PCOS: Causes, Symptoms and Holistic Treatments That Work

READ TIME: 12 min

Introduction

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) affects nearly 1 in 5 women in India but remains widely misunderstood and underdiagnosed. PCOS symptoms, including irregular periods, acne, weight gain, and fertility challenges, impact many aspects of life. At NuHealth, we take a root-cause, holistic approach that treats the body as an interconnected system, rather than merely focusing on hormones. This guide helps you understand PCOS and how to manage it naturally, safely, and effectively.

What Is PCOS?

PCOS is a hormonal disorder characterized by enlarged ovaries with multiple small cysts. It involves elevated androgens (male hormones), insulin resistance, and disrupted ovulation. Importantly, PCOS is not just a reproductive disorder; it is also a metabolic and inflammatory condition affecting the whole body.

Common Symptoms of PCOS

  • Irregular or absent menstrual cycles
  • Excess facial or body hair (hirsutism)
  • Acne, often around the jawline
  • Oily skin or hair thinning
  • Weight gain, especially abdominal
  • Difficulty losing weight
  • Insulin resistance or prediabetes
  • Mood swings, anxiety, or depression
  • Fertility difficulties

Limitations of Conventional Treatment

Standard treatments such as birth control pills and metformin may temporarily relieve symptoms but often fail to address the underlying causes. Side effects and symptom relapse are common. At NuHealth, we prioritize individualized root-cause diagnosis and treatment.

What Causes PCOS?

  • Insulin resistance
  • Chronic low-grade inflammation
  • Genetic predisposition
  • Adrenal dysfunction
  • Gut microbiome imbalance and impaired liver detoxification
  • Nutrient deficiencies, including magnesium, chromium, and B vitamins

Holistic Treatment at NuHealth

Our approach integrates functional diagnostics with natural, personalized interventions:

  • Nutrition & Blood Sugar Control: Low-glycemic, anti-inflammatory diet emphasizing fiber and quality protein. Meal timing and blood sugar monitoring support metabolic health.
  • Gut & Liver Detox: Functional testing for leaky gut or dysbiosis, herbal liver detox support, and use of binders and glutathione.
  • Stress & Adrenal Health: Adaptogens such as ashwagandha and rhodiola, sleep optimization, relaxation therapies, and cortisol rhythm testing.
  • Targeted Supplementation: Use of myo-inositol, D-chiro inositol, magnesium, zinc, chromium, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D3, B12, and NAC tailored to individual needs.
  • Personalized IV Therapy: Supporting energy, hormone balance, and antioxidant capacity with glutathione, B-complex, magnesium, and amino acids.
