Symptoms of PCOD
PCOD symptoms may vary from mild to severe. The most common signs include:
- Irregular or missed periods
- Weight gain, especially around the abdomen
- Acne and oily skin
- Excessive hair growth (Hirsutism) on the face, chest, or back
- Hair thinning or male-pattern baldness
- Difficulty in conceiving (Infertility)
- Dark patches on the skin (Acanthosis Nigricans)
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, consult Dr. Varsha Mahajan for expert guidance.
Causes of PCOD
The exact cause of PCOD is unknown, but it is believed to be linked to
Hormonal Imbalance
• Excess androgen (male hormones) disrupts ovulation and leads to cyst formation.
• Insulin resistance increases the risk of diabetes and weight gain.
Genetic Factors
If your mother or sister has PCOD, you are at a higher risk.
Lifestyle & Diet
Unhealthy eating habits and lack of physical activity contribute to weight gain and insulin resistance, worsening PCOD symptoms.
How is PCOD Diagnosed?
Dr. Varsha Mahajan performs a comprehensive evaluation to diagnose PCOD:
Medical History & Physical Examination
- Discussing menstrual cycles, symptoms, and family history.
- Checking for signs of hormonal imbalance, acne, and hair growth patterns.
Blood Tests
- Hormonal tests (Testosterone, LH, FSH, Prolactin)
- Insulin resistance & blood sugar levels
- Thyroid function tests
Pelvic Ultrasound
- Detects multiple small cysts in the ovaries and measures their size.
PCOD Treatment Options
The treatment for PCOD depends on individual symptoms, medical history, and future pregnancy plans.
Breast Self-Examination (BSE) is a simple technique that helps women identify unusual lumps, changes, or discomfort in their breasts.
Lifestyle Modifications (First-Line Treatment)
- Healthy Diet: Low-carb, high-fiber, and protein-rich meals.
- Regular Exercise: 30-45 minutes of cardio & strength training.
- Weight Management: Losing even 5-10% of weight improves symptoms.

Medications for PCOD Management
Hormonal Therapy
- Birth control pills regulate periods and reduce acne.
