Treated by Dr. Kavya Jonnalagadda at Sree Charith Hospital
PMOS, or Polycystic Ovary Morphology on Scan, refers to a finding on ultrasound where the ovaries show multiple small follicles arranged around the periphery. This appearance alone does not mean you have a disease—it is one feature that may or may not be accompanied by hormonal imbalances or irregular periods. At Sree Charith Hospital, Dr. Kavya Jonnalagadda evaluates each patient individually to understand whether any treatment is needed based on symptoms and overall health.
Ultrasound shows polycystic ovaries but periods are regular, hormones are normal, and there are no metabolic problems. No treatment may be needed.
Ovarian morphology is accompanied by infrequent or absent periods. Hormonal evaluation helps identify any underlying imbalance.
Along with the scan findings, there may be insulin resistance, weight gain, or lipid abnormalities requiring lifestyle and metabolic management.
Multiple factors can contribute to the development and progression of this condition.
Recognising the signs early gives you more treatment options.
Diagnosis begins with a detailed menstrual and medical history, followed by physical examination. Pelvic ultrasound reveals the ovarian appearance, and hormonal blood tests help assess whether there are metabolic or endocrine concerns. Not every patient requires all investigations.
From conservative to surgical — we always start with the least invasive option first.
A structured, patient-first approach from first visit to full recovery.
Dr. Kavya Jonnalagadda takes time to understand your menstrual pattern, symptoms, family history, and health goals to tailor the assessment.
Blood tests and pelvic ultrasound are arranged at the right time in your cycle to get an accurate picture of hormone levels and ovarian structure.
Treatment is shaped by your symptoms, metabolic health, and whether you are planning pregnancy. Not every woman with PMOS needs medication.
Follow-up appointments at Sree Charith Hospital track your response to lifestyle changes or medication, with adjustments made as your needs evolve.
What to expect at each phase of recovery.
The first weeks to months focus on establishing healthy eating and exercise habits. Improvements in energy and cycle regularity may begin during this time, though individual timelines vary.
With sustained lifestyle change or medication, insulin sensitivity and hormone levels often improve. Menstrual cycles may become more predictable, and symptoms such as acne or hair growth may lessen gradually.
Ongoing healthy habits and periodic review help maintain hormonal balance, support fertility when desired, and reduce long-term metabolic risks. Individual guidance takes priority over fixed timelines.
Many women experience more predictable cycles with lifestyle changes or hormonal treatment, though some irregularity may persist depending on individual factors.
Weight management and insulin-sensitising medication can lower the risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease over time, but ongoing effort is required.
Ovulation-induction therapy helps many women conceive, though success depends on individual circumstances and additional factors beyond PMOS alone.
Excess hair growth and acne may improve but often require prolonged treatment, and some changes may not fully reverse even with good hormonal control.
Without attention to lifestyle or hormonal balance, irregular periods may continue and the lining of the womb may thicken excessively, raising the risk of endometrial problems over time. Untreated insulin resistance can progress to type 2 diabetes and increase cardiovascular risk. Women trying to conceive may experience difficulty due to infrequent or absent ovulation.
Seek medical advice if your periods are very irregular, absent for several months, or if you notice unexplained weight gain, excess hair growth, or difficulty conceiving. Early evaluation allows for timely lifestyle guidance and treatment when needed. Women in Tirupati can consult an endocrinologist for personalised assessment and care.
Early treatment means more options and better outcomes. Book a consultation to understand your condition and explore the right path forward.
