailor this plan to your individual needs and monitor your progress through this journey.

I hope this helps you.

Do follow up whenever needed.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thank you.
