PCOD and PCOS Treatment in PCMC - Srushti Hospital and IVF Center
Srushti Hospital and IVF Center in Thergaon, PCMC, offers PCOD and PCOS treatment under Dr. Nikhil A. Mahadar, MRCOG (UK), covering diagnosis, lifestyle management, menstrual cycle treatment, acne and hair symptom care and fertility support for PCOS.
What Are PCOD and PCOS?
PCOD (polycystic ovarian disease) and PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) are often used interchangeably though they are not identical conditions. Both involve the ovaries releasing immature or partially mature eggs, which can lead to irregular periods, weight changes and fertility difficulties. Getting the distinction right, rather than treating both as the same condition, is why an accurate diagnosis at the first consultation matters more than the label a patient arrives with.
What Is PCOD?
PCOD describes ovaries that release many partially mature or immature eggs, which can turn into small cysts over time. It is common and often responds well to lifestyle changes and monitoring.
What Is PCOS?
PCOS is a broader hormonal and metabolic disorder that can affect insulin resistance, weight and long-term health, not only the ovaries. It generally needs more structured, longer-term management than PCOD.
Why Proper Diagnosis Matters.
PCOD and PCOS share several symptoms, but they are not managed the same way. Dr. Mahadar’s evaluation, including history, examination and same-visit ultrasound, is built to tell the two apart before recommending a treatment plan, rather than treating every case of irregular periods as PCOS by default.

PCOD vs PCOS: What Is the Difference?
| PCOD | PCOS |
|---|---|
| A common hormonal condition | A broader metabolic and hormonal disorder |
| Ovulation may be irregular | Ovulation problems are more consistently present |
| Symptoms are often milder | Can involve wider metabolic effects such as insulin resistance |
| Lifestyle management is often enough on its own | Often needs longer-term, structured medical management |
Tests Dr. Mahadar Uses to Diagnose PCOD and PCOS
A PCOD or PCOS diagnosis is not based on a single test. Dr. Mahadar combines a clinical assessment with an ultrasound and a set of blood tests to build a complete picture before recommending treatment.
- Clinical assessment. Menstrual history, symptom review and a physical examination, including weight and visible signs such as acne or excess hair growth.
- Pelvic or transvaginal ultrasound. Performed personally by Dr. Mahadar at the same visit, checking ovarian size and the number and pattern of follicles.
- LH and FSH. Luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone, often assessed together since an elevated LH-to-FSH ratio is common in PCOS.
- Checked for signs of excess androgen, which can explain acne, excess hair growth or hair thinning.
- Prolactin and TSH. Used to rule out a thyroid disorder or high prolactin as the cause of irregular periods, since both can produce similar symptoms to PCOS.
- AMH (Anti-Mullerian Hormone). Often raised in PCOS and considered alongside the ultrasound findings rather than on its own.
- Fasting blood sugar and insulin. Checked for insulin resistance, which is common in PCOS and affects long-term metabolic health.
- Lipid profile. A cholesterol check, since PCOS is linked to a higher long-term risk of metabolic complications.
