Two specialists. One appointment. Insulin resistance treated at the root — not masked by the pill.
At Gini Advanced Care Hospital, PCOS is treated by Dr. Anil Bhansali (Endocrinologist, former PGIMER Head) and Dr. Deepika Gupta (Gynaecologist) — together. Most PCOS patients in the Tricity are given contraceptive pills to regulate periods. That manages symptoms. Gini treats the metabolic root — the insulin resistance that drives elevated androgens, disrupts ovulation, and causes the cysts. 70% of patients achieve natural conception within 6 months.

PCOS sits at the intersection of endocrinology and gynaecology. Most clinics offer one. Gini offers both — in the same appointment.
Former Head of Endocrinology at PGIMER Chandigarh — the institution that trained most North Indian endocrinologists. 400+ publications, 81,000+ citations. Diagnoses and treats the metabolic root of PCOS: insulin resistance, androgen excess, adrenal contribution, thyroid overlap, and risk of Type 2 diabetes.
Specialising in women's hormonal health and fertility at Gini Advanced Care Hospital. Manages the gynaecological aspects of PCOS — menstrual regulation, fertility support, ovulation induction, and contraception planning. Works in close collaboration with Dr. Bhansali's metabolic assessments.
Most PCOS patients have seen a gynaecologist. They have not seen an endocrinologist. The missing half of the equation is why symptoms keep returning.
Every year, thousands of PCOS patients in the Chandigarh Tricity undergo IVF without first addressing the underlying insulin resistance. Many of these cycles fail — not because of poor technique, but because the hormonal environment has not been corrected first.
At Gini, our approach is: metabolic correction first, fertility treatment second. When insulin resistance is corrected and androgen levels normalise, a significant proportion of PCOS patients ovulate naturally and conceive without intervention.
At Gini, 70% of PCOS patients achieve natural conception within 6 months of metabolic treatment — without IVF.
For patients who do need fertility assistance after metabolic correction, the environment is optimised and success rates are significantly higher.

Irregular or absent periods. Excess facial/body hair (hirsutism). Acne — particularly jawline, chin, neck. Unexplained weight gain (especially abdominal). Thinning hair or hair loss. Difficulty conceiving. Fatigue and brain fog. Mood changes and anxiety.
Insulin resistance → pancreas overproduces insulin → excess insulin stimulates ovarian theca cells to produce excess testosterone → elevated androgens suppress FSH → follicles fail to mature → accumulate as cysts → no ovulation → irregular periods. This metabolic cascade is the PCOS mechanism in 70–80% of patients.
Oral contraceptive pills create artificial cycles but do nothing about insulin resistance, androgen excess, or metabolic risk. When the pill is stopped, symptoms return. Meanwhile, the insulin resistance quietly progresses toward Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
FSH, LH, testosterone (total and free), SHBG, AMH, oestradiol, prolactin, fasting insulin, fasting glucose, HbA1c, thyroid (TSH + Free T3/T4), DHEA-S, pelvic ultrasound for follicle count and ovarian volume. Most tests covered at CGHS rates for government employees.
A structured, metabolic-first approach — not a symptomatic patch.
Full hormone panel + fasting insulin + glucose + HbA1c + thyroid + pelvic ultrasound. Dr. Bhansali reviews the complete picture — not just a single TSH or ultrasound report. The pattern of LH:FSH ratio, AMH levels, and insulin resistance severity determines the treatment strategy.
Metformin, dietary restructuring (low glycaemic index approach), targeted exercise protocols, and in appropriate cases GLP-1 therapy — to directly lower insulin levels and improve insulin sensitivity. When insulin drops, androgen levels follow, and ovulation often restores naturally within 3–4 months.
While Dr. Bhansali corrects the metabolic environment, Dr. Gupta manages the gynaecological side — menstrual tracking, cycle regulation if needed, ovulation monitoring, and fertility planning. For patients trying to conceive, ovulation induction (Clomiphene, Letrozole) is initiated once the metabolic environment is optimised.
PCOS carries a 3–7× higher lifetime risk of Type 2 diabetes and elevated cardiovascular risk. Gini's ongoing programme monitors HbA1c, fasting insulin, lipid profile, and blood pressure — ensuring that as fertility is addressed, the long-term metabolic trajectory is also protected.
