If you are experiencing irregular periods, weight gain, acne, excessive hair growth, or difficulty conceiving, Dr. Lakshmi Kalbande at Penguin Hospital in Pimpri-Chinchwad provides personalised PMOS (PCOS) treatment in PCMC to identify the underlying hormonal imbalance and help restore your menstrual, reproductive, and metabolic health.
At Penguin Hospital, we believe that every woman deserves an accurate diagnosis and a treatment plan tailored to her unique needs.
Our comprehensive approach combines advanced diagnostics, lifestyle guidance, medical management, and fertility-focused care to address the root cause of your symptoms, not just provide temporary relief.
Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS), commonly known as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), is a hormonal and metabolic disorder that affects women of reproductive age.
It occurs when hormonal imbalances, particularly elevated androgen levels, interfere with normal ovulation, leading to irregular menstrual cycles and a range of symptoms, including acne, weight gain, excessive hair growth, hair thinning, and fertility difficulties.
Although PCOS is commonly associated with multiple small follicles in the ovaries, not every woman with PCOS has ovarian cysts, and not every ovarian cyst is caused by PCOS. Diagnosis is based on a combination of symptoms, medical history, blood tests, and pelvic ultrasound.
Without appropriate management, PCOS may increase the risk of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, infertility, high cholesterol, and endometrial problems.
Early diagnosis and personalised treatment can help manage symptoms, improve fertility, and reduce long-term health risks.
The exact cause of PMOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) is not fully understood.
However, research shows that a combination of genetic, hormonal, metabolic, and lifestyle factors can contribute to its development.
Common causes and risk factors include:
The most common underlying factor. When the body's cells do not respond effectively to insulin, the pancreas produces more, and elevated insulin levels stimulate the ovaries to produce excess androgens.
PCOS often runs in families. Having a mother or sister with the condition increases your risk.
Persistent inflammation may increase androgen production and contribute to the hormonal changes associated with PCOS.
Elevated androgen levels and an imbalance between luteinising hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) can interfere with ovulation and lead to irregular menstrual cycles.
Excess body weight can worsen insulin resistance and hormonal imbalance. However, PCOS can also affect women with a healthy body weight.
Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism can cause symptoms similar to PCOS or coexist with the condition, making thyroid evaluation an important part of diagnosis.
Long-term stress may influence hormone regulation and contribute to menstrual irregularities and worsening PCOS symptoms.
Early diagnosis and timely treatment can help manage symptoms, improve fertility, reduce the risk of long-term complications.
If you’re experiencing symptoms of PCOS or have concerns about your reproductive health, consult Dr. Lakshmi Kalbande at Penguin Hospital for a comprehensive evaluation and personalised treatment plan. Call us today at 09518904156 to book your appointment and receive expert, personalised care.
PMOS presents differently in every woman, which is one of the reasons it is so frequently misdiagnosed or dismissed for years. Common symptoms include:
Irregular periods, infrequent cycles, or complete absence of menstruation (amenorrhea)
Heavy periods or prolonged bleeding during periods
Excessive facial or body hair growth (hirsutism)
Persistent acne on the face, chest, or back
Thinning hair or hair loss from the scalp (female pattern baldness)
Unexplained weight gain, particularly around the abdomen
Darkening of skin in the neck, groin, or underarms (acanthosis nigricans)
Mood swings, anxiety, or depression
Chronic fatigue and disrupted sleep patterns
Increased risk markers for Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and fatty liver disease
If you notice any of these symptoms, do not ignore them. Early evaluation can help identify underlying hormonal imbalances, improve menstrual regularity, support fertility goals, and reduce the risk of long-term health complications.

Diagnosing PMOS requires carefully ruling out other conditions that produce similar symptoms including thyroid disorders, hyperprolactinaemia, adrenal conditions, and non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
At Penguin Hospital, our diagnostic process is thorough, precise, and explained to you clearly at every step.
We begin by taking a comprehensive personal and family medical history, reviewing your menstrual pattern in detail, documenting weight changes, and understanding exactly how your symptoms are affecting your daily life.
We test levels of LH, FSH, testosterone, DHEAS, prolactin, thyroid hormones, and fasting insulin to build a complete hormonal picture.
Fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, and other metabolic tests may be recommended to detect insulin resistance or prediabetes, which commonly occur in women with PCOS.
A pelvic ultrasound (transabdominal or transvaginal, when appropriate) is performed to assess the ovaries and identify features consistent with polycystic ovaries, while also ruling out other gynaecological conditions.
Since women with PCOS have a higher risk of high cholesterol and cardiovascular disease, lipid testing may be recommended as part of a comprehensive health assessment.
PCOS is diagnosed using the internationally recognised Rotterdam Criteria, which require at least two of the following three features after excluding other possible causes:
PMOS (PCOS) treatment is personalised because every woman’s symptoms, hormonal profile, and reproductive goals are different.
At Penguin Hospital, we develops an individualised treatment plan to regulate hormones, manage symptoms, improve fertility when desired, and reduce long-term metabolic risks.
We begin with a thorough review of your symptoms, medical history, and personal health goals to design a care plan that is truly yours.
Using blood tests, pelvic ultrasound, and clinical evaluation, we confirm the diagnosis of PCOS and identify associated conditions such as insulin resistance, thyroid disorders, or other hormonal imbalances that may influence treatment.
Your treatment plan is tailored to your diagnosis, symptoms, age, and reproductive goals. Depending on your needs, treatment may focus on regulating menstrual cycles, improving ovulation, managing acne or excess hair growth, supporting weight management, or improving fertility.
Healthy lifestyle changes are an essential part of PCOS management. Our team provides guidance on balanced nutrition, weight management, regular physical activity, stress reduction, and healthy sleep habits to improve hormonal balance and metabolic health.
PCOS is a long-term condition that benefits from ongoing care. Regular follow-up appointments help monitor menstrual cycles, hormonal health, weight, metabolic parameters, and treatment response, allowing your care plan to be adjusted as needed.
For carefully selected women who have not responded to medical treatment and lifestyle modifications, Laparoscopic Ovarian Drilling (LOD) may be considered to help restore ovulation and improve fertility.
PCOS treatment is personalised based on symptoms and goals. It may include hormonal therapy to regulate periods, Metformin for insulin resistance, fertility medicines like Letrozole or Clomiphene for ovulation support, and medications to manage acne, excess hair growth, and other androgen-related symptoms.
PMOS (PCOS) is a long-term condition, but with the right treatment and healthy lifestyle changes, its symptoms can be effectively managed.
Along with medical treatment, adopting healthy daily habits can improve hormonal balance, regulate menstrual cycles, support fertility, and reduce the risk of long-term complications.
A balanced, low-glycaemic diet rich in whole grains, lean protein, healthy fats, fruits, and vegetables can help improve insulin sensitivity, support weight management, and reduce excess androgen levels.
Even 30 minutes of moderate exercise five days a week significantly improves insulin sensitivity, supports weight management, and elevates mood. A combination of strength training and aerobic exercise produces the best hormonal results.
Chronic stress can affect hormone levels and worsen PCOS symptoms. Relaxation techniques such as yoga, meditation, mindfulness, and deep breathing exercises may help reduce stress and support hormonal health.
Getting 7–9 hours of quality sleep each night plays an important role in maintaining healthy hormone function, improving insulin sensitivity, and supporting overall metabolic health.
Routine follow-up appointments help monitor menstrual cycles, hormonal balance, metabolic health, and treatment response. Long-term monitoring is especially important to reduce the risk of complications such as type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and endometrial hyperplasia.
Small, consistent changes supported by the right medical team can produce transformative results. Many of our patients at Penguin Hospital experience significant symptom relief, restored menstrual regularity, and improved fertility within months of beginning a structured treatment plan.
The cost of PCOS treatment in PCMC depends on the severity of the condition, the investigations required, your treatment goals, and whether medical or surgical management is recommended.

If you have symptoms such as irregular periods, acne, excessive hair growth, weight gain, or difficulty conceiving, you should consult an experienced gynaecologist. Dr. Lakshmi Kalbande at Penguin Hospital provides comprehensive evaluation and personalised treatment for women with PMOS (PCOS) based on their symptoms and reproductive goals.
No. PMOS (PCOS) is a long-term hormonal and metabolic condition, but it can be effectively managed. With appropriate treatment, healthy lifestyle changes, and regular follow-up, many women achieve regular menstrual cycles, improved fertility, and better hormonal balance
No. Many women with PMOS conceive naturally. Others may require lifestyle modifications, ovulation induction medications such as Letrozole, or fertility treatment depending on the cause of ovulation problems.
PMOS commonly develops during the teenage years or early adulthood, often within a few years after the first menstrual period. However, it can be diagnosed at any reproductive age.
Many women notice improvements in menstrual regularity and symptoms within 3 to 6 months, although the timeline varies depending on the severity of the condition, treatment plan, and lifestyle changes.
Yes. Even a 5–10% reduction in body weight can improve insulin resistance, regulate menstrual cycles, promote ovulation, and reduce androgen-related symptoms in many women who are overweight or obese.
Women with PMOS are generally advised to limit refined carbohydrates, sugary drinks, processed foods, and excessive sugary snacks, as these can worsen insulin resistance. A balanced diet rich in vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and healthy fats is usually recommended.
You should consult a gynaecologist if you have irregular or absent periods, persistent acne, excessive hair growth, unexplained weight gain, difficulty conceiving, or symptoms that interfere with your daily life. Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent long-term complications.
PMOS (PCOS) is a chronic condition, so symptoms may return if treatment or healthy lifestyle habits are discontinued. Regular follow-up and long-term management help keep symptoms under control.
