Ayurvedic Treatment for PCOD PCOS

PCOD/PCOS

Women’s ovaries, the reproductive organs that generate progesterone and oestrogen hormones that help in regulating the menstrual cycle as well as minor amounts of the hormones inhibin, relaxin, and male hormones known as androgens, are affected by PCOD or PCOS.

Nearly 10% of women worldwide experience PCOD. those with PCOS create more male hormones than usual compared to those with PCOD. They skip their menstrual cycles as a result of this hormonal imbalance, which also makes it more difficult for women to conceive.

What Is PCOD Problem?

Polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD) is its official medical name.

PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease) is a medical disorder in which a woman’s ovaries frequently generate immature or partially mature eggs, which eventually develop into ovarian cysts.

As a result, the ovaries enlarge and release a lot of androgens, which can lead to infertility, irregular menstruation periods, hair loss, and unnatural weight gain. Dietary changes and lifestyle adjustments can help with PCOD management.

WHAT IS PCOS?

The medical term for PCOS is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.

PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) is a metabolic illness that affects women during their reproductive years (between ages 12 and 51) due to hormonal imbalance.

Increased levels of male hormones can cause women to skip menstrual cycles, have irregular ovulation that makes it difficult to get pregnant, and experience abnormal hair growth on their bodies and faces at the same time.

Over time, this can result in diabetes and heart disease. PCOS is a significant medical issue that needs to be treated surgically or with the appropriate medical care.

Causes Of PCOS

Although the exact cause of PCOS in women is unknown, the following are some key contributing factors:

  • Increased androgen production (a male hormone that females produce very little of) can interfere with ovulation when there is an excess of insulin in the body.
  • Abnormally high levels of androgen hormones are produced by the ovaries, which can cause acne and hirsutism (excessive body and facial hair development).
  • Low-grade inflammation: According to a new study, women with PCOS experience low-grade inflammation, which increases androgen production and may result in problems with the heart or blood vessels.
  • Heredity: There is a genetic association with PCOS in women.

PCOS Prevalence In India

The prevalence rate of PCOS is high among Indian women. The pooled prevalence of PCOS was close to 10% using Rotterdam’s criteria and AES criteria, while it was 5.8% using NIH criteria. The study’s overall finding emphasizes the need for more acceptable and uniform diagnostic criteria for screening PCOS.

PCOS affects women of reproductive age (12-51 years). Worldwide, it affects 4%–20% (8-40 crore) of women.

In India, it affects 3.7% to 22.5% (1.3-7.9 crore) of women.
