PCOS/PCOD Treatment

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), also known as Polycystic Ovarian Disorder (PCOD) is a hormonal disorder affecting 5% to 10% of women in the age group 12–45 years. In Ayurveda, PCOS comes under Yoni Vyapath.
It’s often characterized by excess androgen (male hormone levels) and menstrual periods that are either infrequent or longer than typical cycle length. With PCOS, ovaries may develop follicles, which are little collections of liquid, and they may fail to routinely release eggs.
Causes for PCOD
Heredity: Research suggests that certain genes might be linked to PCOS.
Excess androgen: The ovaries produce abnormally high levels of androgen, resulting in excess hair growth and acne.
Excess insulin: Insulin is the hormone produced in the pancreas that allows cells to use sugar, your body’s primary energy supply. If your cells become resistant to the action of insulin, then your blood sugar levels can rise and your body might produce more insulin. Excess insulin might increase androgen production, causing difficulty with ovulation.
Low-grade inflammation: This term is used to describe white blood cells’ production of substances to fight infection. Research has shown that women with PCOS have a type of low-grade inflammation that stimulates polycystic ovaries to produce androgens, which can lead to heart and blood vessel problems.
Signs and symptoms of PCOS vary. A diagnosis of PCOS is made when you experience at least two of these signs:
- Irregular periods: Infrequent, irregular or prolonged menstrual cycles are the most common sign of PCOS.
- Excess androgen: Elevated levels of male hormones may result in physical signs, such as excess facial and body hair (hirsutism), and occasionally severe acne and male-pattern baldness.
- Polycystic ovaries: Your ovaries might be enlarged and contain follicles that surround the eggs. As a result, the ovaries might fail to function regularly.
- Subfertility: When you’re trying to get pregnant but experience a delay in conceiving.
- Obesity: A disorder involving excessive body fat that increases the risk of health problems.
- Mood Swings: An abrupt change in mood or emotional state.
- Hair loss: Scalp hair falls out without new hair growth.
- Hirsutism: Excessive facial or body hair growth
- Acne: Commonly known as pimples, it is a skin condition that occurs when hair follicles plug with oil and dead skin cells.
