What is PCOD / PCOS?

Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD), also known as Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), is a hormonal disorder affecting 5–10% of women of reproductive age. It can cause irregular periods, weight gain, acne, excess hair growth, and infertility due to ovulation problems. The main cause is increased androgen (male hormone) levels, which affect hormonal balance. Lifestyle stress, obesity, and physical inactivity can worsen symptoms, while emotional stress often accompanies the condition.

Understanding PCOD early helps in better management. Regular check-ups, healthy diet, exercise, and lifestyle modifications can reduce symptoms and improve fertility outcomes. Awareness among young girls and women is essential to detect hormonal imbalances before complications arise.

Treatment often includes medications to regulate menstrual cycles, reduce androgen levels, and improve ovulation. Emotional support and counseling are also important for holistic care.
