What is PCOS/PMOS / PCOD?
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS/PMOS), also called PCOD, is a common hormonal condition that affects how the ovaries work. It is linked to an imbalance in reproductive hormones and, often, to insulin resistance. PCOS/PMOS is one of the most common causes of irregular periods and difficulty conceiving in women of reproductive age. It cannot be 'cured', but for most women it can be managed effectively — symptoms improve, cycles become more regular, and long-term health is protected — with the right, personalised care.
Common symptoms of PCOS/PMOS
PCOS/PMOS affects women differently, and not everyone has every symptom. Common signs include:
- Irregular, infrequent or absent periods.
- Difficulty conceiving.
- Excess hair growth (face or body), or acne.
- Weight gain, or difficulty losing weight.
- Thinning of scalp hair.
- Mood changes and, over time, higher risk of insulin resistance.
How PCOS/PMOS is diagnosed
There is no single test for PCOS/PMOS. Diagnosis is made by looking at the overall picture, usually based on the widely used criteria of any two of the following three features:
- Irregular or absent ovulation — reflected in irregular periods.
- Signs of excess androgens — clinically (acne, excess hair) or on blood tests.
- Polycystic ovaries on ultrasound — many small follicles seen on a scan.
Assessment therefore usually includes a detailed history, a physical examination, blood tests (hormone levels and, where relevant, blood sugar and lipids) and a pelvic ultrasound. Other conditions with similar symptoms are ruled out first.
PCOS/PMOS management — lifestyle + hormonal approach
Because PCOS/PMOS affects each woman differently, care is personalised to her symptoms and goals (for example, regulating periods, managing skin or hair concerns, or planning a pregnancy). Management generally combines:
Dr. Nasreen Ashfaq explains the reasons behind each recommendation, so women understand and stay engaged with a plan that fits their life.
Lifestyle foundation
Nutrition — a balanced, lower-glycaemic eating pattern that supports steady blood sugar. Physical activity — regular exercise, which improves insulin sensitivity. Weight management — where relevant, even a modest reduction can improve cycles and symptoms. Sleep and stress — both influence hormones and are part of the plan.
Medical & hormonal management
Cycle regulation — hormonal medication may be used to regulate periods when appropriate. Insulin sensitisers — sometimes used where insulin resistance is a factor. Symptom-directed care — targeted treatment for concerns such as acne or excess hair. Fertility support — for women trying to conceive, ovulation induction and fertility guidance.
Long-term monitoring
PCOS/PMOS is a long-term condition, so ongoing follow-up matters even once symptoms settle. Long-term care typically includes periodic review of cycles and symptoms, and monitoring for associated health risks such as blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol over time. Regular follow-up helps keep the condition well-managed and protects future fertility and general health.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between PCOS/PMOS and PCOD?
The terms are often used interchangeably. PCOD (polycystic ovarian disease) usually refers to ovaries with many follicles, while PCOS/PMOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) describes the broader hormonal and metabolic syndrome. Care for both is similar and individualised.
Can PCOS/PMOS be cured?
PCOS/PMOS cannot be cured, but it can be managed effectively. With personalised lifestyle and medical care, most women see improvement in symptoms, more regular cycles, and better long-term health.
How is PCOS/PMOS diagnosed?
There is no single test. Diagnosis is based on a combination of irregular ovulation, signs of excess androgens, and polycystic ovaries on ultrasound, alongside blood tests — after ruling out other causes.
Does PCOS/PMOS affect fertility?
PCOS/PMOS is a common cause of difficulty conceiving because it can affect ovulation. Many women with PCOS/PMOS conceive — with cycle regulation, lifestyle support and, where needed, ovulation induction or fertility care.
Will I need medication for PCOS/PMOS?
Not always. Lifestyle changes are the foundation, and medication is added when appropriate — for example, to regulate cycles, address insulin resistance, or support fertility. Your plan is tailored to you.
Is PCOS/PMOS the reason I can't lose weight?
PCOS/PMOS is often linked to insulin resistance, which can make weight harder to manage — so it may be a contributing factor. A personalised plan focusing on nutrition, activity and, where needed, medical support can help, and even modest weight change can improve symptoms.
Will my PCOS/PMOS go away after pregnancy or after menopause?
PCOS/PMOS is a long-term condition and does not simply disappear, though symptoms can change over time — for example, cycles may settle differently around menopause. Ongoing management still matters for long-term health.
Do I have to take hormonal pills for the rest of my life for PCOS/PMOS?
No. Lifestyle measures are the foundation, and medication is used only when appropriate — for specific goals such as regulating cycles or supporting fertility. Treatment is typically reviewed over time and adjusted as needs change.
What tests should I bring or expect at my first PCOS/PMOS visit?
It helps to bring a note of your cycle dates and symptoms, and any previous reports. A PCOS/PMOS assessment usually involves a history and examination, blood tests (such as hormones and, where relevant, blood sugar), and a pelvic ultrasound — the exact tests depend on your situation.
Can PCOS/PMOS affect my health long-term, even if I'm not planning a baby?
Yes. Beyond periods and fertility, PCOS/PMOS is linked to longer-term risks such as insulin resistance, so ongoing review of blood sugar, blood pressure and general health is worthwhile — whether or not you are planning a pregnancy.
