What Is PCOS & How Does It Affect Fertility?

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine condition affecting up to 10% of women of reproductive age. Characterized by hormonal imbalances, ovarian cysts, and insulin resistance, PCOS often results in irregular or absent ovulation—a key factor behind infertility.

Women with PCOS frequently experience:

  • Elevated androgen levels

  • Irregular menstrual cycles

  • Anovulatory cycles (when ovaries don’t release eggs)

These disruptions negatively impact fertility. Without consistent ovulation, conception becomes unlikely. To address this, comprehensive PCOS treatment—including holistic lifestyle changes and medical protocols—is vital.


Lifestyle & Nutritional Interventions at Ashakiran Hospital

Ashakiran Hospital’s lifestyle counseling forms the foundation of their fertility program. Here’s how they help women reclaim their reproductive health:

Balanced Diet & Weight Management

Registered dietitians craft personalized meal plans, focusing on low-glycemic foods, high-fiber intake, and lean proteins. Even modest weight loss (5–10%) significantly improves insulin sensitivity and hones hormone regulation.

Physical Activity

A blend of cardio, strength training, and yoga is encouraged to enhance insulin uptake and optimize metabolic health.

Stress Reduction

PCOS often coexists with stress and anxiety. Ashakiran’s integrative team offers mindfulness, meditation, and support groups—evidence-based tools to reduce cortisol and foster a calmer mind.

These interventions often resume ovulation without further medical aid—the ideal “natural” path to conception.


Medical Treatments: Ovulation Induction, IUI & IVF

When lifestyle changes alone don’t restore fertility, Ashakiran Hospital escalates treatment methodically.

Ovulation Induction

As part of the ovulation disorders treatment, medications like Letrozole and Clomiphene Citrate are prescribed. With careful ultrasound and hormone monitoring, patients often resume regular cycles within 2–6 treatment rounds.

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)

If ovulation induction brings improvement but natural conception remains elusive, IUI provides a simple yet effective next step. Under mild ovarian stimulation, Ashakiran's team places sperm directly into the uterus, raising conception chances in cases of mild male-factor or unexplained infertility.

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

For patients who don’t respond to IUI or have more complex fertility concerns, the clinic’s dedicated IVF program offers tailored protocols. The IVF process—covered on the IVF and ICSI page—includes:

  1. Controlled ovarian stimulation

  2. Careful egg retrieval

  3. Embryo development and genetic screening (if required)

  4. Embryo transfer with luteal-phase support

Doctors adjust medication to minimize ovarian hyperstimulation risks typical in PCOS.

Real Success Stories & Outcomes

Real progress is best illustrated by real women—and Ashakiran has several inspiring journeys.

Natural Conception

One patient, overweight with irregular cycles, lost 7% body weight in three months. With improved menstrual regularity, she conceived naturally in her second cycle.

IUI Achievement

Another couple with mild male-factor infertility and PCOS underwent three IUI cycles at Ashakiran. They conceived in the third cycle, now expecting their first child.

Successful IVF

A 32‑year‑old with anovulatory PCOS and controls-resistant cycles started a low-dose IVF protocol. She had four good‑quality blastocysts—two transferred, one fresh embryo implanted, and now she is enjoying her third trimester.

These examples underscore Ashakiran’s step‑wise, data‑driven model—supporting natural methods first, then moving to advanced reproductive techniques only when needed.


Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Can I fix PCOS-induced infertility naturally?

Yes—lifestyle improvement alone reinstates ovulation for up to 70% of women with PCOS within 3–6 months.

Q2: Which medication does Ashakiran start with?

Letrozole is preferred first-line. Clomiphene is used if Letrozole fails or if there are contraindications.

Q3: How many IUI cycles are typical?

Many couples try 2–3 cycles. Success rates range from 10% to 20% per cycle.

Q4: Is IVF riskier for PCOS patients?

With expert care, the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is minimized. The IVF program is customized to reduce complications.

Q5: How long until I see results?

After lifestyle work, expect ovulation return in 3 months. Ovulation drugs work within 1–3 cycles, IUI 3–6 months, and IVF 9–12 months on average.

Q6: What kind of emotional support is available?

Ashakiran provides mental-health specialists, counseling sessions, group workshops, and stress‑management programs in-house.
