Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can be inherently a geneticcondition, but lifestyle factorslike obesity,a sedentary lifestyle can cause this condition. Unmanaged PCOS can lead to diabetes, obesity, and psychological issues like anxiety, potentially hindering conception. A healthy lifestyle, including managing diet, exercising, stress management, and medication, can help control PCOS and its allied conditions, promoting a positive impact on women with PCOS.
Speaking on planning for parenthood around PCOS and Endometriosis“ Dr. Rohit Gutgutia, Medical Director of Nova IVF Fertility, practising at Kankurgachi, Kolkata, said “ Chronic pelvic pain can happen with Endometriosis, for which most of the patients undergo surgeries. If you haven’t conceived yet, we would strongly recommend undergoing endometriosis-related surgeries in collaboration with a fertility specialist to avoid impacting your egg reserve. “
