What is PCOS?

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder among women of reproductive age. It occurs when the ovaries produce excessive male hormones (androgens), leading to irregular periods, weight gain, acne, and difficulty in conceiving.

In Ayurveda, PCOS is understood as a condition caused by Kapha imbalance, leading to blockage in Artava Vaha Srotas (reproductive channels) and disturbance in Vata-Pitta balance affecting metabolism and hormones.

Common Symptoms of PCOS

• Irregular or missed periods
• Excess facial or body hair (hirsutism)
• Acne and oily skin
• Weight gain, especially around the waist
• Hair thinning or hair loss on the scalp
• Infertility or difficulty in conceiving
• Mood swings, anxiety, or fatigue

Causes of PCOS

• Hormonal imbalance (high levels of androgens and insulin resistance)
• Unhealthy lifestyle and stress
• Poor digestion (Agni mandya) leading to toxin (Ama) accumulation
• Excess intake of junk, oily, and sugary foods
• Lack of exercise or sedentary lifestyle
• Genetic factors
