PCOS: A CALL FOR HEALTH AWARENESS Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, or PCOS, is a medical condition that affects millions of women worldwide. It's a hormonal disorder that tends to affect women during their reproductive age. It is a condition in which ovaries produce an abnormal amount of androgens, male hormones that are usually present in women in small amounts. The abnormal production of these hormones can lead to a variety of symptoms and health issues, which we will discuss more thoroughly in this article. Symptoms of PCOS PCOS symptoms can vary from one woman to another. However, there are some common signs and symptoms to look out for: Irregular periods: This is one of the most common symptoms of PCOS. Some women may have fewer than nine periods a year, some may have none, while others may have very heavy periods. Excess hair growth: Due to the increased production of male hormones, women with PCOS often experience excessive hair growth on the face and body. Weight gain: Many women with PCOS struggle with weight issues and have a harder time losing weight compared to women without the condition. Hair loss: While some women experience excess hair growth, others may suffer from hair loss or thinning hair, similar to male-pattern baldness. Oily skin or acne: The male hormones can make the skin oilier than usual and can lead to breakouts. Treatment Options for PCOS While there is no cure for PCOS, there are several treatment options that can help manage the symptoms and improve the overall quality of life: Ayurvedic Medications: Based on individual Dosha and Prakriti, Ayurvedic medications can help balance the hormones and manage symptoms. Changes in Diet and Lifestyle: A healthy diet and regular exercise can help manage PCOS symptoms and promote weight loss. Yoga & Pranayama: Practices like yoga and pranayama can help reduce stress and balance hormones, aiding in the management of PCOS symptoms.
