Based on the expertise of Dr. Rimmy Singla, a renowned infertility specialist and Director of Radiance Multispeciality Hospital and Singla Mediclinic, PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) is a chronic hormonal disorder often managed through a combination of lifestyle changes, medication, and, if needed, surgical intervention.
Causes of PCOSAccording to insights shared by Dr. Rimmy Singla:
Insulin Resistance: The underlying issue is frequently resistance to insulin, which causes the body to produce higher levels of insulin, subsequently leading the ovaries to release excess male hormones (androgens).
Lifestyle Factors: Poor diet and lack of exercise are significant contributing factors that can worsen the condition.
Genetic Factors: PCOS often runs in families.Vicious Cycle: Insulin resistance leads to weight gain, and weight gain, in turn, worsens insulin resistance and PCOS symptoms
