PCOS / PCOD — Supportive Care Alongside Your Medical Team
PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) and PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease) are among the most common hormonal concerns affecting women today, often bringing irregular periods, weight changes, and emotional stress alongside the physical symptoms. At Sayantika Wellness Centre, we offer supportive, drug-free care alongside proper medical management -- never as a replacement for it.

Understanding PCOS / PCOD
Menstrual irregularity
Irregular, infrequent, or absent periods are usually the first sign that brings a patient to consultation.
Metabolic symptoms
Weight gain, particularly around the abdomen, and difficulty losing weight despite lifestyle changes -- closely tied to the insulin resistance common in PCOS.
Skin and hair symptoms
Acne, and excess hair growth (hirsutism) or hair thinning -- driven by the elevated androgen levels typical of PCOS.
Fertility-related concerns
Difficulty conceiving, often the symptom that leads to a formal PCOS diagnosis in the first place.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs I should watch for? +
Irregular or absent periods, unexplained weight gain, acne, excess facial or body hair, hair thinning, and difficulty conceiving.
Can acupuncture cure PCOS? +
No. PCOS is a hormonal and metabolic condition that requires ongoing medical management. Acupuncture and supportive therapies may help with symptom management and general well-being, but this is not a cure and should never be presented as one.
Is this a replacement for an endocrinologist or gynaecologist? +
No. PCOS/PCOD diagnosis and long-term management, including any medication decisions, should stay with the treating gynaecologist or endocrinologist. This care is offered alongside that management.
Outlook
