Lifestyle Modification PCOS

Meaning

Lifestyle modification for PCOS represents the foundational, non-pharmacological therapeutic approach involving structured, sustained changes to diet, physical activity levels, and key behavioral habits. This intervention aims to directly address the core metabolic and hormonal abnormalities of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, particularly chronic insulin resistance and obesity, which often precede and significantly exacerbate the syndrome’s clinical features. It is consistently the first-line treatment recommended by all major clinical guidelines due to its broad-ranging efficacy and safety profile.
