PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) is a combined metabolic and hormonal disorder found in women. Incidences of PCOS appear to be rising and it is now being diagnosed more often.
Here are 5 facts to know about PCOS, which will help you in clarifying your doubts. The source of information is highly reliable as information is reviewed by doctors.
PCOS or Polycystic ovary syndrome is a hormonal disorder that occurs in women. Women also produce some male hormones called androgen. In cases where this hormone is secreted in higher levels, it disrupts or prevents periods in women leading to fertility problems, depression, etc. Sometimes, one may not realize that one is suffering from PCOS. PCOS can be of many types depending on its cause but is generally termed as PCOS. Lean PCOS is a type of PCOS were women suffering from PCOS are lean or normal weight.
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a health problem that affects 1 in 10 woman of child bearing age. Woman with PCOS have a hormonal imbalance and metabolic problem that may affect their overall health and appearance. PCOS is a common and treatable cause of infertility. The hormonal imbalance creates problems in the ovaries. The ovaries form multiple fluid filled sacs called follicles in its outer edge which fail to mature and ovulate. The egg may not develop as it should or it may not be released during ovulation as it should be.
PCOD stands for Polycystic Ovary Disease and PCOS stands for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. Both the terms indicate a common hormonal disorder resulting in chronic anovulation in women when irregular menstrual cycle with increased male hormones are present in their body during their reproductive age.

The document discusses various spinal decompression procedures including diskectomy, laminectomy, and foraminotomy. Diskectomy involves removing a portion of a herniated disc to relieve nerve compression. Laminectomy and laminotomy remove part of the lamina bone to widen the spinal canal to relieve pressure on nerves. Foraminotomy enlarges the openings where nerves exit the spine. These procedures provide relief from pain caused by damaged vertebrae or discs pressing on spinal nerves.
Bronchoscopy and pleuroscopy are minimally invasive endoscopic procedures used to diagnose and treat lung diseases. Bronchoscopy involves inserting a thin, lighted tube with a camera through the mouth or nose into the lungs, while pleuroscopy accesses the pleural space between the lungs through a small incision in the chest. Both procedures allow doctors to directly examine the lungs and collect samples, and have benefits of providing quick results without the need for surgical cuts or long hospital stays.
Retroperitoneoscopic surgery (RPS) is a minimally invasive procedure performed through small incisions in the back to access the kidney, adrenals, and ureter for conditions like removing kidney stones or repairing abnormalities. Common RPS procedures include nephrectomies, adrenalectomies, and repairing ureteral obstructions. RPS provides direct access to organs without touching the bowel, allowing for early access to blood vessels and an easy approach to the renal hilum. The benefits of RPS include it being safe, causing less pain, and resulting in quicker recovery times and shorter hospital stays compared to open surgery.

Pacemaker | Implantable Cardiac Devices For Heart FailuresYashodaHospitals
Implantable cardiac devices are electronic, battery-operated medical devices that are implanted to restore the heart's normal rhythm and prevent sudden cardiac death. Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, Pacemaker and LAVD are such devices that help to maintain rhythm and pumping. A pacemaker is a small implantable cardiac device that is placed under the skin in the chest to help control the heartbeat, improve quality of life and for longevity. It is used to help the heart beat more regularly for irregular heartbeat also known as arrhythmia.
What does it help with?
Pacemaker helps in controlling the rhythm and of the heart by either:
Resynchronizing the rhythm
Correcting the rhythm
Facilitating adequate circulation to support a failing heart
Mechanical thrombectomy is a minimally invasive procedure to remove blood clots from large brain vessels. It involves inserting a catheter through a small groin incision and using stent-like devices to remove clots causing acute ischemic strokes from large artery occlusion. It can benefit patients who are not candidates for or failed intravenous thrombolysis, especially if performed within 24 hours of symptom onset. Recovery depends on patient factors but may take weeks, with potential for improved outcomes over intravenous thrombolysis alone.
Breast Conserving Surgery in Hyderabad | Breast Cancer Treatment in HyderabadYashodaHospitals
Breast-conserving Surgery is also known as lumpectomy or partial lumpectomy, it is a procedure to remove the cancer from the breast and some normal tissue. BCS involves only the part of the breast that has cancer to be removed. BCS is a good option for many women with early-stage cancers. Usually after BCS, radiation therapy is given to destroy cancer cells that may not have been removed during surgery. In some cases, chemotherapy and radiation are both given after BCS.
Who is BCS recommended for?
Not all women with breast cancer are candidates for BCS. However, speak to a doctor to find out whether BCS is an option for you.
BCS might be a good option for the below reason:
1. If the tumor is small and localized.
2. If you are eligible for radiation therapy
3. Do not have inflammatory breast cancer
4. Are not pregnant or, if pregnant, will not need radiation therapy immediately.
5. Do not have a mutation linked to breast cancer.
6. Do not have serious connective tissue diseases such as scleroderma or lupus.
TAVR is a minimally invasive procedure to replace a severely stenotic aortic valve. The aortic valve regulates blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta. Aortic valve stenosis occurs when the valve thickens and narrows, reducing blood flow. TAVR can treat aortic stenosis in patients at high risk for open heart surgery or those whose artificial valves have failed. During TAVR, a catheter is used to guide a replacement valve through the body to the heart, where it is deployed to replace the diseased valve. TAVR allows for quicker recovery and shorter hospital stays than open heart surgery.
Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) | Treatment For Achalasia of Esophagus and ...YashodaHospitals
POEM is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a high definition endoscope (a flexible tube with a mounted camera at end) to help treat certain swallowing disorders and stands for Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy.

1. Disorders of coagulation
2. History of any kind of therapy that is likely to compromise the integrity of the mucosa of the esophagus or lead to fibrosis of the submucosa for e.g. radiation for cancer treatment, endoscopic mucosal resection, or radiofrequency ablation
3. Liver cirrhosis with portal hypertension
4. Severe erosive esophagitis
When should it be done?
POEM is generally indicated for treating the following disease:
1. Achalasia: It is a medical condition that affects the muscles of the esophagus. The lower esophageal sphincter (LES), a muscular valve present between the esophagus and the stomach fails to relax during swallowing in this condition.
2. Diffuse esophageal spasm: Esophageal disorders of muscle spasm that are unresponsive to medical therapies

Robotic surgeries: Procedures, Advantages and RisksYashodaHospitals
Over 3 million patients have undergone robotic surgery since 2000. Robotic surgery allows surgeons to perform minimally invasive procedures through small incisions using a robotic system that has 3D imaging and wrist-like joints, giving surgeons improved access and control. While the surgeon controls the robotic arms, benefits of robotic surgery include less pain, smaller incisions, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery times compared to traditional open or laparoscopic surgeries. The doctor determines if a patient is eligible for robotic surgery based on their individual procedure and medical needs.
