PCOS: Causes, Symptoms and Holistic Treatments That Work
READ TIME: 12 min
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) affects nearly 1 in 5 women in India — yet it remains misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and often mismanaged. From irregular periods and acne to weight gain and fertility issues, the symptoms of PCOS can impact every part of a woman’s life.
At NuHealth, we take a root-cause, holistic approach to managing PCOS — one that treats the body as an interconnected system, not just a hormonal imbalance. Here’s your expert guide to understanding PCOS and what you can do to manage it naturally, safely, and effectively.
What Is PCOS?
PCOS is a hormonal disorder that causes enlarged ovaries with small cysts on the
outer edges. It involves elevated levels of androgens (male hormones), insulin
resistance, and disruptions in ovulation.
It’s not just a reproductive issue — it’s a metabolic and inflammatory condition
with whole-body impact.
Common Symptoms of PCOS
- Irregular or missed periods
- Excess facial/body hair (hirsutism)
- Acne, especially along the jawline
- Oily skin or hair thinning
- Weight gain, especially around the belly
- Difficulty losing weight
- Insulin resistance or prediabetes
- Mood swings, anxiety, or depression
- Fertility challenges
The Problem With the Usual Approach
Most conventional treatments include birth control pills or metformin. While they may mask symptoms temporarily, they don’t address the underlying causes — and may come with side effects.
At NuHealth, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all fixes. We start with data, and treat the root.
What Causes PCOS?
The exact cause isn’t always clear, but contributing factors include:
- Insulin resistance
- Chronic inflammation
- Genetic predisposition
- Adrenal dysfunction
- Gut dysbiosis and poor liver detox
- Nutrient deficiencies (like magnesium, chromium, B vitamins)
