PCOS/PCOS
Polycystic Ovarian Disease, a medical condition wherein, the women’s ovaries generate premature eggs. The eggs further develop themselves into cysts. In this condition, the ovaries produce an excess amount of male hormones called androgens which hamper the normal functioning of reproductive hormones. This results in irregular menstrual cycles, the presence of multiple cysts on the ovaries.
The most common signs and symptoms of PCOD Problem or PCOS in females are:
*Irregular menstruation
*Heavy menstrual bleeding
*Excessive Hair growth (face, body – including on back, belly, and chest)
*Acne (face, chest, and upper back)
*Weight gain
*Hair loss (hair on the scalp gets thinner and fall out)
*Skin darkening (Neck, in the groin, and under the breasts)
Ayurveda considers this condition as a result of deranged Vata and Kapha Dosha predominantly, resulting in an inflammatory swelling called ‘Granthi’. Early diagnosis and Ayurveda treatment helps to reduce the risk of long-term complications,such as infertility.
