PCOS/PCOD & Women’s Health Disorders – Causes, Symptoms & Homeopathic Treatment

What is PCOS/PCOD?

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) are hormonal disorders affecting women of reproductive age. They result in irregular periods, ovarian cysts, weight gain, and infertility due to hormonal imbalances, particularly excess androgens (male hormones) and insulin resistance.

Causes of PCOS/PCOD

The exact cause is unclear, but contributing factors include:

Hormonal Imbalance – Increased androgens prevent ovulation.

Insulin Resistance – High insulin levels trigger excess testosterone production.

Genetic Predisposition – Family history increases the risk.

Lifestyle Factors – Poor diet, obesity, stress, and lack of exercise.

Symptoms of PCOS/PCOD

Irregular or absent periods – Due to lack of ovulation.

Ovarian cysts – Fluid-filled sacs on the ovaries.

Excessive hair growth (Hirsutism) – Facial, chest, or body hair.

Acne & oily skin – Due to high androgen levels.

Weight gain & difficulty losing weight – Especially around the abdomen.

Thinning scalp hair (female pattern baldness) – Hair loss due to hormonal imbalance.

Infertility or difficulty conceiving – Due to irregular ovulation.

Mood swings, anxiety & depression – Due to hormonal fluctuations.
