Polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD) is a common hormonal disorder among women of reproductive age, incorrectly approached by the mainstream allopathy system as a localized ‘poly-cyst’. Many young women are treated with hormonal medication causing irreparable side effects or with sugar control drugs for peripheral relief without any perceptible contribution to the quality of life. Too much insulin combined with high levels of the luteinizing hormone can lead to excess production of the male hormone called testosterone in your ovaries, and an abnormally high amount of testosterone prevent ovulation.
As a result, your follicle does not mature and ovulation does not occur, which can lead to infertility. Infrequent or prolonged menstrual periods, excess hair growth, acne, and obesity can all occur in women with polycystic ovary syndrome. In adolescents, infrequent or absent menstruation may signal the condition. In women past adolescence, difficulty becoming pregnant or unexplained weight gain may be the first sign. Early diagnosis and treatment may reduce the risk of long-term complications, such as type-2 diabetes and heart disease.
