Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) affects nearly 1 in 5 women in India. It is one of the most common hormonal conditions that can cause irregular periods, weight gain, and difficulty in conceiving. Many women suffer silently because they are either unaware of the symptoms or think it is “normal.” At Veer Hospital, Panvel, our gynecologists specialize in managing PCOS with the right balance of medical care and lifestyle changes.
