What PCOS Is, and How It Differs From PCOD
PCOS is diagnosed when two of the three Rotterdam features are present: irregular or absent periods, raised androgens on blood tests or their signs, and polycystic ovaries on ultrasound.
PCOD only describes polycystic-looking ovaries on a scan. Plenty of women have ovaries like this without the hormone changes of PCOS, and if your periods are regular and your hormones are normal, you may need no treatment at all. PCOS is the diagnosis that needs active care.
In May 2026 a global consensus published in The Lancet renamed the condition polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome, or PMOS. This page uses PCOS, the name most people know.
Signs That Point to PCOS
Irregular or missed periods, with cycles longer than 35 days, together with signs of raised male hormones are the usual pattern.
- Irregular periods that come rarely or stop altogether
- Excess facial and body hair on the upper lip, chin, chest or abdomen
- Hormonal acne along the jawline, chin and back
- Thinning hair at the crown and temples
- Weight gain around the waist
- Dark, velvety skin at the neck, armpits or groin
- Low mood, anxiety, tiredness or trouble concentrating
- Difficulty getting pregnant
One sign on its own does not make the diagnosis, so the next step is a proper assessment.
Tests at Your First PCOS Visit
Blood tests for hormones and insulin, plus a pelvic ultrasound, are the usual first tests, and Dr. Rizwan chooses which ones you need from your symptoms and history.
| Test | Why it is done |
|---|---|
| LH and FSH | To assess the signals between the pituitary gland and the ovaries |
| Total and free testosterone | To measure androgens, the male hormones behind excess hair and acne |
| DHEAS | To check androgens made by the adrenal glands |
| AMH | To assess ovarian reserve, the supply of eggs |
| Fasting insulin and glucose | To look for insulin resistance and raised blood sugar |
| Thyroid function tests | To find thyroid problems, which are common alongside PCOS |
| Prolactin | To rule out high prolactin, another hormonal cause of irregular periods |
| Pelvic ultrasound | To look for many small follicles on the ovaries |
The results are read with a detailed clinical history before any treatment is suggested.
How PCOS Treatment in Lahore Works
There is no single best medicine for PCOS: the plan follows your results and your main goal, and it usually starts with diet and activity changes that improve insulin sensitivity.
Insulin resistance drives much of PCOS. When cells respond poorly to insulin, the body makes more of it, which makes fat easier to store and pushes the ovaries to make more androgens. That is why weight can be so hard to shift, and why the risk of type 2 diabetes is higher. Even a 5% loss of body weight can help periods and ovulation work better.
If irregular periods or acne bother you most and you are not trying to conceive, combined hormonal contraceptives are usually the first medicine, after a check of your blood pressure, smoking and clotting history. Metformin is used where insulin resistance or blood sugar is the main problem; it can help irregular periods for some women, but it is not reliable for excess hair or acne, so medicines for those are added when they bother you most. The same clinic provides diabetes care in Lahore if sugar has already risen. Thyroid treatment is added when the tests call for it.
For weight-focused treatment, Dr. Rizwan discusses Mounjaro injections after a careful assessment, and his article on why weight loss is hard with PCOS goes further.
Please do not self-medicate: the wrong medicine can make the hormone imbalance worse. Follow-up visits recheck hormones and metabolic markers, adjust the plan and catch early signs of diabetes. If you live outside Lahore, you can book an online consultation.
Can You Get Pregnant With PCOS?
Most women with PCOS can conceive. Irregular ovulation is the obstacle, and bringing the hormones and metabolism under control often restores it.
PCOS is the most common cause of infertility from absent ovulation, and also one of the most responsive to treatment. A good number of women conceive without any fertility procedure once their hormone and metabolic health is under control. When pregnancy is the goal, ovulation is induced under close supervision with medicines such as clomiphene or letrozole, and it is monitored. Women with PCOS who conceive have a slightly higher risk of gestational diabetes, so blood sugar is watched during pregnancy. The page on hormonal causes of infertility goes into more detail.
Why See an Endocrinologist for PCOS Treatment in Lahore
The hormones and metabolism behind PCOS are an endocrinologist's field, while IVF and other fertility procedures belong to fertility clinics.
An endocrinologist reads the hormone and metabolic results together and follows them over time, so one doctor sees the whole picture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can PCOS be cured permanently?
There is no permanent cure in the usual sense, but PCOS can be managed very well. Many women reach regular cycles, normal hormone levels and a good quality of life with treatment, and for some, significant weight loss brings near-complete relief. PCOS-related hormone symptoms usually settle after menopause.
