Every measure was taken to optimise conditions for normal delivery, with the final caesarean (required for medical reasons) resulting in a rapid recovery, with the patient walking the very next day post-operatively.
A patient with severe adolescent PCOS and secondary amenorrhoea was managed comprehensively under Dr. Vandana's hormonal and lifestyle protocol — achieving regulated menstrual cycles within three months and significant improvement in associated symptoms including acne, reflecting her expertise in adolescent gynaecological health management.
