    Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common health concerns among women today. But is it treatable, or only manageable? In this episode of The Orange Club Podcast, Dr. Usha explains how lifestyle and medical care come together in managing PCOS.

    Why Lifestyle Is the First Step

    The foundation of PCOS management lies in lifestyle changes. Maintaining a healthy weight and focusing on a balanced diet help regulate hormones and reduce symptoms. Even small, consistent changes in daily habits can make a significant difference.

    When Medical Care Becomes Necessary

    While lifestyle is key, some women also need medical support. PCOS is often linked to insulin resistance, where the body struggles to use insulin effectively. In such cases, doctors may prescribe insulin-sensitizing medicines such as metformin to help restore balance.

    A Combination Approach

    PCOS doesn’t have a one-size-fits-all solution. For many women, lifestyle adjustments alone may be enough, while others benefit from a mix of healthy habits and medical treatment. The right plan depends on individual needs and should always be guided by a doctor.
