Medical History of Sejal

This patient was struggling with complex reproductive problems. This includes PCOD with an initially high AMH (Anti Mullerian Hormone). The AMH was then reduced to to 0.67 gradually. Another thing she was facing was an intramural fibroid (FIGO type 1), adenomyosis, and low prolactin levels. 

The sad thing was there was already one miscarriage happened to patient. Due to that, she was having low ovarian reserve and reduced ovarian volume. These things have significantly affected her chances of fertility.  

Despite of all these medical problems, she came to Dt. Foram Modi, one of the top fertility dietitian in Mumbai. She was determined to improve her health naturally. And this is where our signature anti-inflammatory diet plan began to make a difference in her health conditions. 

Below are quick notes taken by Dietitian Foram Modi during the initial diet consultation with the client.

  • Medical History: PCOD, initially high AMH → later reduced to 0.67, intramural fibroid (FIGO type 1), adenomyosis, low prolactin (April 2024)
  • Reproductive History: One miscarriage, low ovarian reserve, reduced ovarian volume

What Else We Noted in First Consultation Meeting?

The client first came to our dietitian clinic in Borivali, late around in September 2021. At that time, she was facing deep emotional stress as she had just lost her father. She was already having classic PCOD symptoms like bloating and irregular cycles. 

Her starting weight was 68.5 kg. And over the next three years, her journey became more challenging. More weight fluctuations started to occur because of stress and social events. The PCOD symptoms have aggravated after the marriage. 

And hence the weight risen to 74 kg. All these issues leads to problems in fertility. She had to undergo one fibroid surgery in September 2023. And she was advised to go with IVF option. But, she chose our natural way of improving the chances of fertility i.e. the right diet and nutrition therapy for fertility.

Now, as we have understood her story, her medication journey, her health concerns and full history. We have to prepare an approach which targets the root causes of hormonal imbalance. 

This was achievable by reducing chronic inflammation, improving insulin sensitivity, supporting liver detoxification and gut repair. We also need to focus on enhancing egg quality and uterine lining health. 

We crafted a customized Indian anti inflammatory diet plan for PCOD and Fertility which includes primarily whole foods, balanced macros, and phase-wise nutrition. 

We knew this Anti inflammatory diet will help to create the ideal internal environment for hormonal healing, cycle regulation, and natural conception.

So, ultimately we put her on Signature Anti-Inflammatory, Hormone-Balance Diet, which focuses on:

  • Reducing systemic inflammation (often the root cause of PCOD & fertility issues)
  • Improving insulin sensitivity
  • Supporting liver detoxification & gut health
  • Boosting egg quality & uterine lining health
  • Cycle-synced nutrition (different nutrient focus for follicular & luteal phases)
  • Stress management and sleep hygiene
  • Gradual weight loss & hormonal regulation
