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.

Generally,
the
patient
presents
with the
following
symptoms:

(usually
delayed)

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. |
