    Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

    PCOS: Understanding Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

    Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal condition that affects women during their reproductive years. Many patients often ask, “is PCOD and PCOS same?” In medical practice, PCOS and PCOD are considered similar, and the treatment approach is also the same.

    What is PCOS and PCOD?

    • Full form of PCOS: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

    • Full form of PCOD: Polycystic Ovarian Disease

    When discussing PCOS and PCOD meaning, both describe a condition where hormonal imbalance leads to irregular periods, multiple ovarian cysts, and fertility challenges.

    PCOS and PCOD Symptoms

    Wondering “how to know if you have PCOS or PCOD?” Look out for these signs:

    • Irregular or missed menstrual cycles

    • Excessive hair growth on face or body

    • Weight gain or difficulty losing weight

    • Acne and oily skin

    • Thinning scalp hair

    • Difficulty conceiving

    These are the most common symptoms of PCOS and PCOD, and they may vary in severity.

    Causes of PCOS and PCOD

    The causes of PCOS and PCOD are often linked to:

    • Hormonal imbalance (high androgens, insulin resistance)

    • Family history

    • Stress and poor sleep

    • Sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy diet

    Difference Between PCOS and PCOD

    Patients often ask about the difference between PCOS and PCOD or the pcod vs pcos difference. In reality, there is no major difference in diagnosis or management. While terms may differ, the symptoms of PCOS and PCOD and the treatment plan are the same.

    So, “are PCOS and PCOD same?” – Yes, in practical terms, they are managed in the same way.

    They Truly Focus On Complete Wellness!

    They truly focus on complete wellness!

    When I brought my mother to Moolchand, she was in acute abdominal pain. She had been feeling extremely weak and was not able to digest food for over 3-4 days. Dr. Shiv Chopra did the necessary investigation and diagnosed her with deep seated infection to the epigastric region. I must say that Dr. Shiv Chopra is the best at what he does; his thorough examination to help address my mother’s needs shows his diligence and dedication to heal patients. My mother’s condition has vastly improved and she is totally pain free.

    Moolchand certainly has awesome doctors like Dr. Shiv Chopra who ensure that patients’ treatment and recovery goes as smooth as possible. Highly recommended! Five stars to Dr. Shiv Chopra and Moolchand!
