What is PCOS and PCOD?

Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) is a common hormonal disorder among women of reproductive age whose ovaries produce multiple eggs. Over time, those eggs become cysts on the ovaries. Many women undergo hormonal medication that causes unusual side effects. Also, too much consumption of insulin with high levels of the luteinizing hormone can also lead to increased production of the male hormone, which is known as testosterone, in women’s ovaries. This reduces the chances of conceiving and leads to infertility. A healthy lifestyle, natural therapies, as well as Ayurveda, can help you prevent such diseases.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder that is common in women of reproductive age. Women with PCOS face prolonged and infrequent menstrual periods and excess production of male hormones, which is an androgen. In this case, the ovaries develop a number of small fluids (follicles) that reduce the ability of women to produce quality of eggs. You must go for home remedies and Ayurveda treatments for PCOS/PCOD as natural therapies and those home remedies can enable protection from such diseases.
