PCOD (Poly Cystic Ovarian Disease) or PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome) is a disease characterized by multiple (poly) cysts (small sacs filled with fluid) in the ovaries.

Normal Ovary Polycystic Ovary
Patients with PCOD have abnormal levels of hormones that result in irregular menses, infertility and certain masculine changes in the body.
Symptoms:
Generally, the patient presents with the following symptoms: Irregular menses (usually delayed)

Weight gain and difficulty in losing weight Acne, oily skin, dandruff Excessive hair growth on the

face, chest, back Thinning of hair Infertility Miscarriage High blood pressure Diabetes High cholesterol

Remarks: Various hormones of the body operate in harmony to regularize smooth functioning of all systems including the reproductive system. The disturbance of hormonal mechanism makes the ovaries produce excessive

amount of the male reproductive hormones (androgens) and at the same time there is failure of egg formation. This excess of androgens with absence of ovulation may cause infertility.

With this understanding, that the disturbed hormonal functioning of the body lies at the root of PCOD, it can be easily perceived that this constitutional disorder will require constitutional approach towards its rectification.
Homeopathic approach towards management of PCOD is constitutional, taking into account the presenting complaints along with physical, mental and genetic make-up that individualizes a person. Homeopathic medicines which act at root level can bring back deviations of hormonal system back to normalcy and in many cases abolish the need for exogenous hormones with their side-effects and complicating surgical procedures. Moreover, with this hormonal harmony, chances of conception increase significantly.

Suggestion about homeopathic treatment:
Homeopathic treatment is positively recommended in management of PCOD.
