PCOS

PCOS is a hormone pattern that can cause irregular periods, acne or extra hair, and difficulty conceiving. It is diagnosed from periods, examination or ultrasound, and sometimes blood tests. It is not diagnosed from a single symptom.

General information for patients at Sachi Hospital, Maninagar, Ahmedabad. It is not a diagnosis or a promise of a particular result. Reviewed by the Sachi Hospital medical team · September 2026.

Why people come in

  • Irregular or absent periods
  • Acne or unwanted hair growth
  • Difficulty getting pregnant

Possible causes

PCOS involves how the ovaries and hormones work. Weight and family history can influence it. The exact mix differs between people.

How this is assessed

Other causes of irregular periods are considered first. An ultrasound may show the typical ovarian appearance but is not used alone.

Treatment options

  • Cycle regulation
  • Advice aimed at the symptoms that bother you
  • Fertility evaluation if pregnancy is the goal

Diagnosis and treatment depend on an individual consultation. A page cannot decide that you need a procedure.
