What is PCOD/PCOS?
Polycystic Ovarian Disease is a common female endocrine disorder affecting approximately 30% of women as it is found in reproductive age that is 20- 35, and now a days it is a leading cause of female infertility. It is considered as a lifestyle changing disease because in today’s life people are busy in their work schedule and they do not have any time to take care of their diet and body. It affects women particularly ovaries, where egg is released hence affects ovulation. Follicle Stimulating Hormone(FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH) are produced by pituitary gland where FSH stimulate ovaries to produce follicle and LH trigger ovaries to release mature egg. In Polycystic Ovarian Disease many fluid filled sacs grow inside the ovaries and cause cyst there. These cysts are follicles with immature egg. Eggs in PCOD never mature enough to trigger ovulation.
Even male hormone i.e. androgen get secreted excess in women with PCOD, which also disrupt menstrual cycle. PCOD affects females mentally and physically. These are some features which develop like cyst in ovaries, high levels of male hormone, irregular or skipped periods. PCOD Ayurvedic treatment is safe and effective.
