PCOS is common—but how do you know if you have it?

Irregular or missed periods, unexplained weight gain, facial hair growth, persistent pimples, difficulty in conceiving, mood swings, constant tiredness—these are not “normal.” They are often early signs of hormonal imbalance and PCOS.

Early diagnosis and the right guidance can help manage symptoms, restore hormonal balance, and protect your long-term health. Don’t ignore the signals your body is giving you.

Consult a gynecologist today.

Painful periods are common—but they shouldn’t be ignored.
Simple measures like mild painkillers, heating pads, rest, and hydration can help ease menstrual pain. However, if the pain is severe, persistent, or affects your daily life, it’s important to consult a gynecologist to rule out any underlying pathological condition and get the right treatment.

What are heavy periods?
Clinically, losing more than 80 ml of blood in one cycle is considered heavy bleeding. But every woman’s body is different.
If your periods last longer than usual, require frequent pad changes, cause clots, or affect your daily routine, it could be a sign of an underlying issue.
Fibroids, hormonal imbalance, thyroid issues, PCOS, adenomyosis, or bleeding disorders can all be possible causes.

Don’t suffer in silence. Early diagnosis can make a big difference.
Consult an expert gynecologist today.

Myth Busted!
“Fibroids are cancerous” — ❌ Absolutely False!
Most fibroids are benign (non-cancerous) and can be easily managed with proper evaluation and treatment.

Symptoms like heavy periods, pelvic pain, bloating, or fertility issues may occur — but they do NOT mean cancer.

If you’re unsure or worried about your symptoms, don’t panic…
👉 Get the right consultation and clarity from a specialist.
