According to various research and studies, it is said that 20% of Indian women suffer from PCOD or Polycystic Ovarian Disease. That means every one out of five women suffers from PCOD across the globe. Women diagnosed with PCOS produce elevated levels of male hormones compared to those with PCOD. This hormonal imbalance leads to irregular menstrual cycles and reduced fertility. Additionally, PCOS can result in conditions such as diabetes, infertility, acne, and excessive hair growth due to its unpredictable hormonal effects. In this article lets us understand PCOD symptoms and Treatment and Causes.
PCOD stands for Polycystic Ovarian Disease, a medical condition wherein, the women’s ovaries generate premature eggs. The eggs further develop themselves into cysts. An important thing to note here is that the increase in the male hormone (androgen) results in the creation of follicular cysts. This causes an irregular release of the eggs in the ovaries.
