Asking because someone close to me was recently diagnosed and the experience was frustrating to watch. Five minutes with a doctor, a metformin prescription, and basically sent home to figure it out alone.

I started looking into it and realised how little actually exists for Indian women specifically. Every resource assumes Western food, Western lifestyle, a doctor who has time to explain things.

So I'm just trying to understand the real experience before doing anything with it.

Or just comment. What frustrated you most about managing PCOS in India? I'll read everything.

Someone close to me was recently diagnosed and I'm trying to understand what it's really like. The doctor gave her 5 minutes, a prescription, and that was it.

Everything I find online assumes she lives alone, cooks Western food, and has a gym membership. None of that is her life.

How do you actually manage it? What works, what doesn't, what do you wish someone had told you earlier?

Genuinely just trying to understand — not selling anything, not researching for anything. Just want to hear real experiences.

Hey,

I'm trying to understand what it's actually like to manage PCOS in India before potentially building something. Not pitching an app, not selling anything — genuinely just trying to understand the problem first.

Most PCOS advice online assumes you live alone, cook Western food, and have a gym membership. That's not most of us.

If you have 3 minutes, I put together 7 questions — completely anonymous, no email required -putting the form link in comments

Honestly even just commenting what frustrates you most about managing PCOS in India would help. Appreciate it either way.

I am trying to understand the waste management space in India, specifically Mumbai for now - pain points, possible solutions and hinderances. Looking to go on-ground and talk to municipal corporations, society heads, ragpickers and all - Anyone interested ? Please reach out to me in DMs
