PCOS Treatment in Ahmedabad — Expert Care by Dr. Priyadatt Patel
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common hormonal disorders affecting women of reproductive age, impacting 1 in 10 women in India. At Balaji Horizon Women’s Hospital, Dr. Priyadatt Patel offers individualized, evidence-based PCOS treatment in Ahmedabad — focused on long-term hormonal health, fertility preservation, and metabolic wellbeing.
What Is PCOS?
PCOS is a complex endocrine disorder characterized by hormonal imbalance, irregular menstrual cycles, and small cysts on the ovaries. It is not just a gynecological condition — it has metabolic, cardiovascular, and reproductive implications that require long-term management.
Common Symptoms of PCOS
- Irregular or absent periods
- Excess facial or body hair (hirsutism)
- Acne and oily skin
- Weight gain, particularly around the abdomen
- Thinning scalp hair
- Difficulty conceiving
- Mood changes and fatigue
- Darkening of skin folds (acanthosis nigricans)
PCOS and Fertility
PCOS is the leading cause of anovulatory infertility. However, with proper diagnosis and individualized treatment, the majority of women with PCOS can conceive — either naturally or with fertility assistance. Dr. Priyadatt Patel, an experienced IVF specialist in Ahmedabad, develops a fertility plan tailored to your hormonal profile, ovarian reserve, and personal goals.
Our Approach to PCOS Treatment
At Balaji Horizon Women’s Hospital, we reject the one-size-fits-all approach to PCOS. Every patient receives a comprehensive evaluation followed by a structured, individualized management plan.
1. Accurate Diagnosis
Diagnosis follows the Rotterdam Criteria — requiring at least 2 of 3 features: irregular ovulation, clinical/biochemical hyperandrogenism, and polycystic ovarian morphology on ultrasound. We also assess thyroid function, prolactin, insulin resistance, and lipid profiles.
2. Lifestyle Optimization
Evidence consistently shows that even a 5–10% reduction in body weight significantly improves menstrual regularity, ovulation, and insulin sensitivity. We provide structured guidance on nutrition and physical activity as the foundation of PCOS management.
3. Medical Management
Depending on your goals — cycle regulation, fertility, or metabolic health — treatment may include oral contraceptive pills for cycle control, metformin for insulin resistance, ovulation induction medications, and anti-androgen therapy for skin/hair symptoms.
4. Fertility Treatment for PCOS
For women trying to conceive, we offer a stepwise approach: ovulation induction with letrozole or clomiphene, ovulation monitoring with serial ultrasound, laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) where appropriate, and IVF treatment when simpler methods are insufficient.
5. Long-Term Monitoring
PCOS requires lifelong management. We monitor for metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes risk, cardiovascular risk, and endometrial health over the long term.

Frequently Asked Questions About PCOS
Can PCOS be cured?
PCOS cannot be “cured” in the traditional sense, but it can be effectively managed. With the right treatment plan, most women with PCOS can achieve regular cycles, manage symptoms, protect long-term health, and conceive successfully.
Does every woman with PCOS need medication?
Not necessarily. For women with mild PCOS and no fertility concerns, lifestyle changes alone may be sufficient. Medication is introduced based on specific symptoms, severity, and goals.
Can I get pregnant with PCOS?
Yes. PCOS is the most common cause of anovulatory infertility, but it is also one of the most treatable. With ovulation induction or IVF if needed, the majority of women with PCOS achieve pregnancy.
Is PCOS related to thyroid disease?
Thyroid disorders — particularly hypothyroidism — are common in women with PCOS. We routinely screen for thyroid function as part of our PCOS evaluation.
