Hello,

Your doctor has rightly suggested you the line of treatment. But I would like you to understand the basics of Polycystic Ovaries Syndrome (PCOS).

As you might be aware that PCOS is a lifestyle disorder and can be managed by healthy lifestyle changes. In such case, ovaries show increased size and volume, also show tiny fluid filled cysts (follicles) located peripherally. All these changes lead to absence of ovulation and hormonal imbalance.

There is weight gain, usually on the tummy; also there is unwanted hair growth in face and other body parts and oily skin and acne. Most of the patients do have irregular menstrual period. This can have impact on fertility as well as on metabolic processes.

So, along with medical line of treatment; which includes ovulation induction medicines and Metformin like insulin resistance lowering agents, you need lifestyle changes also.

Please opt for a healthy diet and regular exercise regimen. Include more portions of fruits and vegetables and salads in daily diet. Drink plenty of water in the day. Avoid refined sugars and deep fried foods and bakery products in the diet.

Please take Iron, Calcium, protein and vitamin B 12 and Folic acid supplementation on regular basis. Taking Sharvari, is fine. But do take its powder and not the mixture with sugar. It is a general health improving agent.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Purushottam Neurgaonkar
