Hormonal health plays a vital role in a woman’s overall wellbeing. Conditions like PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) and irregular menstrual cycles are increasingly common, especially among young women. While these issues may start as mild discomforts, ignoring them can affect fertility, mental health, and long-term wellness.
At Kadimi Hospital, Nalgonda, our gynecology team helps women understand, manage, and improve hormonal health with early diagnosis and personalized care.
What Is PCOS?
PCOS is a hormonal disorder that affects how a woman’s ovaries function. It often begins during adolescence and continues into adulthood.
Common Symptoms of PCOS
- Irregular or missed periods
- Excess facial or body hair
- Acne or oily skin
- Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
- Hair thinning or scalp hair loss
- Difficulty in conceiving
Not every woman with PCOS experiences all symptoms, which is why early evaluation is essential.
Understanding Irregular Periods
Irregular periods refer to cycles that are:
- Too frequent or too far apart
- Unpredictable in timing
- Unusually heavy or very light
- Missed for several months
Possible Causes
- Hormonal imbalance
- PCOS
- Thyroid disorders
- Stress and lifestyle changes
- Excessive weight gain or loss
Persistent irregular cycles should always be medically evaluated.
How Hormones Affect Women’s Health
Hormones regulate menstruation, fertility, metabolism, mood, and skin health. Even small imbalances can cause noticeable changes in the body.
Effects of Hormonal Imbalance
- Fatigue and mood swings
- Sleep disturbances
- Weight changes
- Skin and hair issues
- Reduced fertility
Balancing hormones is key to maintaining long-term reproductive and metabolic health.
Diagnosis: When Should You Get Checked?
You should consult a gynecologist if you experience:
- Missed periods for 3 months or more
- Excessive acne or hair growth
- Sudden weight gain
- Difficulty conceiving
- Persistent menstrual irregularities
Diagnosis may include blood tests, ultrasound scans, and hormonal evaluation.
Treatment & Management Options
While PCOS cannot be “cured,” it can be effectively managed with the right approach.
Management May Include:
- Lifestyle changes (diet and exercise)
- Weight management plans
- Medications to regulate periods
- Hormonal therapy when required
- Fertility support if planning pregnancy
Early treatment helps reduce long-term risks such as diabetes and heart disease.
Healthy Lifestyle Tips for Hormonal Balance

Why Early Care Matters
Ignoring PCOS and hormonal problems may lead to:

Early diagnosis allows better control and improved quality of life.
