FAQs
- What is the difference between PCOD and PCOS?
PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease) involves hormonal imbalance where ovaries produce immature eggs that develop into cysts. PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) is a more complex endocrine disorder that affects multiple body systems and often includes metabolic issues like insulin resistance. PCOS is generally more severe than PCOD and can have long-term health implications. - How is PCOD diagnosed in women?
PCOD is diagnosed through a combination of clinical symptoms (like irregular periods, acne, and weight gain), pelvic ultrasound to detect multiple cysts, and hormonal blood tests to assess levels of androgens, insulin, and reproductive hormones. A healthcare provider may also rule out other conditions before confirming the diagnosis. - What are the best PCOD treatment options available?
Treatment includes lifestyle modifications such as a balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management. Medical options include hormonal birth control pills, insulin-sensitizing drugs like Metformin, ovulation-inducing medications for fertility, and supplements such as inositol or vitamin D. Treatment is tailored based on individual symptoms and health goals. - Is PCOD curable permanently with lifestyle changes?
PCOD is not permanently curable but can be effectively managed. With consistent lifestyle changes—like weight management, a PCOD-friendly diet, regular physical activity, and stress reduction—many women experience restored hormonal balance and symptom reversal over time. - Can PCOD affect pregnancy and fertility in women?
Yes, PCOD can disrupt ovulation and make it harder to conceive. However, many women with PCOD do get pregnant naturally or with the help of fertility treatments. Early intervention, cycle tracking, and support from a gynecologist can significantly improve chances of conception. - Are there any effective PCOD Ayurvedic treatments?
Ayurveda offers natural remedies like Ashwagandha, Shatavari, Triphala, and dietary changes to balance hormones and improve reproductive health. Detox therapies like Panchakarma may also be recommended. While these treatments may offer support, they should be pursued under the guidance of a certified Ayurvedic practitioner and complemented with modern medical care.
