One in five women in India suffers from PCOS. Delayed diagnosis and a lack of information about the syndrome cause a lot of issues for them. To boost awareness about polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and educate women across all age groups, Pristyn Care - the leading healthcare service provider has launched 'Fight PCOS' awareness campaign along with a national helpline. Pristyn Care through its primary care provider Lybrate will help women in India navigate PCOS through risk-screening, mental health support and guidance. Its senior gynecologists and expert therapists will provide consultations to women battling depression, anxiety and other mental health or clinical issues. Given such services are not within the reach of everyone, the consultations will be done for just INR 1. Commenting on the initiative, Dr Shaloo Varma, SVP-Medical Directorate at Pristyn Care said, "Every month, Pristyn Care receives 10,000+ queries from women enquiring about reproductive and sexual health services. The most common condition treated by us under gynecology is PCOS, as it impacts a majority of women experiencing symptoms such as irregular periods, heavy flow during periods, abdominal pain, excessive weight gain, acne and infertility. Women in the workforce who experience a high degree of menstrual cramping because of PCOS have to miss important meetings and work. This also causes additional stress and anxiety for them. According to external studies, up to 60 per cent of women with PCOS also suffer from mental health issues. Through this initiative, we will focus on helping women suffering from PCOS to provide holistic care and support." Commenting on the tech capabilities and synergies, Harsimarbir Singh, Co-founder at Pristyn Care said, "In case of mental discomfort, people often turn to technology-mediated solutions to seek counseling. Helplines are one of the most accessible ways for people to connect with a counselor and seek comfort. For women battling with PCOS, we've launched a centralized helpline system that allows women to choose from expert gynecologists and therapists, allowing them to chat on the platform and get personalized care. The success of the helpline can be gauged that on several occasions we have diagnosed serious health conditions which in turn improves the quality of patient's life."
