What is PCOD?
PCOD (PolyCystic Ovarian Disorder) is a condition characterized by formation of multiple cysts in the ovaries, due to the production of a significant number of immature or partially mature eggs.
As a result, the ovaries grow in size and generate an enormous quantity of male hormones (androgens), which causes infertility, irregular periods, hair loss, and abnormal weight gain. PCOD can be managed with diet and lifestyle changes
What are the Symptoms of PCOD?
- Menstrual Abnormalities: Irregular or heavy periods, amenorrhea (absence of periods), Oligomenorrhoea, Excessive bleeding.
- Fertility Issues: Infertility
- Hirsutism: Excessive hair growth on the face, chest, or back.
- Skin issues: Acne and pigmentation (acanthosis nigricans).
- Weight gain: Particularly central obesity.
- Infertility: Difficulty conceiving due to anovulation.
- Mood swings: Anxiety, depression, and irritability.
- Fatigue: Persistent low energy levels.
- Night sweats: Common during hormonal fluctuations.
Causes of PCOD
- Excess androgens and disrupted insulin levels.
- Sedentary lifestyle, poor diet, and chronic stress.
- Family history of PCOD or diabetes.
- Exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals.
What is Ayurvedic Concept on POCD?
Ayurveda views PCOD as a disorder caused by imbalance in kapha dosha and metabolic fire (agni), leading to sluggish metabolism and toxin accumulation. Kapha is present in the chest region; it keeps the body stable and strong, through hydration and lubrication. In moderation, kapha represents a state of anabolism. If unregulated, however, it may lead to “maladaptive anabolism” as in polycystic ovary syndrome.
This impaired metabolic fire results in toxin accumulation, leading to disrupted functioning of reproductive and endocrine systems, exacerbating the symptoms
Risk factors
- Primarily affects women in their reproductive years.
- Obesity
- Low quality sleep
- High stress levels
- Family history of reproductive disorders or hormonal imbalance
When to See a Doctor?
It’s essential to seek medical advice if you experience:
- Persistent abnormalities in the menstrual cycle.
- Difficulty conceiving despite regular attempts.
- Rapid weight gain or unexplained obesity.
- Severe acne or hirsutism.
How to Diagnose PCOD?

- Medical History Review
- Symptoms, menstrual history, lifestyle, and family history.
- Physical Examination
- Checking for skin changes, hair growth patterns, and weight distribution.
- Blood Tests
- Hormonal panels (e.g., testosterone, estrogen, insulin levels, prolactin, LH, FSH, DHEAs).
- Imaging Tests
- Ultrasound (TAS/TVS) to detect ovarian cysts.
- Rotterdam Criteria: 2 of the following manifestations- Irregular/absent ovulation, elevated levels of androgen, enlarged ovaries with at least 12 follicles each on USG
- HAIR-AN Syndrome: Presence of Hyperandrogenism, Acanthosis nigricans, Insulin resistance, Anovulation
Ayurvedic treatment for PCOD
Ayurvedic treatment for PCOD primarily corrects Kapha imbalance and disrupts agni (metabolic fire), thereby detoxifying the body, and restoring healthy metabolism.
