Experts Highlight Delayed Diagnosis and Prevalence of PCOS and Thyroid Disorders in India
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and thyroid disorders are common yet often underdiagnosed among Indian women, with symptoms frequently labeled as 'hormonal imbalance.' Studies indicate PCOS prevalence ranges from 3% to nearly 18% among adolescents, while hypothyroidism affects about 11% of adults, with many cases undetected. Experts highlight delayed diagnosis and stigma as challenges, emphasizing the need for clearer definitions and awareness. Additionally, regular menstrual cycles do not always rule out PCOS, which carries hidden health risks requiring attention.
