190 million women suffer from Endometriosis and PCOS — Learn about the causes and treatment options from IVF expert Dr. Shivani Sachdev Gour.
Endometriosis and PCOS are two major conditions affecting the fertility of millions of women. However, there's no need to lose hope — motherhood is still possible. The key lies in understanding the impact of these conditions and seeking the right treatment.
The term ‘infertility’ often carries a negative connotation. In India, especially, it is unfortunately associated with social stigma. In our society, marriage is traditionally seen as a sacred beginning to parenthood. But today, women’s lifestyles, priorities, and challenges are evolving. Similarly, for many men, marriage is not just about having children but also about companionship.
As a result, some couples choose to delay parenthood, while others may decide not to have children at all. Beyond personal choices, many external factors are also affecting the reproductive health of both women and men. Among these, Endometriosis and PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) are common causes.
PCOS not only leads to painful periods but can also impact a woman’s ability to conceive. However, it is not incurable. With expert guidance and proper treatment, it is entirely possible for women with PCOS to become mothers.
Dr. Shivani Sachdev Gour, Director of SCI IVF Hospital, located in Greater Kailash, Delhi, shares in-depth insights into how PCOS affects fertility and what treatment options are available.
