PCOS Treatment at Minnerva Clinic - Expert PCOS Care

Q: How long does PCOS treatment take to show results?

Treatment response varies by symptom type and individual factors. Metabolic improvements like increased energy may be noticed within 2-4 weeks with insulin sensitizers. Menstrual cycle regulation typically occurs within 2-3 cycles with hormonal treatments. Acne improvement usually takes 3-6 months with anti-androgen therapy, while hirsutism (excessive hair growth) reduction takes 6-12 months due to hair growth cycles. Weight management changes occur gradually over 3-6 months with comprehensive treatment.

Q: Can PCOS be completely cured?

PCOS is a lifelong hormonal condition that cannot be "cured" completely, but it can be very effectively managed. With proper treatment, most women achieve excellent symptom control and live normal, healthy lives. The goal is to control symptoms, restore hormonal balance, prevent long-term complications like diabetes and heart disease, and support fertility when desired. Many women find their PCOS symptoms become minimal with appropriate treatment.

Q: What lifestyle changes are most important for PCOS?

The most impactful lifestyle changes include following a low-glycemic index diet with anti-inflammatory foods, regular exercise combining cardio and strength training, stress management through yoga or meditation, maintaining 7-9 hours of quality sleep nightly, and staying hydrated. Weight management (when appropriate) and limiting processed foods also significantly improve PCOS symptoms and treatment effectiveness.

Q: Will I need to take medications long-term for PCOS?

Medication duration varies based on your symptoms and treatment goals. Some medications like metformin for insulin resistance, may be continued long-term for diabetes prevention. Hormonal treatments for cycle regulation might be used for years, while fertility medications are temporary. Anti-androgen medications may be used long-term for symptom control. We regularly review your treatment plan and adjust medications based on your response and changing needs.

Q: Can I get pregnant naturally with PCOS?

Many women with PCOS can conceive naturally, especially with proper treatment. Success depends on ovulation regularity, insulin resistance severity, overall health, age, and response to PCOS treatments. We recommend trying naturally for 6 months if over 35 or 12 months if under 35 before considering fertility treatments. Optimizing your PCOS management significantly improves natural conception chances.

Q: How do you treat PCOS-related hair growth and acne?

For excessive hair growth (hirsutism), we use anti-androgen medications like spironolactone, hormonal contraceptives with anti-androgenic properties, and professional laser hair removal for long-term results. PCOS acne is treated with topical retinoids, anti-androgen medications, specialized skincare routines, and sometimes chemical peels. Both conditions require patience as improvements take 6-12 months to become fully apparent.

Q: What are the risks if PCOS is left untreated?

Untreated PCOS increases risks of type 2 diabetes (5-10 times higher risk), cardiovascular disease, endometrial cancer due to irregular periods, infertility from ovulation problems, metabolic syndrome, sleep apnea, depression and anxiety, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Early treatment significantly reduces these risks and improves long-term health outcomes.

Q: How often will I need follow-up appointments for PCOS?

Initially, appointments are scheduled every 4-6 weeks to monitor treatment response and make adjustments. Once symptoms stabilize, visits typically occur every 3-6 months for ongoing monitoring. Women trying to conceive may need more frequent visits for cycle tracking. Annual comprehensive evaluations include complete hormone panels and health screenings to prevent complications.

Q: Can PCOS treatment help with weight management?

Yes, PCOS treatment often significantly improves weight management. Insulin sensitizers like metformin help with weight stability and modest weight loss. Hormonal treatments can reduce cravings and improve metabolism. Combined with personalized nutrition counseling and exercise guidance, many women achieve sustainable weight management. However, PCOS-related weight challenges require patience and comprehensive approaches.

Q: What should I expect during my first PCOS consultation?

Your initial consultation lasts 45-60 minutes and includes a detailed discussion of your symptoms, menstrual history, family history, and treatment goals. Dr. Pragya will perform a physical examination, explain PCOS and its effects on your body, discuss all treatment options with benefits and risks, order necessary blood tests or imaging, and develop your personalized treatment plan. You'll leave with clear next steps and educational resources about PCOS management.
