Assessment of irregular periods, androgen excess, insulin resistance and the metabolic concerns that come with PCOS.
Hyderabad, with weekly clinics in Shadnagar and Mahabubnagar
PCOS is more than irregular periods
Polycystic ovary syndrome can involve irregular cycles, excess androgens and long-term metabolic risk. Assessment focuses on your symptoms, findings and the right investigations, rather than a single lab value in isolation.

Excess hair growth or acne
Androgen-related symptoms are new, significant or hard to manage.
Concerns about ovulation
Ovulation or fertility concerns where a hormone assessment helps.
Weight or metabolic concerns
PCOS with weight gain, insulin resistance or abnormal glucose.
An uncertain diagnosis
You have been told it is PCOS but the cause remains unclear.
Symptoms despite treatment
Hormonal or metabolic concerns continue on your current plan.
Why see an endocrinologist for PCOS?
PCOS sits where reproductive hormones and metabolism meet.
An endocrinologist can assess PCOS alongside thyroid, adrenal and metabolic conditions when relevant.
Management is shaped around your symptoms, metabolic risk and reproductive goals.
