PCOS is often understood simply as irregular periods. But the condition can involve much more — hormonal changes, ovulation, fertility, weight, insulin resistance and metabolic health.
In this conversation on Gobinath, Prof. Dr. Sampath Kumari brings 33+ years of experience in Obstetrics & Gynaecology to explain PCOS, its symptoms, diagnosis, misconceptions and long-term health impact.
We discuss menstrual irregularities, hyperandrogenism, anovulation, fertility, facial hair, insulin resistance, diabetes, weight management, stress, PCOS in teenage girls and why a scan alone cannot diagnose PCOS.
The conversation also addresses a major concern many women have — whether PCOS means infertility — and why proper medical evaluation is more important than self-diagnosis or assumptions.
