Doctors’ responses

Weight gain, along with symptoms like unwanted facial hair and accumulation of abdominal fat, can be indicative of conditions such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). To tackle this, the first step is lifestyle modification, as weight control is a crucial component in managing PCOS. Begin with dietary changes: aim for a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains while reducing intake of processed foods and sugars. It’s advisable to choose foods with a low glycemic index to help manage blood sugar levels. Incorporating regular physical activity is equally important. Aiming for at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise like brisk walking or cycling weekly can be beneficial. Strength training exercises twice a week can also help improve insulin sensitivity and build muscle mass.

In addition to lifestyle changes, it’s essential to consult a physician or a gynecologist for a comprehensive evaluation. They may recommend hormonal contraceptives to regulate menstrual cycles and anti-androgens if needed for controlling hair growth. Metformin is sometimes prescribed to improve insulin resistance, a common feature in PCOS. Remember, though, that medications should only be taken under the supervision of a healthcare provider. Also, regular monitoring of blood sugar, cholesterol levels, and blood pressure is important as PCOS can increase the risk for metabolic syndrome. In some cases, fertility concerns may arise, so options should be discussed early with a healthcare provider for those looking into family planning. While self-care is paramount, any sudden weight changes or persistent symptoms should prompt a medical evaluation to rule out any other underlying conditions.
