Dr. K. Thendral, Clinical Lead & Senior Consultant in Obstetrics & Gynaecology at Kauvery Hospital, Radial Road, stressed the importance of getting timely treatment for PCOS, saying, “PCOS is a common hormonal condition in women, where the primary focus is on lifestyle changes.

PCOS, which affects 1 in 10 women, is a common and curable condition.

PCOS also increases the risk of long-term health conditions such as diabetes, depression, cardiac issues, and uterine cancer. Through a combination of a healthy diet, exercises and necessary treatments, women can keep their symptoms well under control.
