What is PCOD/PCOS and its Symptoms? PCOD or Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) occurs not just in women, but in girls as young as 11! Polycystic ovaries are generally larger in size and denser than the normal ovaries. It usually occurs when the sex hormones go out of balance and the body starts producing more male hormones resulting in the onset of several symptoms. Symptoms It is a condition where the ovaries stop working normally and the hormones get out of balance, leading to one or more symptoms— Irregular periods Reduced fertility Abnormal weight gain or obesity Heart (cardiac) complications Acne or skin rashes Abnormal hair growth or hair loss Know more about the PCOS symptoms Causes The cause is not clearly known, but it is thought to be hereditary and hormonal changes are also known to play a significant role. Excess weight complicates the problem. Studies done globally show that 50% of women with PCOD are overweight. Treatment One of the main problems is a hormonal imbalance in a woman’s body. Hormones affect the entire body, so this is what needs to be addressed first to gradually bring the body back to its natural state of balance. Once the hormones are regulated and stabilised, most of the associated health issues naturally subside.
