PCOS/PCOD Issues

Polycystic ovary is an endocrine and reproductive disorder, defined by high level of androgen testosterone (male sex hormones) & Insulin levels which interferes with the growth & release of eggs from the ovaries. It may lead to no ovulation and/or irregular menstrual cycle that effects fertility. The condition can be genetic and gets aggravated by lifestyle issues that precipitate Insulin resistance and weight gain. Lifestyle modification along with medical management is required to treat the known cause, by focusing on diet and regular physical activity that ensures better hormonal regulation & weight loss, thus breaking the vicious cycle and preparing the uterus to conceive.
