Understanding PCOD from an Ayurvedic Perspective

Understanding PCOD from an Ayurvedic Perspective 

PCOD, or polycystic ovary syndrome, is a disorder that affects women's ovaries, which generate progesterone and estrogen hormones that help regulate the menstrual cycle, Minor levels of inhibin, relaxin, and androgens, male hormones, are also present.

Almost 10% of women worldwide suffer from PCOD. Women with PCOS create more masculine hormones than usual. This hormonal imbalance causes them to skip menstrual periods, making it difficult for them to become pregnant.

Aside from unexpected hormonal behavior, this illness can cause

·       Diabetes

·       Infertility

·       Acne

·       Excessive hair growth

It's a rather prevalent condition with no known cure.

What is PCOD Problem?

The medical term for PCOD is Polycystic Ovarian Disease.

PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease) is a medical disorder in which a woman's ovaries generate a significant number of immature or partially mature eggs, which eventually develop into ovarian cysts. As a result, the ovaries grow in size and generate a huge amount of male hormones (androgens), which causes infertility, irregular menstruation periods, hair loss, and abnormal weight gain. PCOD can be managed with food and lifestyle changes.

The prevalence of PCOD in India:

Only a few researchers participated in this study, which looked at the prevalence of polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD) in various regions of India. According to little information, the incidence of PCOD in India ranges from 3.7% to 22.5%. It is difficult to estimate the prevalence of PCOD in India due to a lack of statistics and differences among areas.

What are the most prevalent indications and symptoms of PCOD?

Some women notice symptoms around the time of their first period, while others don't until they've gained a lot of weight or are having problems getting pregnant. The most prevalent signs and symptoms of PCOD Problem in women are:

·       Irregular menstruation (Oligomenorrhea)

·       Skipped or absence of menstruation (Amenorrhea)

·       Heavy menstrual bleeding (Menorrhagia)

• ·      Excessive hair growth on the face, back, stomach, and chest.

·       Acne (face, chest, and upper back)

·       Weight gain

·       Scalp hair loss (thinning and falling off).

·      Darkening of skin on the neck, groin, and under breasts.

PCOD Causes:

Exactly how women are impacted by PCOD is unknown, but here are several major factors:

• Excess insulin might lead to increased testosterone production, which can hinder ovulation.

• Excess androgen production in the ovaries can cause acne and hirsutism.

• A recent study found that females with PCOD experience low-grade inflammation, which leads to increased androgen production and potential issues with blood vessels and the heart.

• Women with PCOS have a hereditary link.
