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

🌿 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.
