Sai Nair, a 32-year-old software engineer,...
Sai Nair, a 32-year-old software engineer, had always prided herself on her predictable 28-day cycle. For the past 18 months, however, her periods had become increasingly erratic, arriving every 45 to 60 days, if at all. As someone who valued control and planning, this unpredictability was deeply unsettling. She was also trying to conceive with her husband, and the irregular cycles made timing impossible, adding a layer of anxiety and sadness to her frustration. Her GP referred her to a gynaecologist, Dr. Mehta. After a detailed history, Dr. Mehta explained that Sai was experiencing oligomenorrhoea, often linked to hormonal imbalances like PCOS. She recommended a full workup: blood tests for hormones (FSH, LH, thyroid, prolactin) and an ultrasound to visualize her ovaries. The blood draw was straightforward, though waiting for results was nerve-wracking. The transvaginal ultrasound was slightly uncomfortable but quick. The results confirmed PCOS, with multiple small cysts visible on her ovaries and elevated androgen levels. Post-diagnosis, Sai felt a confusing mix of relief and worry, relief to have a name for her problem, worry about fertility and long-term health. Dr. Mehta prescribed a course of progesterone to induce a withdrawal bleed and regulate her cycle, and recommended lifestyle changes including diet and exercise to manage insulin resistance. After three months of treatment and lifestyle adjustments, Sai's cycles shortened to a more regular 35-40 days. While not perfect, the predictability returned, and she felt empowered with a plan. The emotional journey shifted from one of confusion and helplessness to one of proactive management and cautious hope for her family-planning future.
