TOP 5 INFORMATION ABOUT PCOD/ PCOS
“A BIG ISSUE, RIGHT?”
Out of 5 every 1 woman is suffering from PCOD or PCOS. What is actually PCOD/ PCOS ?
Here is the answer:
Firstly let me tell you, both PCOD and PCOS are the same. PCOD is polycystic ovarian disease and PCOS is polycystic ovarian syndrome. It is called syndrome, because it may cause multiple health issues.
1) PCOD/PCOS
PCOD/PCOS is POLY means multiple,CYSTIC means cyst, ovarian is ovary disease/syndrome.
Which means multiple cysts in the ovary. When the multiple cyst, filled with fluid, occurs in the ovary then the PCOD/PCOS issue occurs.
2) HORMONAL IMBALANCE
*Basically a female body produces two hormones, that is,androgen(male hormone) and estrogen(female hormone). When the balance of these hormones gets disturbed,like production of androgen increases over the production of estrogen hormone, PCOD/PCOS occurs.
3)REASON BEHIND IT(WHY)?
Basically it is a LIFESTYLE disease,it is caused due to:
*unhealthy food habits
*improper sleeping pattern
*genetic disorder (if your mother,sister or any close relatives has PCOD/PCOS then you are at high RISK of getting PCOD/PCOS.
*NO physical activities in your routine(no exercise,jogging, walking, yoga etc)
*depression and stress
*overweight
4) SIDE EFFECTS ON HEALTH / SYMPTOMS
*irregular menstruation(periods) or absence of periods. You may have no periods for a long time or have less than 8 periods in a year.
*heavy periods
*weight gain especially around the waist
*facial and cosmetic issues (excessive hair growth on face, chest,back andbuttocks)
*oily skin pimples/acne (this happens due to excessive formation of male hormone)
*leads to infertility or difficulty in getting pregnant (difficulty in conceiving),due to irregular or no ovulation.
5)DIAGNOSIS / INVESTIGATION

*If irregular periods are there
*if any medical history is there in the family
*Cosmetic issues like mail pattern hair growth, skin changes
*Laboratory blood test:

“Atlast I personally want to suggest to you that, just breathe and relax, don’t panic,dont run after medicines. Instead treat PCOD/PCOS on your own, walk every day for at least 30 minutes, it will reduce your stress level and increase the production of good hormones.and just eat healthy.
Doing this will solve your problem because it is a lifestyle disease.”
