Ayurvedic treatment for PCOS

Polycystic ovary syndrome (or polycystic ovarian syndrome – PCOS) is a complex hormonal condition. ‘Polycystic’ literally translates as ‘many cysts. This really refers to there being many partially formed follicles on the ovaries, which each contain an egg. These rarely grow to maturity or produce eggs that can be fertilised.

The allopathic approach to this medical condition concentrates on superficially removing the problem rather than addressing the sickness at its source. The poor lifestyle adopted by today’s youth is thought to be the primary cause of PCOS. The problem is triggered by a hormonal imbalance caused by lack of physical activity, which results in numerous cysts.

Ayurveda takes a holistic approach, when it comes to addressing PCOS. The goal of personalised treatment is to go to the base of the problem and restore body equilibrium.

 

 

SYMPTOMS OF PCOS

PCOS has become more common as a result of poor dietary habits and a sedentary lifestyle. The following are the most common PCOS side effects:

Irregular menstruation refers to irregular periods, such as missing period dates by a few days or going months without a period. During their periods, some individuals endure excessive bleeding.

Hair growth on the face, arms, chest, and abdomen (hirsutism) is reported in over 70% of women with PCOS.

Acne Issue should ideally disappear once adolescence is passed. Acne can occur in patients with PCOS, particularly on the back, chest, and face.

Increased Body Weight: One of the most common side effects of PCOS is becoming overweight or obese. Worst of all, losing weight is more difficult than gaining it.

Acanthosis Nigricans is a dark discoloration in body folds and creases, particularly in the folds of the neck, armpits, under the breasts, and genital. It is frequently observed in PCOS patients.

Multiple Cysts: Cysts are little pockets of fluid that grow in the ovaries and are not eliminated during the menstrual cycle. They form a chain and stay in the uterus for long periods of time.

 PCOS patients may notice thinning hairlines and reduced hair volume. Some people even have hair loss in sections, resulting in bald regions.

Infertility is defined as a decline in the frequency or quality of conception
