About PCOS and PCOD
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS, also called PCOD) is a common hormonal condition. The ovaries may release eggs irregularly, and the body often has higher levels of male hormones (androgens) and difficulty using insulin. Signs include irregular or missed periods, weight gain around the middle, acne, thinning scalp hair or extra facial hair, and sometimes trouble conceiving. Lifestyle (diet, activity, sleep and stress) has a strong effect on symptoms.
In Ayurveda, PCOS is seen as Kapha and Vata blocking the channels of the reproductive system (Artava vaha srotas), with sluggish metabolism (Agni). Treatment aims to clear, lighten and regulate.
How we treat it
Your doctor plans treatment after reviewing your scans, blood tests and cycle history. It usually includes:
- Udvartana: a brisk massage with warm herbal powders, to support metabolism and weight
- Virechana: a gentle, guided cleanse after preparation, if suitable
- Vasti: medicated enemas, used in Ayurveda for conditions of the lower abdomen and the cycle, if the doctor finds them suitable
- Herbal medicines, a light, low-sugar Ayurvedic diet, daily yoga and walking
- For home: a realistic plan for meals, exercise, sleep and stress, which matters most in PCOS
