Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a multi factorial endocrine disorder that has an impact on the lives of women across the globe. Its symptoms are very diverse, affecting not only the reproductive system but also the skin, hair, mental state, metabolism.

At DYU Healthcare, PCOS is treated holistically, meaning that patients are provided with care from gynecologists, dermatologists, psychiatrists, dietitians, nutritionists, and endocrinologists.

The PCOS specialists work in a team and each of them is focused on certain aspects of the disease allowing for individualized and comprehensive approach to the patients. Here’s how DYU Healthcare’s expert team supports women in their journey to manage and overcome PCOS

1. Gynecologist: The Goal is to Concentrate on Reproductive Health

PCOS is mainly a hormonal disorder that affects the menstrual cycle and may cause infertility. The team of gynecologists in DYU Healthcare has a critical role of handling the reproductive issues occasioned by PCOS.

Infertility:

Women with PCOS have a problem of delayed conception because they either do not ovulate or ovulate irregularly. DYU Healthcare provides the latest techniques and methods to enhance fertility treatment. Ovulation-inducing medications are often the first line of treatment, and the clinic also provides advanced fertility options such as:

• IUI (Intrauterine Insemination): This process involves the depositing of sperm into the uterus during ovulation and hence the likelihood of conception is enhanced.
• IVF (In Vitro Fertilization): In case of severe fertility problems associated with PCOS, IVF may be suggested for the woman. This technique involves removing the egg from a woman’s body, fertilizing it and then implanting it back to the uterus as a solution to infertility.

Menstrual Irregularities:

Gynecologists at DYU Healthcare also pay attention to the control of the menstrual cycle with the help of medications such as birth control pills, hormonal therapy, and other changes in the daily routine to achieve regular periods and reduce such problems as heavy bleeding or the long duration of the periods.

2. Dermatologist: Addressing Skin and Hair Concerns

PCOS causes skin problems such as acne and dark spots, hair loss, and weight gain. Dermatologists at DYU Healthcare provide the best solutions for the enhancement of skin health and regain the self-esteem of patients.

Acne:

This is due to hormonal imbalances in the body especially in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) which causes acne. DYU Healthcare provides specialized treatments such as:

• Chemical Peels: These are used to peel off the outer layer of skin to get rid of acne scars and for clearer skin.
• Laser Treatment: This treats the current breakouts, reduces inflammation, and reduces chances of future breakouts.

Fotona and Inmode Triton are advanced technologies for treating acne, each with unique benefits.

• Fotona uses a dual-wavelength laser to target acne-causing bacteria, reduce inflammation, and stimulate collagen production, making it effective for both active acne and scarring. It penetrates deep into the skin, helping improve texture and prevent future breakouts.

• Inmode Triton combines laser and intense pulsed light (IPL) technology to treat active acne, hyperpigmentation, and scarring over larger areas. It offers quick, painless treatment with minimal downtime.

Both options provide effective acne solutions, but the best choice depends on individual skin type and acne severity. Consult with a dermatologist to determine the ideal treatment for your skin.

Hyperpigmentation:

Hyperpigmentation, particularly on the neck, underarms, and groin area, is one of the skin problems associated with PCOS. Laser treatment and topical remedies for skin lightening and skin tone correction are provided by dermatologists.

Hair Loss:

Baldness and hair fall are some of the uncomfortable signs of PCOS. At DYU Healthcare, dermatologists provide advanced solutions like:

• GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate): An invasive method that increases hair follicle proliferation.
• PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): This treatment involves the administration of platelet-rich plasma into the scalp with an aim of stimulating hair growth.
• QR 678: A specialized therapy that is a new approach in the management of hair loss that feeds and promotes hair follicles regrowth.

Weight Gain:

A proper diet is important in managing PCOS since weight plays an important role in worsening the symptoms. Dermatologists offer non-invasive cosmetic treatments like:

• Aqua Therapy: Hydrotherapy that helps in the shedding of some pounds as well as enhancing the body shape.

• Non-Surgical Liposuction: This procedure is useful in the removal of excessive fats that are usually hard to lose through exercise and dieting without surgery.

EMSCULPT neo is a cutting-edge body contouring treatment that combines high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy with radiofrequency (RF) technology to target fat and build muscle simultaneously. Unlike traditional fat reduction treatments, EMSCULPT NEO not only helps to eliminate stubborn fat but also it strengthens and tones muscles, making it a dual-action solution for body sculpting.

3. Psychiatrist: Psychological Health and Emotional Welfare

The emotional aspect of the disease is not given much attention but is a very important aspect of a patient’s life. Women with PCOS are likely to suffer from depression and anxiety and have poor body image.

DYU Healthcare’s psychiatrists offer mental health services through counseling, CBT, and prescription of medications where necessary. They also assist the patients to recover their psychological strength and confidence since they cover both the emotional and the physical aspects of the disease.

4. Dietitians & Nutritionists: Dietary prescriptions

Women with PCOS must pay much attention to what they eat because their diet can determine the degree of their symptoms. DYU Healthcare’s dietitians and nutritionists design personalized meals based on the client’s requirements to control blood sugar, decrease insulin resistance, and manage weight.

We make sure that patients take moderate amounts of carbohydrates, proteins and fats that will make it easier for them to follow a good diet that will work hand in hand with the medical treatments.

5. Endocrinologist: Hormonal Status and Metabolic Profile

PCOS is primarily an endocrine disorder which has an impact on hormonal regulation and insulin action leading to obesity and Type 2 diabetes. Endocrinologists at DYU Healthcare focus on stabilizing these hormonal imbalances through:

• Insulin-Sensitizing Medications: Such drugs as Metformin are administered to increase the sensitivity of insulin and assist in weight loss and the prevention of diabetes.
• Hormonal Therapies: These treatments help to normalise hormonal levels such as testosterone and estrogen and thus help to lessen symptoms such as hirsutism, acne and irregular periods.

6. Physiotherapist:

Physiotherapists play a crucial role in managing PCOS by addressing symptoms like weight gain, pelvic pain, and insulin resistance. Through customized exercise programs, they help improve metabolism, promote weight loss, and regulate hormones. Pelvic floor therapy is provided for women experiencing discomfort, while posture correction and body mechanics improve mobility and relieve aches.

Additionally, physiotherapy can reduce stress through relaxation techniques, enhancing overall well-being. This holistic approach aids in managing PCOS symptoms and improving the quality of life for women.
