What is PCOD / PCOS?
Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) or Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common hormonal disorders in women of reproductive age. It is characterised by multiple small fluid-filled cysts in the ovaries, irregular or absent periods, and elevated levels of male hormones (androgens).
PCOD is not just a reproductive problem it affects metabolism, insulin regulation, skin, hair, weight and emotional wellbeing. Left untreated, it can lead to infertility, type 2 diabetes and other long-term complications.
In India, 1 in 5 women of reproductive age is affected by PCOD. The good news is that with the right treatment one that addresses the root hormonal cause most women can achieve complete resolution of symptoms.
Symptoms of PCOD / PCOS
Symptoms vary from person to person but typically include:
Causes of PCOD
The exact cause of PCOD is not fully understood, but the following factors play a role:
- Stress and lifestyle : poor sleep, chronic stress,unhealthy diet and a sedentary lifestyle worsen hormonal imbalance
- Hormonal imbalance : elevated androgens disrupt ovulation and cause cyst formation
- Insulin resistance : the body doesn't respond to insulin properly, causing elevated blood sugar and increased androgen production
- Genetics : PCOD runs in families; if your mother or sister has it, your risk is higher
- Chronic inflammation : low-grade inflammation stimulates the ovaries to produce androgens
If PCOD is Left Untreated
- Infertility : PCOD is the most common cause of anovulatory infertility
- Type 2 diabetes : due to worsening insulin resistance
- Endometrial cancer : from prolonged exposure to oestrogen without ovulation
- High blood pressure and cardiovascular disease
- Depression and anxiety
- Sleep disorders
How Homeopathy Treats PCOD
Homeopathy works differently. It treats the root hormonal imbalance at a constitutional level helping your body regulate its own hormones naturally.
- Stimulates the body's hormonal self-regulation by reducing androgen excess naturally
- Improves insulin sensitivity without medication
- Regularises the menstrual cycle by restoring ovulation
- Reduces cyst size and prevents new cyst formation
- Addresses associated symptoms like acne, hair fall, weight gain, mood swings
- Improves fertility by restoring normal ovulatory function
The treatment is completely personalised. Dr. Chhavi Bansal takes a detailed case history, your complete symptom picture, menstrual history, stress patterns, sleep, diet, and emotional health and prescribes a remedy specific to your constitution.
