PCOS / PCOD Care

Sri Vaidyanatha Ayurveda Hospital

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common hormonal disorders affecting women, especially during reproductive age. It is a major cause of infertility and is increasingly seen in adolescents and even post-menopausal women due to modern lifestyle factors.

🩺 Understanding PCOS

Common Features

  • Irregular or absent menstruation
  • Heavy menstrual bleeding
  • Anovulation (lack of ovulation)
  • Hormonal imbalance (Hyperandrogenism)
  • Teenage onset in severe cases

Associated Risks

  • Obesity (especially abdominal fat)
  • Insulin resistance & hyperinsulinemia
  • Type 2 Diabetes risk
  • High cholesterol & lipid imbalance
  • Hypertension & cardiovascular disease

🌿 Ayurvedic Perspective

According to Ayurveda, PCOS is considered an Avaranajanya Avastha, where the natural functioning of the HPO Axis (Hypothalamus–Pituitary–Ovarian axis) is disrupted. This leads to hormonal imbalance, metabolic disturbances, and ovarian dysfunction.

✨ Ayurvedic Treatment Approach

Bahya Chikitsa (External Therapies)
