Your hormones have been talking. Let's decode what they're saying.
Make sense of your symptoms and keep a record that lasts, so your next appointment starts where the last one ended.
For women with PMOS, Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome, renamed from PCOS in 2026. For thyroid conditions, and everything that comes after.
Free, nothing to sign up for.

Hormonal health isn't one appointment. It's thirty years of them.
Anayah is being built to go the whole way with you. From the first time something feels off, through the diagnosis, the years of managing it, the fertility questions, the perimenopause nobody warned you about.
We want to help you understand what's happening with your body, ask better questions, and never need to start from scratch again.
A note from the founder
I started Anayah after my own diagnosis with PMOS. Unexplained weight gain, acne, hair thinning, and eventually a name for it.
Getting the diagnosis turned out to be only half of it. PMOS is managed through lifestyle rather than medication, there is no cure, and it carries real risks later on. Nobody handed me a map for any of that.
Anayah is what I wish I'd had. Somewhere to understand what's happening, ask better questions, and not feel like you're working it out alone.
Nyssa Desai, building Anayah
This isn't rare. It's just rarely explained.
40%
of apparently healthy Indian women aged 18 to 40 are obese by India-specific BMI criteria, compared with 8.1% by WHO thresholds
Only 34%
were satisfied with how they were diagnosed
50%
of the most-watched PCOS content online was false or misleading, when the BBC investigated
What Anayah is
Hormonal conditions outlast any one doctor, and run wider than any one specialty. At anayah, we're trying to hold the thread across all of it.
- Here now. Guides that explain what's going on, and appointment prep questions sorted by where you are.
- What we're building. A record of your history that you own: what was tested, what you were told, and what you tried. And care that works from it, because one condition runs through your cycle, your weight, your skin, your mood and your fertility, with each piece currently sitting with someone who cannot see the rest.
PMOS, thyroid conditions, endometriosis. None of them have a cure. They're managed, often for life. We want to help you do that, and to find real answers sooner.
Questions people ask
Is this an app?
No, it's just a website. Nothing to download. Open it in your phone's browser and it works.
Is it free?
The guides and the appointment prep questions are free, and they'll stay that way.
Do I have to sign up for anything?
No. Nothing here asks you to make an account. The appointment prep questions don't need an email and don't save anything. The waitlist is there if you'd like to know when we launch, and that's the only place we ask you for anything.
Is this medical advice?
No, and it isn't trying to be. Anayah doesn't interpret your symptoms or your results, and it won't suggest a test or a treatment. What it can do is help you ask better questions of a doctor who can.
Where do these numbers come from?
Every number here comes from a study, and we link to it so you can read it yourself. Some research is stronger than other research, so we say when a figure is shakier than it looks, or when the studies disagree with each other. If we get something wrong, we fix it.
Why is it built for Indian women specifically?
Because the numbers are genuinely different here, and that changes what your result means. Obesity is measured from a BMI of 25 in India rather than 30. The ICMR study puts the top of the normal thyroid range for Indian women at 4.16, where common Western ranges go up to 4.5. So a woman at 4.3 is flagged by one and cleared by the other, on the same blood.
What happens to my data?
The appointment prep questions don't store anything. There's nothing to fill in, nothing is saved, and nothing is sent anywhere. If you join the waitlist we keep your email and your optional answer, and that's all.
Want to know when it's ready?
Tell us where you are and we'll come back to you before we build it. One email when there's something worth your time, and nothing else.
