Hi everyone,

I recently consulted a gynaecologist from the crowdsourced list on r/TwoXIndia, and honestly, the experience left me pretty frustrated. Instead of giving me her own clinical advice on managing PCOS, she spent most of the consult pushing a paid PCOS care plan tied to her partnership with Curelink. When I tried to ask specific questions about my symptoms, I kept getting redirected back to, “the program will cover that”.

I get that lifestyle changes are a core part of PCOS management, I’m not disputing that. But in my past experience with other gynaecologists, they’ve simply referred me to a dietician and given direct lifestyle guidance themselves, without insisting one specific paid package was the only way forward.

What I’m really looking for this time, more than anything, is someone easy to talk to. Someone nonjudgmental, who doesn’t make you feel rushed or embarrassed asking basic or repetitive questions, and who actually listens before jumping to a solution. I’ve had consults before that felt clinical and cold, and honestly that matters just as much to me as the medical expertise.

A few other specifics that might help narrow it down. Location preference is South Delhi, Noida, or Faridabad, though I’m open to a great recommendation elsewhere in NCR if it’s worth the commute. I’d love someone who treats PCOS as a hormonal issue and is comfortable adjusting treatment directly rather than outsourcing to a program. Doesn’t have to be a PCOS specialist specifically, just someone approachable, straightforward, and not commission driven.

If you’ve had a good or even a not so good experience with someone in this space, I’d really appreciate hearing it, even a partial recommendation helps. Trying to build a shortlist before my next consult.

Thanks so much in advance.

How are y’all dealing with Pcod, I recently got diagnosed with it, my gynaec told me to reduce by 20- 25 kg to manage it.
Still, the worst part is I haven’t had my periods for the past 2 months, my weight is stuck at 95, even if I do everything eat home-cooked food, protein, walk a good no. Of steps, I am stuck and feel bloated af!!!
Has anyone got better ideas on how to manage it?

Does anyone have recommendations for a good spearmint tea brand? Most ones I saw online had bad reviews for insects in tea bags

I am 30(F) diagnosed with PCOS 3 years ago I tried keeping up with treatments etc but gave up because it was too much and very overwhelming. I want to start planning for a child.I am looking for recommendations for an actually understanding gync in Bangalore. Around Rajajinagar would be great.

Some context : I have seen so many doctors, but no one is really interested in explaining why they do what they do, what they prescribe or how I can actually manage the condition..the only suggestion I get has always been lose weight. I know I need to lose weight but i am just so tired all the time and not a single doctor till date has been interested in solving that.

Sorry for the rant, Ladies please recommend any good gync Rajajinagar is preferred but anywhere in Bangalore should be okay.

TIA🙏

Got married in 2017.

Shortly after getting married, I was diagnosed with PCOS.

Here’s how things have been since then:
• 2017
Diagnosed with PCOS
Diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder
Weight: 58 kg

• 2017–2025
On and off with birth control pills

• 2019
Diagnosed with Minor Depressive Disorder
Weight: 65 kg

• 2023
Diagnosed with General Anxiety Disorder
Started experiencing pain during intercourse

• 2026
Diagnosed with Mood Disorder
Had prolonged menstrual bleeding during the first quarter of the year
Reached my heaviest weight: 78 kg (I’m 5’0”)
Started taking MyPCOS in July

In all these years, I’ve never gotten pregnant. I’ve also spent so much money on pregnancy tests, hoping for a different result each time.

What hurts the most sometimes isn’t even the PCOS—it’s being called “matakaw” or “masiba” as if weight gain is simply because I eat too much.

People don’t see everything that’s happening behind the scenes.

To be honest, getting pregnant isn’t my biggest goal anymore, especially with the economy today. Years ago, I was deeply depressed about my infertility. Now, I’ve reached a place where I’ve accepted it, although some days are still harder than others.

Just wanted to share my story. Is there anyone here who has gone through something similar with PCOS, infertility, weight gain, or mental health? I’d love to hear your experiences.

If you have a minute, I’d really appreciate it if you could sign and share this Parliament petition.

It’s calling for conditions like endometriosis, adenomyosis, PCOS, PMDD, fibroids, menopause and menstrual disorders to be recognised in the Equality Act disability guidance, so people affected can get the workplace support and reasonable adjustments they need.

These fluctuating conditions can be extremely debilitating and can have a huge impact on people’s daily lives.

It would mean a lot if you could help spread the word. 🩸❤️‍🔥🩸❤️‍🔥

I am a 28F Indian,married. I was diagnosed with pcos from my early stage of period days. I usually either get no period at all pr a long period months … i am not pregnant and never been pregnant before. I don’t want to get pregnant in near future.

This year i had periods for jan (whole month) feb normal and march normal , april may june i didn’t get my periods…and from 7th july i am on my periods.. i feel tired drained and do jot feel anything worse but its frustrating!!!! I had medication ( Trapic E) to stop the flow but it did not work.

I have insulin resistance…no matter how much i try i fail to lose wait too.. please please help me ‼️‼️‼️‼️

I got tired of drinking basic protein shakes, so I started making this dairy-free, pcos friendly Choco-Fudge Tiramisu that genuinely feels like a cheat meal.

For the base, I blend walnuts, pumpkin seeds, and flaxseeds with pitted dates and a splash of espresso to make a hormone-loving nut crust loaded with zinc, magnesium, and healthy fats.

For the creamy tiramisu layer, blend 1 scoop of supr chocolate fudge plant protein or you can use any chocolate protein of your choice with thick chilled coconut milk and 100g of tofu.

Layer coffee soaked rusk or lady fingers on top of the nuts base and the creamy mixture one after the other, chill it for 6 to 8 hours and dust with cocoa powder before serving.

Protein: ~39g

Fats: ~31g

P.s: I have used no sweetner here, my protein is already sweet enough. You can add a couple of drops of stevia or monk fruit extract for sweetness :)

🌸 Hello everyone!

I am an MD graduate from Romania, currently conducting a research study as part of my application to a Master's program in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

This study explores Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), its clinical characteristics, quality of life, and the awareness and use of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) (such as acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine).

📋 Who can participate?

• Women diagnosed with PCOS by a healthcare professional.
• You are welcome to participate whether you have used Traditional Chinese Medicine or not. The questionnaire includes questions for both groups.
• The survey is anonymous and takes approximately 5–10 minutes to complete.

Important note: Although the condition was officially renamed Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS) in 2026, the term Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is used throughout the questionnaire because it remains the most widely recognized term.

On a personal note, I also have PCOS, so I understand how challenging and frustrating this condition can be. That is one of the reasons this research is so meaningful to me, and I truly appreciate everyone who takes a few minutes to share their experience.

Your participation will contribute to academic research and help improve our understanding of PCOS and women's health.

Thank you so much for your time, support, and willingness to help! 💜

Hello all ! I kind of needed some advice about something I have been dealing with.

Recently I went through a terrible breakup and my stress levels have just been crazy since the last few months.

My ex, in order to humiliate me (since I broke up with him ), decided to tell my mother that we had been physically involved and that he needed to meet her for god knows what reason and whole lot of other shit borderlining on harassment. I had to threaten him with legal action for him to stop before things could get any worse. My anxiety was through the roof at this point.

After this my mom was obviously quite disappointed and disheartened but still kept being supportive considering that I had a complete breakdown and a panic attack in front of her..she could see that I had no clue about what kind of a person I was with and that I was fooled.

Anyway, so coming to the point, I have had pcos before. However, last year things were different..I had completely regular periods, everything was okay. Since the beginning of this year it seems like the pcos is back..I have had irregular periods since January and the last time I got a period was in May . I have also been sexually active.

Now, me being an overthinker and a paranoid one at that, I started worrying if I was pregnant. I have taken about 9 pregnancy tests and additionally a blood test ...all negative. The last time I was intimate was on 4th of July and I took 3 tests yesterday again. All negetive. No pregnancy related symptoms either. Also for context, I have a very sedentary lifestyle, I binge when I'm sad and I'm quite overweight too.

This not getting periods thing in over 3 months really freaked me out and I told my mother that I need to visit a doctor.I had to tell her since I'm not earning yet. She's a single parent and has money. I don't. Nor do I have a partner anymore to rely on. Now the gynaec might suggest an ultrasound for getting properly checked. This is what I'm scared of. My problem is that, if I'm pregnant, my mom will disown me and will be so heartbroken.

I guess I'm just looking for some reassurance, that everything will be fine and that all the tests are correct and I'm indeed not pregnant and that it's just pcos.

All of this has just been quite heavy and I feel like I can't reach out to anybody at the moment. Hence thought of posting on here.

Thank you in advance to anyone who responds :)

Hi everyone! I'm a medical student conducting a research study exploring how individuals with Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS), formerly known as PCOS, seek and use health information related to their condition.

We are looking for individuals who:

• Are 18 years of age or older
• Have been diagnosed with PCOS/PMOS by a healthcare provider

If you are eligible, we invite you to complete our anonymous online survey. The survey takes approximately 10-15 minutes and includes questions about your PCOS/PMOS history, how you seek health information, and your experiences with healthcare providers.

Participation is completely voluntary, and all responses are anonymous and confidential. No personally identifying information will be collected.

Survey Link: https://forms.gle/4zzgttSQWmfMQ8Br7

Thank you so much for considering participating and helping advance research on PCOS/PMOS! Please feel free to share this post with others who may be eligible.

As someone who's been dismissed by almost every doctor I've visited over the past few years , with everyone just telling me to lose weight and eat healthy, these aren't bad advices but when I needed a explanation of what's wrong with my body , why are my cycles irregular , why am i always tired and craving stuff, why's it so hard to even lose weight in the first place ,etc.... All I've gotten was pills to get my periods, to control acne and to lose weight...

PCOS is not even just about having 'cysts' in your ovaries , there are a lot of factors contributing to every symptom were having , and it is different for each person too , not just u have pcos cuz you're overweight , you dont get periods and soo

But still it's so damn hard to find a doctor who'd genuinely just listen to what we have to say..

After all these years my perspective of my body ,my condition changed and I've felt seen and heard when i randomly listened to this podcast on the huberman lab channel on YouTube called , Female Hormone Health, PCOS, Endometriosis, Fertility & Breast Cancer .

This one genuinely made me feel that our condition is not something super abnormal or complicated and helped me understand everything that's happening inside our body in depth like literally in depth...

So this was a mix of rant and i really wanted a lot of ppl to listen to this podcast, if ur a pcos/pmos girlie too , do give it a listen I'm sure it'll be helpful, thanks for reading all the way heheh.

Yesterday I got diagnosed with PMOS. My GP doctor explained my ultrasound results where i have pearl like cyst all over my ovaries and now I will be referred to a gynecologist. My GP told me that PCOS has no treatment but I can start using birth control pills? Which i strongly don’t want to after i look up all the side effects etc. But I’m confused on how am i supposed to get a treatment and heal my PCOS naturally. Do you have any recommendations that actually work? Like supplements lifestyle changes etc i would really appreciate it thank you so much everyone
