  women suffer from PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian
  Syndrome) in India. This has already placed PCOS
  on its way to qualify as an epidemic, and we
  arent taking the necessary steps yet.
• PCOS has been perceived as one of the main
  reasons behind infertility and with its impacts
  on cardiovascular health, it additionally adds to
  one of the biggest reasons for death in India.
  Tragically there is an absence of data, awareness
  and knowledge about PCOS, making it hard and
  difficult to diagnose effectively.

• Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome can lead to diabetes,
  high cholesterol and an increase in the risk of
  endometrial cancer, if left undiagnosed or
  untreated. It becomes quite crucial to treat and
  diagnose PCOS as early as possible, if patients
  want to stay away from other severe health issues
  and illnesses.

• Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome happens when a female
  stops ovulating, which results in a disturbance
  in the usual, repetitive interrelationship among
  the hormones in her body, ovaries and brain. The
  correct reason for PCOS is still not known.
  Before, it was suspected that Polycystic Ovarian
  Syndrome was caused completely by high androgen
  production. Later researches demonstrated that
  Metabolic Syndrome related with insulin
  resistance, and elevated amounts of insulin are
  behind the occurrence of Polycystic Ovarian
  Syndrome.

  when women try to lose the weight, they find that
  it either can't be loosed, or they regain weight
  once the diet is completed. This makes it really
  important for you to visit female gynecologists
  in Mumbai who can help you to manage your PCOS
  problem.
