Thank you so much for all the constructive criticism. Point well taken - I will adjust my approach accordingly in future. Apologize for inconvenience 🙏
Although I've already educated myself about most of things that were explained in this video, it really helps to keep listening to these points and being reminded. Because somewhere along the way, it gets exhausting to keep trying and failing to lose weight. It's keeps going up and down. I'll lose 2-3kg, again gain back 1-2kg. Cycle repeats. So I lose the motivation. But then we watch such videos and get re-educated and re-motivated to take it more seriously and try again 😊 So thanks a lot for this! ❤️
Myth : PCOS Only Affects Overweight Women It is true that many women who have PCOS are overweight or obese. And it's also true that obesity can make PCOS symptoms worse. However, PCOS does not discriminate and can affect women of all shapes and sizes
True that, it causes a normal weighing woman to eventually become obese as well. The symptoms show up regardless of weight gain, the doctors don’t know how to fix the irregular problem for teenagers as well.
vera level conversion..will share the conversion to my wife, she as the same issue and worries a lot. Last few minutes, on last advice to patients...pre preparation..no edit..good ..and stress free. Thanks Dr's both
Dr Pal thank you so much it was so encouraging and a positive conversation to learn how to have a good lifestyle - once again thanks for your precious time in making this program 🙏
I was weighing 130 kgs in early 2020 and I had 1 month long periods and after than I did not got my periods for 3 months straight but later when I decided to loose my weight and made few changes after a month my periods got regular now I am at 83 kgs but doing yo yo dieting but this video is making me to be more determined and get lower than 75 kgs. Thank you Docs
@@user-wp3ne3vj8f I ate only protein and lots of vegetables 2 times a day, no sugar or carbs, Saturday I had cheat day, I ate 2 normal meals and favourite snacks on Saturday.
In the next video, can you cover questions related to acne, facial hair growth (hirsutism), methods of lowering testosterone and supplements to control the symptoms of PCOS Also, you've mentioned PCOS in the video but in the caption it says pcod which indicates that it's a disease in contrast to what the specialist said. There's also a misconception going around that pcod and pcos are different where pcod is known to have cysts in the ovaries which doesn't lead to hormonal imbalance. There's a need to bust this myth if the term pcod doesn't exist. Thank you
@DrPal for the first time enjoyed the video from a doctor. Otherwise doctors video make us more, stressful. Didn't understand tamil fully though, as I am hindi/ english person, still loved the content. Thank you.
Dr.Pal I have recently started following your videos. I appreciate your keen interest in explaining in details.Deep gratitude. This video about PCOS has disappointed me, too much of joking is going on. Seriously I wanted to understand the cause and treatment options but too much lighter vain jokes disturbing the conversation. Please do take care.
Thank you doctors for such a useful and fun-filled session❤.You both presented this important matter in a very understandable way.Thank you so much.But my request is to kindly update this session with a video on lean pcos too since all pcos patients are not obese.
Thank you Dr Pal for the awareness.Really appreciate you for your guidance in regard to various topics.I am regularly watching your RU-vid channel. Long time before I also was diagnosed with pcos because of overweight and stress .Dr advised me to diet and exercise.With regular exercise and diet I am having no problem .I was able to conceive without any treatment.The problem only arised for me when I was overweight.Now no problem due to consistent exercise.I do treadmill for 1 hour daily.I have reduced eating too many carbs.I am trying to do the 12 HR fasting window.
I will disagree with some of the points discussed in this video. I was in my idle weight. After 2 years, I started gaining weight withbthe sane kind of diet I used to have. Also, women with pcos have lower abdominal fat due to bloating which is a permanent thing. The way every women is different when it comes to experiencing periods and pregnancy, PCOS is also different in everyone. We can't say that because of being obesity, we get pcos. I can share my pics of looking underweight but having pcos. It got changed in 2 years after getting diagnosed with pcos.
I agree with you. Doctors are ignorant and blame patients for not exercising and saying it is a “Lifestyle Issue”. My weight was literally 50kg when my PCOS started. I have always been so skinny that people use to call me tiny. I got COVID and right after that I got stomach issues and I probably became insulin resistant and PCOS developed. Instead of trying to find the root cause. They blamed it on “OBESE” people. I have been diagnosed for a year now and I have gained 10 kg. Mostly around belly and also full body like double chin and all. Despite me not eating sugar and trying my best to exercise and eat healthy. They laugh about it not recognizing that PCOS patients suffer different level of fatigue which really prevents us from being able to be very active. And not matter how hard we try, if we loose at 1% rate its increasing at 10%. So its like a battle. But why do they care, Its a “DISORDER” or “SYNDROME”
Yess the Indian medical system sucks. They are so ignorant about patients mental health or other things. All they do is prescribe oc pills, hormonal pills, 100 ways to get pregnant thats it. But the major goal isn't to get pregnant. They totally ignore tge nutrition factor which is a major game changer in pcos. When i was diagnosed with pcos back in 2020, i was only 37 kgs. And that doc didn't even bothered ti discuss what actually is pcos. She just told my family that it'll lead to infertility in future. Its been 4 years since i was diagnosed, changed 2 gyanc but nothing helped. I've gained almost 20kg in 4 years. My period gets delayed to max 6 months. But the doc doesn't give a shit about it. All she does is eat hormonal pills, eat metformine and come after 3months😶🙏🏻
Hope there are more conversations on lean pcos, since there is so little literature and most pcos symptoms improve with weight loss but for lean people even that approach is not feasible
Hi Dr. Pal, I am watching your videos and learning a lot. I’m an Otolaryngologist in my late fifties , finding it very difficult to control my weight gain. Could you please have an episode on post menopausal problems?
Doctor i am 26, 5'1", 71 kilo. Already following your advices..carrying out IF strictly.. reduced from 78 to 71 in last 3 months... but i have got exactly 1.5 months to reduce to 60 kilos(11 kg loss) to donate liver to my father.. could you please make a specific healthy diet for me (which i will follow with regular exercise) so that i can reach my goal?😢
I love to see Dr Pal's videos they give practical and doable tips. But I didnot like this particular one because it was 60% jokes and fun and only 40% knowledge on PCOs. I have pcos since 15 yrs now so I basically knew everything that the Dr. Explained. No knowledge gained 😕 But love the way how Dr. Pal has fun with every other guests of his and is in jolly mood all the time ....
This is such a beautiful community! I’m 26 and have been recently diagnosed with PCOS and in a span of 2 years I became obese and have developed a moon face. What I am struggling with right now is - I don’t get my periods for about 2 days, but then when I do get them, I bleed for 1-2 months. Even my gynac hasn’t been able to tell me why - she just manages the cycle with regestrone. But I’m worried - can somebody help me out with this pls? Also, is heart burn and severe acidity effects of PCOS and how do we manage these?
I was diagnosed pcos in 2014... actually I was not overweight at all...but I have excess bleeding whenever period...the slowly my weight increased and it was very hard to reduce till now..
As a Kannadathi, Im realising how easy it is to understand Tamil to some extent, after watching this video 😂 Many words and their tones are sooo similar to Kannada
Hello doctor, thank u for the nice conversation. If a girl have irregular periods does it mean she have PCOS ? If doing abdominal scan cannot diagnose PCOS , can u please clarify us what is the right method to diagnose it , please clarify and educate us on this one
One thing i want to share is, 4 years ago, I got irregular periods and that time testosterone was high but i didn’t have PCOS yet. I was ok after that for 3 years. So yes if you have irregular periods, does not necessarily mean you have PCOS. however, if you keep on the same sugar intake and you dont manage your sugar level, it can develop PCOS. The symptoms are: High blood sugar levels (at risk or pre diabetic) High level of testosterone Irregular periods Unwanted hair growth Fat gain Fatigue, tired all the time no energy Irritated mood Sleep issues Depression Can be cyst in ovaries (i don’t have that though) But i have all other symptoms. If you have 3 of above symptoms then you can be diagnosed with pcos. My blood sugar was high at risk of diabetes and my testosterone was higher than usual too. Then other symptoms slowly started showing within 4-5 months. So blood tests are the best way to diagnose, if you have INSULIN RESISTANCE PCOS. Other type is Inflammatory. You should search types of PCOS and match if your symptoms match to one of them better. Knowing the type is the first step to working towards helping yourself reverse PCOS.
Hi DR PAL! I watch you're channel and benefit from them. However sometimes feel at a loss as I don't follow your south Indian language. Please consider...
I am confused wrt the point where Dr. Ramya mentioned each diagnosis of PCOS should be individualized and one should know the body but also went to say 1hr walking is waste of time. Some people with PCOS have lower back pain etc (i am one of them and confirmed by doctor) and i was initially asked to keep hold on things and start with walking (not to ignore weight training, but postpone). Can you please clarify.
I am at similar place.. have had spinal surgery … I resort to walking as well … Please do walking… we are all not a level playing field… for us it will take longer to reduce weight … Standing exercise similar to high knees can be done to add to walking … only thing it is going to take time but its still better off
hiii ‼️‼️‼️dr pal sir, am from karanataka ,u r way of explaining is truly natural💯💯💯,sir i hav 0:03 e pcos , I don't have any hormonal imbalance or thyroid or overweight but it's not cure, i have irregular periods,i have been starting healthy lifestyle since 2022 ,what can i do sir ,am 25, please reply sir am waiting for ur response 🙏🙏🙏🙏
My daughter has a pcod and she took treatment for a few months She was fine at present and she getting her cycle every week continuously bleeding 1 or two days stops again she starts bleeding kindly advise
Dr. Pal that's way too much of laughter. It's very distracting when I'm trying to get some useful info. You can refrain from cracking jokes and laughing that loud when you bring in another specialist to share some knowledge.
Dr Pal, I really love your videos. But as a person with lean PCOS, I am a bit disappointed with this video. Please bring better people or give us your opinion. Thanks! (Writing this from my husband's account, thanks)
Yeah its a “DISORDER” for them. And they are literally laughing at people who have PCOS. Ignoring the symptoms like depression fatigue and sleep issues. There is a reason we are not able to workout like a normal person. 🥲
