Why Gini is Different

The Endocrinologist + Gynaecologist Approach — Not Available Anywhere Else in the Tricity

Most hormonal conditions in women are treated by either a gynaecologist or an endocrinologist — rarely both together. At Gini, Dr. Deepika Gupta (Gynaecologist) and Dr. Anil Bhansali (Endocrinologist, former PGIMER Head) work as a joint team.

This matters because PCOS is simultaneously a metabolic and a reproductive condition — treating only one side produces incomplete results. Dr. Bhansali addresses the insulin resistance, androgen excess, and metabolic syndrome. Dr. Deepika Gupta manages ovarian health, cycle regulation, and fertility outcomes. This combined approach is why 70% of our PCOS patients conceive naturally — without IVF.

Why IVF Clinics Are Not the First Answer for PCOS

70% of PCOS patients don't need IVF — they need their insulin resistance treated first.

Most PCOS patients in Chandigarh are referred to IVF clinics. IVF is the last resort — not the first. 70% of PCOS patients conceive naturally when the insulin resistance driving the condition is properly treated first.

At Gini, we treat the metabolic root before any fertility intervention. Dr. Bhansali addresses insulin resistance, androgen excess, and metabolic syndrome. Dr. Deepika Gupta monitors ovarian health, cycle regulation, and fertility outcomes. Most patients don't need IVF.

❌ The Wrong Path
  • Referred to IVF clinic immediately
  • Root cause never addressed
  • Expensive, invasive procedures
  • Symptoms persist after IVF
✅ The Gini Approach
  • Full metabolic workup first
  • Insulin resistance treated at root
  • 70% conceive naturally in 6 months
  • IVF only if truly needed
Understanding PCOS

What is PCOS?

Polycystic ovary syndrome affects 1 in 5 Indian women — and insulin resistance is at the centre of it.

The Condition

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder characterised by excess androgens (male hormones), irregular menstrual cycles, and polycystic ovaries on ultrasound. It is the most common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age — affecting approximately 1 in 5 Indian women.

Despite the name, not all women with PCOS have cysts. The three defining features are: elevated androgens, irregular ovulation, and characteristic ovarian appearance on ultrasound.

The Insulin Connection

70%+ of PCOS patients have insulin resistance. This is the central driver most clinics miss.

When cells resist insulin, the pancreas produces more of it. Excess insulin stimulates the ovaries to produce androgens (testosterone), which:

  • Disrupts ovulation → irregular cycles
  • Causes acne and facial hair growth
  • Drives weight gain (especially abdominal)
  • Suppresses fertility

Treating insulin resistance is the foundation of PCOS management. This is why Dr. Bhansali's metabolic expertise is essential.

Symptoms

Symptoms of PCOS

PCOS presents differently in different women. You may not have all of these — but even a few warrant evaluation.

🔄

Irregular / Missed Periods

Cycles longer than 35 days, fewer than 8 periods per year, or complete absence of menstruation. A classic early sign of PCOS.

😔

Acne

Hormonal acne — particularly on the chin, jawline, and neck — that doesn't respond to standard skincare. Driven by elevated androgens.

💇‍♀️

Excess Facial Hair (Hirsutism)

Unwanted hair on the face, chin, chest, or abdomen due to elevated testosterone. One of the most distressing symptoms for many women.

🧴

Hair Thinning (Scalp)

Androgenic alopecia — thinning of scalp hair, particularly at the crown. Often occurs alongside excess facial/body hair.

⚖️

Weight Gain (Abdomen)

Insulin resistance drives preferential fat deposition around the abdomen. Weight gain worsens insulin resistance — a vicious cycle that must be broken.

🤱

Difficulty Conceiving

Irregular ovulation means fewer opportunities to conceive. However, 70% of PCOS patients at Gini conceive naturally once insulin resistance is treated.

😟

Mood Changes

Anxiety, depression, and mood swings are 3× more common in women with PCOS. Hormonal and metabolic imbalance affects brain chemistry directly.

🖤

Dark Skin Patches (Acanthosis Nigricans)

Dark, velvety patches of skin at the neck, armpits, or groin — a visible sign of insulin resistance and a classic PCOS marker.

Treatment Approach

Gini's PCOS Approach — Metabolic First, Fertility When Needed

A structured protocol that addresses root causes, not just symptoms.

🔬

Step 1: Full Metabolic Workup

Fasting insulin, HbA1c, testosterone (total + free), LH, FSH, AMH, prolactin, thyroid panel (TSH + Free T4), DHEAS, SHBG, lipid profile, pelvic ultrasound. We diagnose what others miss.

💊

Step 2: Insulin Resistance Treatment

Metformin (and inositol where appropriate) to address insulin resistance. This is the single most important intervention — it reduces androgens, restores ovulation, and improves fertility without synthetic hormones.

🔄

Step 3: Cycle Regulation

Dr. Deepika Gupta manages cycle regulation — monitoring ovulation, ovarian response to treatment, and adjusting hormonal support as needed. Ultrasound monitoring at Gini's in-house lab.

⚖️

Step 4: Weight Management Programme

Even a 5–10% reduction in body weight significantly improves insulin sensitivity and restores ovulation in PCOS. Our dietitian-led programme is calibrated to PCOS metabolism — not generic diets.

🌱

Step 5: Fertility Support (When Needed)

For patients who need additional fertility support: ovulation induction with letrozole or clomiphene under Dr. Deepika Gupta's supervision. IVF is referred only when medically indicated — not as a first resort.

📊

Ongoing Monitoring

PCOS requires long-term metabolic monitoring — it is a risk factor for Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and endometrial cancer. Dr. Bhansali provides ongoing endocrine surveillance. 15-minute in-house lab results.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions — PCOS Treatment

Common questions from Chandigarh patients about PCOS treatment at Gini Hospital.

Can PCOS be cured? +
PCOS cannot be permanently cured, but it can be very effectively managed. When insulin resistance — the root metabolic driver — is properly treated, most symptoms resolve or significantly improve. Many women achieve normal cycles, natural conception, and a symptom-free life. The key is treating the root cause, not just masking symptoms with hormonal pills.
Does PCOS cause infertility? +
PCOS is a leading cause of anovulatory infertility, but it does not mean you cannot conceive. Irregular ovulation reduces the frequency of conception opportunities — but does not eliminate them. 70% of PCOS patients at Gini conceive naturally within 6 months once insulin resistance is properly treated. IVF is referred only when medically necessary, not as a first step.
What is the connection between PCOS and insulin resistance? +
70%+ of PCOS patients have insulin resistance. When cells resist insulin, the pancreas produces more of it. Excess insulin stimulates the ovaries to produce androgens (testosterone), which disrupts ovulation, causes irregular cycles, acne, excess hair growth, and weight gain. Treating insulin resistance — with metformin, diet, and exercise — breaks this cycle. It is the single most important intervention in PCOS management.
How is PCOS diagnosed? +
PCOS is diagnosed using the Rotterdam criteria: two of three findings are required — irregular or absent ovulation, elevated androgens (clinical or blood test), and polycystic ovaries on ultrasound. At Gini, we run a complete panel: fasting insulin, HbA1c, testosterone (total and free), LH, FSH, AMH, prolactin, thyroid function, DHEAS, SHBG, and pelvic ultrasound. Results are available in 15 minutes from our in-house lab.
Can I conceive naturally with PCOS? +
Yes — and most patients at Gini do. 70% of our PCOS patients conceive naturally within 6 months when insulin resistance is treated first. We begin with metabolic management (metformin, weight management, cycle regulation under Dr. Deepika Gupta) before considering fertility interventions. Ovulation induction with letrozole or clomiphene is the next step if needed. IVF is the last resort.
What is the cost of PCOS treatment in Mohali? +
OPD consultation with Dr. Anil Bhansali: ₹1,500. Consultation with Dr. Deepika Gupta (Gynaecologist): ₹1,000. A combined PCOS assessment (both doctors, same visit) can be arranged. Full PCOS diagnostic panel (insulin, HbA1c, testosterone, LH, FSH, AMH, prolactin, TSH + pelvic ultrasound): approximately ₹4,500–6,000. Call 0172 4120100 for current pricing.
