Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

The term ‘Poly- cyst’ means many cysts. It is a syndrome affecting the ovaries and ovulation in females. PCOS is an underlying group of signs caused due to sedentary lifestyle hence found commonly in today’s female population. It is mostly seen in women of child bearing age, it affects females at a young age but symptoms start showing gradually at a later stage (generally mid 20s).

Under this syndrome, widely two issues exist. One, excess androgens (male hormones) are produced in the body, two, small cysts are formed in the ovaries. Excess androgens leads to male like developments in the female body like growth of thick facial hair. While, formation of cysts in the ovaries interfere with ovulation in women. It becomes a barrier in fertilizing eggs for reproduction leading to bareness in women. It is thus a result of low level of FSH, LH, estrogen and progesterone hormones and increased level of Androgenic hormones.

The main triggering factors are the lack of exercise, stress and improper food habits. Most common symptoms are severe hair fall, unnatural hair growth on face, nipples and other parts of the body, scanty menstrual cycle or no menstruation at all.

The English system of medicine provides for alteration in hormones through medicines which is an extreme risk and causes unwanted side effects. However, Ayurveda provides for a natural cure for the problem.
