Women with
PCOS should bring some lifestyle changes during the lockdown, say, doctors
Acknowledging
that the lockdown measures have abruptly halted active treatment of
infertility, doctors specializing in this field said that they will prioritise
cases with advanced maternal age and whose gametes are frozen for long, while
also suggesting that an extensive change in protocols will be required once the
lockdown is lifted. Speaking at a web summit organized by the IHW (Integrated
Health & Wellbeing) Council, a not-for-profit think tank based in New
Delhi, the doctors added that the lockdown should be used as an opportunity by
women with the polycystic ovary to lower their stress levels and modify diet
and exercise to facilitate the treatment.
“Polycystic
ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common conditions in Indian women; one
out of 10 suffers from it. The treatment is 70 percent diet modification and
30 percent exercise. Ensure your diet is low in Tran’s fat – so say no to junk
food and sugar – and increase the share of protein,” said Dr
Shivani Sachdev Gour, founder & director, SCI Healthcare, New
Delhi.
