Balancing Doshas

In Ayurveda, health is seen as a balance between the three fundamental energies, known as doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Each person has a unique combination of these doshas, and when they are in balance, the body, mind, and spirit are healthy. However, when one or more doshas become imbalanced, it can lead to physical, emotional, or mental health issues.

Understanding PCOD

Polycystic Ovary Disease (PCOD), also known as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), is a common hormonal disorder that affects women, particularly during their reproductive years. PCOD is a condition where a woman’s ovaries become enlarged and contain numerous small cysts (fluid-filled sacs). The word “polycystic” means many cysts, but not all women with PCOD have cysts, and it is important to note that the cysts are not harmful.

Menstrual Irregularities

Menstrual irregularities refer to any disruption or abnormality in the regularity, length, or flow of a woman's menstrual cycle. The menstrual cycle is typically around 28 days, though it can vary from person to person. An irregularity can involve cycles that are too long (longer than 35 days), too short (less than 21 days), skipped periods, heavy bleeding, or missed periods.

(Frequently Asked Questions)
What is PCOD?

Polycystic Ovary Disease (PCOD) is a hormonal disorder where the ovaries produce an excess of androgens (male hormones), causing irregular menstrual cycles, cysts on the ovaries, and symptoms like acne, excessive hair growth, and infertility.

What are the common symptoms of PCOD?

Common symptoms of PCOD include irregular periods, weight gain, acne, excessive hair growth (hirsutism), thinning hair, and difficulty in getting pregnant due to anovulation (lack of ovulation).

Can PCOD be cured?
There is no cure for PCOD, but it can be managed through lifestyle changes, medications (like hormonal contraceptives, metformin, or ovulation-stimulating drugs), and herbal treatments. Early diagnosis and treatment can help manage symptoms and reduce long-term risks.
How does PCOD affect fertility?

PCOD can affect fertility by causing irregular or absent ovulation, making it more difficult to conceive. However, with treatment options such as ovulation-inducing medications or assisted reproductive technologies (ART), many women with PCOD can successfully become pregnant.

What are the long-term health risks of PCOD?
If left untreated, PCOD can increase the risk of developing long-term health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and endometrial cancer. Managing PCOD through lifestyle changes and medical treatment can help reduce these risks.
