PCOS Treatment in Bathinda – Restore Balance & Improve Fertility
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder affecting millions of women, especially those in their reproductive years. It can lead to irregular periods, acne, excessive hair growth, weight gain, and infertility. At Gem Hospital & IVF Centre, Bathinda, we offer comprehensive, personalized treatments to manage PCOS symptoms and improve fertility outcomes.
What is PCOS?
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a complex hormonal disorder that affects many women of reproductive age. It is primarily caused by a hormonal imbalance, where the ovaries produce excessive amounts of androgens (male hormones), disrupting the normal ovulation process. This hormonal imbalance interferes with the release of eggs during the menstrual cycle, leading to irregular or missed periods and difficulty in conceiving.
In many cases, PCOS also results in the formation of multiple small, fluid-filled cysts on the ovaries—hence the name “polycystic.” These cysts further disrupt ovulation and may contribute to symptoms such as acne, excessive facial or body hair growth, thinning scalp hair, and unexplained weight gain.
If left untreated, PCOS can significantly impact a woman’s long-term health. It can increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and endometrial cancer. Early diagnosis, lifestyle changes, and personalized medical treatment are essential to manage PCOS symptoms, improve fertility, and reduce the risk of serious health complications.

Advanced PCOS Treatment at Gem Hospital & IVF Centre
Our multi-disciplinary approach combines lifestyle changes, medications, and advanced fertility treatments to manage PCOS effectively.
Lifestyle Management
We focus on holistic care, including diet, exercise, and stress management:
-
A PCOS-friendly diet rich in fiber and low in refined carbs helps regulate insulin and hormone levels.
-
Regular exercise improves insulin sensitivity and supports weight management.
-
Stress-reducing practices like yoga and meditation promote hormonal balance.
Medical Management
Depending on your symptoms and fertility goals, we may recommend:
-
Oral contraceptives to regulate periods and reduce acne or excess hair growth
-
Metformin for insulin resistance and improved ovulation
-
Anti-androgens to reduce male hormone effects like hirsutism
-
Ovulation induction drugs (Clomiphene, Letrozole, or gonadotropins) to stimulate ovulation

IVF (In Vitro Fertilization): Recommended for those not responding to medications or IUI
Surgical Options
