  3. INTRODUCTION Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) is a hormonal condition that affects approximately 5- 10% of women in their childbearing ages (12 to 45-years). While the prevalence of PCOD differs, it affects around 9% to 22% of Indian women. The numbers are about 2% to 7% in China and Sri Lanka. In this condition, the hormones of a woman go out of balance. It leads to various symptoms, including the absence of ovulation, irregular menstrual periods, difficulty conceiving, weight gain, acne, and hirsutism. PCOD, also known as PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome), if left untreated, can lead to further health complications, like diabetes, obesity, heart diseases, and high cholesterol.

  4. Symptoms  • Increased androgen levels. Excess male sex hormones may result in various physical manifestations, such as excess facial and body hair and male-pattern baldness. • Irregular periods. You may observe irregular periods or delayed menstrual cycle due to the abnormality in maturation of the egg. • Difficulty in getting pregnant due to irregular and delayed or failed ovulation. The abnormal levels of hormones prevent the follicles from maturing and releasing the egg, causing delayed or failed ovulation. This heavily affects the menstrual cycle and thereby your periods. Many women are diagnosed with PCOD when they visit the doctor regarding their unsuccessful attempts at getting pregnant. • Hair loss or excessive thinning of hair. This symptom, too, is due to the increased production of male hormones in the body. • Acne on the skin • Weight gain

  5. Causes  • Family History: There is a 50% possibility of getting PCOD among the women whose immediate female relatives suffer from PCOD. • Insulin resistance & Lifestyle: About 70% women with PCOD have peripheral insulin resistance. The pancreas produces insulin, which is a hormone to help the body use sugar from foods for energy. • Inflammation: PCOS can lead to increased levels of inflammation in women. And being overweight also can contribute to inflammation. • Weight: Sometimes, a higher weight may worsen insulin resistance and the symptoms of polycystic ovarian syndrome. 

  6. How PCOD is Diagnosis • While there is no particular test to confirm PCOD, your doctor would discuss your medical history and perform a physical examination to confirm the condition. They may then recommend • A pelvic examination • Blood tests to quantify hormone levels • An ultrasound to check the appearance of your ovaries and the uterus

  7. Problems associated with PCOD • Various metabolic syndromes, including high blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, increased cholesterol and blood glucose levels. • Miscarriages • Infertility • Gestational diabetes • Sleep apnea • Type 2 Diabetes • Depression and other mental disorders • Endometrial cancer • Abnormal uterine bleeding • Untreatable acne, displaying hormonal problems • Chronic Liver inflammation

  8. Treatments • Medications and surgery to treat PCOD. • Diet to Treat PCOD • What exercises are best for PCOD? If you are suffering from PCOD, then your first task is to reduce your Body Mass Index (BMI). Various types of exercises that you could consider are • High-Intensity interval training (HIIT) • Cardiovascular workouts • Mind-body exercises • Strength training • Interval training

  9. Conclusion There is no clear cause for PCOD. However, early detection or diagnosis of PCOD will be constructive in relieving the symptoms as well as to reduce the complications involved. PCOD treatment helps you to manage your concerns, including infertility, hirsutism, acne, immature follicles, or obesity. However, specific treatment might involve lifestyle changes or medication.
