PCOS Treatment in Varanasi
Restore regular cycles, manage weight, clear skin and improve fertility outcomes with structured PCOS care.
Introduction
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) affects roughly 1 in 5 young women in India — and Varanasi is no different. It is the leading hormonal cause of irregular periods, weight gain, acne, unwanted hair growth and infertility in women under 40.
PCOS is often misunderstood as 'just irregular periods' or 'just weight'. In reality, it is a complex hormonal-metabolic condition where insulin resistance, raised androgens and ovarian dysfunction interact. The same insulin resistance that causes PCOS can later cause diabetes, fatty liver and heart disease if left untreated.
At our clinic, PCOS treatment in Varanasi is led by Dr. Ashutosh Mishra — a senior endocrinologist who treats PCOS as a whole-body hormonal condition, not just a gynaecological one. Treatment combines diet, exercise, insulin sensitisers, hormone therapy where required, and fertility-friendly planning.
