PCOS and PCOD on the rise in Indian women: Differences between the two and and symptoms to watch out for
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and Polycystic Ovary Disease (PCOD) are two of the most common health issues in women of reproductive age, across the globe. Closer home studies suggest that about 1 in 5 young Indian women suffer from these conditions, which is much higher than the global average. The conditions not just affect fertility, but can also result in a host of health issues. Let's dig deeper... Understanding the difference between PCOD and PCOS PCOS and PCOD both are hormonal disorders affecting female ovaries, the organs responsible for producing eggs and hormones like estrogen and progesterone. While the two are used interchangeably, there are some minor differences. Let's understand them first. PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease) occurs when ovaries produce immature or partially mature eggs in huge numbers, which can form cysts. This causes the ovaries to enlarge and produce excess male hormones (androgens), leading to symptoms like irregular periods and weight gain. PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) is a more complex condition where the ovaries produce higher-than-normal levels of male hormones, causing hormonal imbalance, missed periods, and difficulty in conceiving. Both conditions can lead to problems in the menstrual cycle (though this is not always the case) and can cause long-term health problems. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo What causes these conditions Lifestyle changes: Lack of exercise, unhealthy diet, and obesity are linked to insulin resistance, which can worsen PCOS symptoms. Genetics: Family often comes to play in PCOS/PCOD as women often have mothers or sisters with the same condition. Environmental factors: Exposure to certain chemicals and stress may also contribute to the conditions. Signs and symptoms to watch out for The symptoms of PCOS and PCOD can vary from mild to severe, and not all women will experience the same symptom or the severity. The only way to confirm the same is through an Ultrasound test. Symptoms often appear in the late teens or early twenties, but are not limited to that age bracket only. Let's take a look... Menstrual problems One of the most common symptoms is irregular menstruation. Women may experience fewer periods than normal (oligomenorrhea), skipped periods, or no periods at all (amenorrhea). This happens because the hormonal imbalance meddles with ovulation—the release of eggs from the ovaries. This results in irregular ovulation, ending in menstrual issues. Difficulty getting pregnant Since PCOS and PCOD affect ovulation, many women are unable to conceive till they are treated, though it is not impossible to get pregnant with these conditions. Many women conceive without even knowing they suffer from the same. More hair growth than usual High levels of male hormones cause unwanted hair growth on the face, chest, back, stomach, and other parts of the body. You might see it on your chin as well, which is a common symptom of the two conditions. Weight gain Many women with PCOS/PCOD gain weight easily, especially around the belly. Insulin resistance, a common feature of these conditions, makes weight management harder. Again, this could also be a symptom of other conditions, and not just indicative of PCOS/PCOD. Acne Hormonal imbalance can cause persistent acne, especially on the face, chest, and upper back. Some women also experience oily skin. Hair thinning Some women notice thinning hair or male-pattern baldness, where hair gradually falls out from the scalp. Dark patches Areas like the neck, underarms, and under the breasts may develop dark, thickened skin patches called acanthosis nigricans, which are linked to insulin resistance.

Hair loss and fertility are connected: Doctor shares 3 vital tips to improve your hair health
Hair loss in women is not always just about appearance, it can sometimes indicate hormonal imbalances that can hurt their fertility. Women, do you panic when you see strands of hair around the pillow after waking up in the morning? That sight can be fretting. Hair fall is embarrassing and can steal one's peace of mind. It can lower a woman's self-esteem. Hair fall is a growing matter of concern for a large number of women but when it becomes excessive or persistent, it may be more than just a cosmetic issue. In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Dr Rashmi Niphadkar, Fertility Specialist at Nova IVF Fertility in Pune's Baner, shared, 'In many cases, hair loss is a sign of hormonal imbalance, which can also have an impact on a woman's fertility. Yes, that's right! Women should report hair loss to the expert without any delay.' Dr Rashmi Niphadkar explained, 'Hormones play a critical part in both hair health and reproductive function. When the body experiences imbalances, especially with hormones like androgens, estrogen, thyroid hormones, or prolactin, it can take a toll on the natural hair growth cycle.' She added, 'Moreover, women with conditions like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) not only experience irregular periods and weight gain but also symptoms like thinning hair or male-pattern baldness due to increased androgen levels. It is also a known fact that PCOS is also one of the leading causes of infertility and needs timely management.' According to Dr Rashmi Niphadkar, another possible cause of hair loss related to fertility is thyroid dysfunction. She elaborated, 'Both hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) can induce in hair thinning, fatigue, and irregular menstrual cycles. Likewise, higher prolactin levels, a hormone involved in milk production can interfere with ovulation and make a woman lose her hair.' The expert revealed that nutritional deficiencies, stress, sudden weight changes, or certain medications can induce hormonal balance, leading to both hair loss and hurt a woman's fertility. 'A combination of blood and hormonal tests and ultrasounds can help detect the underlying issues and will help to initiate prompt intervention. It is essential to follow the expert's advice and not to try any medication or products on your own,' Dr Rashmi Niphadkar advised. It is the need of the hour to consult an expert and manage conditions like PCOS or thyroid problems. Dr Rashmi Niphadkar suggested: The health expert cautioned, 'Ignoring hair loss is a strict no-no as it can be linked to hormonal imbalance and in turn, fertility. So, exercise caution when it comes to your hair, hormones and fertility. Timely action can not only improve your hair health but also boost your fertility journey.'

Struggling with acne, dryness and breakouts? Dermatologist shares her simple skincare routine that actually works
Acne can be stubborn, but your skincare routine doesn't have to be. Dr. Madhurya Gogineni, dermatologist at Zennara Clinics, Hyderabad, shares with HT Lifestyle a simple yet practical routine that focuses on effective steps using proven ingredients to heal breakouts, protect the skin barrier, and promote long-term clarity. (Also read: Weight gain to acne: Doctor explains 6 common challenges faced by women due to PCOS; shares prevention tips ) "The first and most important step is cleansing. We recommend washing the face twice daily with a mild, non-comedogenic cleanser that helps remove dirt, oil and makeup without disrupting the skin's natural barrier. Harsh scrubbing or over-washing can worsen acne, so being gentle is essential," says Dr Madhurya. She adds, "Common ingredients we rely on include benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, clindamycin and adapalene. Benzoyl peroxide helps kill acne-causing bacteria and reduce inflammation. Salicylic acid works by unclogging pores and reducing oil buildup. Adapalene, a topical retinoid, increases cell turnover and prevents future breakouts. We include these in skin care and also as treatments in the clinic depending on the grade and type of acne." Hydration is another non-negotiable step. "Many people with acne avoid moisturisers, but we always recommend using a lightweight, oil-free formula to help maintain the skin barrier and reduce the side effects of active ingredients," says Dr. Madhurya. 'A good moisturiser can actually help the skin heal faster and improve tolerance to treatments.' When it comes to sun protection, Dr. Madhurya emphasises, "Sunscreen is non-negotiable, especially when the skin is being treated with retinoids or acids, which increase sun sensitivity. We recommend a broad-spectrum SPF of at least 50 that is clearly labelled non-comedogenic to avoid clogged pores and protect against hyperpigmentation." Lastly, she stresses the importance of patience and consistency. "Acne treatments often take several weeks to show visible improvement, and frequent product switching or picking at the skin can delay healing. In some cases, we may also consider lifestyle advice like stress management, sleep, and a balanced diet as part of the overall care," says Dr. Madhurya. "In short, our routine is about using the right products in the right way, supporting the skin's health while targeting acne gently and effectively," she concludes.
