🌸 Hormonal & Ovulation Issues in Women: Understanding Common Conditions and When to Seek Help

Hormones play a key role in regulating a woman’s menstrual cycle, fertility, and overall health. When this delicate balance is disrupted, it can lead to menstrual irregularities, difficulty in conceiving, and even long-term health issues. At Divya Clinic, we help women identify and manage such hormonal problems with compassion, care, and expert diagnosis.

Here are four major hormonal and ovulation-related conditions women commonly face:

1. 🧬 Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

What is PCOS?

PCOS is a hormonal disorder where the ovaries produce excess male hormones (androgens), leading to cysts on the ovaries, irregular periods, and issues with ovulation.

Common Symptoms:

Irregular or absent periods
Weight gain, acne, excess facial hair
Difficulty conceiving
Dark patches on the skin (insulin resistance)

Treatment at Divya Clinic:

Hormonal pills to regulate periods
Lifestyle changes: weight management, balanced diet
Ovulation-inducing medications for fertility
Blood sugar and insulin monitoring

Tip:

Early treatment of PCOS can prevent diabetes, infertility, and heart disease later in life.

2. 🧠 Thyroid-Related Menstrual Irregularities

How does the thyroid affect your periods?

The thyroid gland controls metabolism and affects reproductive hormones. Both hypothyroidism (underactive) and hyperthyroidism (overactive) can disrupt periods and ovulation.

Symptoms:

Hypothyroidism: fatigue, weight gain, heavy or irregular periods
Hyperthyroidism: anxiety, weight loss, short/light periods
Infertility and mood changes

Treatment at Divya Clinic:

Simple blood test (TSH, T3, T4) to diagnose
Thyroid hormone medications to restore balance
Ongoing monitoring to maintain reproductive health

Tip:

Never ignore sudden changes in weight or cycle length — your thyroid may be the cause.

3. ⚠️ Premature Ovarian Failure (POF)

What is POF?

Also known as primary ovarian insufficiency, this condition occurs when the ovaries stop functioning properly before the age of 40.

Symptoms:

Irregular or skipped periods
Hot flashes, mood swings
Trouble conceiving
Low estrogen levels

Treatment:

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
Calcium and vitamin D supplements
Fertility counseling and egg donation options for pregnancy

Tip:

Early diagnosis is crucial — if you're under 40 and experiencing menopause-like symptoms, see a gynaecologist.

4. 🔄 Menopause and Perimenopause Symptoms

What is it?

Menopause marks the end of menstruation (typically between 45–55 years), while perimenopause is the transitional phase before it.

Common Symptoms:

Irregular periods
Hot flashes and night sweats
Vaginal dryness
Mood changes, memory lapses
Sleep disturbances

Treatment at Divya Clinic:

Hormonal and non-hormonal therapies
Bone density monitoring
Vaginal moisturizers and lubricants
Emotional support and counseling

Tip:

You don’t have to suffer in silence — effective treatments are available to manage menopausal symptoms and improve quality of life.

🩺 When Should You Seek Help?

If you are experiencing:

Irregular or absent periods
Trouble getting pregnant
Signs of early menopause
Sudden weight changes or emotional shifts

Consult a gynaecologist early. Timely evaluation can prevent complications and restore hormonal balance.
