In this post I’ll be telling  you in short:

1.What happens in PCOS /PCOD?            

2.Will there be a difficulty in having a baby?

3.What can you do at home for it?

4.What is the treatment available?


1.What happens in  PCOS/PCOD?

Let me explain the normal monthly period cycle first. 


It is a play of hormones.

There are 4 major hormones which regulate the period cycle.

The increasing and decreasing amount of these, lead to the various phases of the cycle.

 The ovum starts growing; once it is mature ,it gets released into the uterus through a tube. If it meets the sperm, it is converted to pregnancy.

But if it does not meet a sperm , ovum along with the uterus lining is scraped out in the form of periods.



 Now let us see what happens in PCOD/PCOS.

There is hormonal imbalance in the female body which leads to this condition.

The decreased amount of one and increased amount of other , hampers the progression of the cycle into the successive phases.

The ovum grows to a particular level and then gets arrested in a small fluid filled sac.

It does not progress further , so the cycle is at a standstill. Every month the ovum reaches a particular step and is arrested. Thus you do not get periods nor there is pregnancy.

The arrested ova in their sacs ,gather in the ovaries .

They are then called Polycystic ovaries. One or both ovaries can be affected.


2.Will there be a difficulty in  having a baby?


In order to have a baby, you should have regular monthly periods.

As explained above, if the ovum goes into the uterus then only it can meet the sperm and convert to pregnancy.

But PCOS/PCOD does not let that happen. Thus it becomes a hurdle for normal natural pregnancy.


3.What can you do at home for it?

Now as you already know this condition is related to hormonal imbalance.

But it is also listed in the lifestyle disorders.

Thus you need to take steps to correct this imbalance by modifying your lifestyle  in the following ways.

I. Lose weight. Studies say losing atleast 5% of present body weight is helpful in regulating your cycles.

II. Exercise daily. It helps to regulate the hormonal imbalance. Daily brisk walking for 30min along with exercises should be done. Especially Suryanamaskar help to stretch and stimulate the ovaries.



III. Have nutritious diet which will help healthy weight loss. Avoid  bakery products like biscuits, white bread , kharis etc. Do not have processed foods like, chips, kurkure, canned foods etc. Junk   foods like maggi , pasta, burgers are a big no no.

Once you follow these points for a period of  6months ,you will definitely see the difference. Take the control of your life and safeguard yourself from future hazards.


4.What is the treatment available?

In Allopathy there are following medical treatments ,

a.       Hormonal pills (oral contraceptive pills)

b.      Tablets which control the diabetes hormone insulin

c.       Tablets to promote ovulation.

d.      Injections of certain higher hormones .

Homeopathy too has a very effective treatment for PCOS/PCOD

It aims at restoring the disturbed body constitution.

The persons mind and body is taken into consideration while prescribing. There are no side effects. A minimum of 6 months treatment is required to see changes in the USG.

Lifestyle and diet changes along with exercise and medication best help to treat PCOS/PCOD

  Benign Enlargement of Prostate / Benign Prostatic hyperplasia  (Non –Cancerous)   In this Post you will get answers to the following questions. Why does the Prostate enlarge? What are its symptoms? What is the treatment for it?       Prostate is a gland below the urinary bladder i.e. urine bag in males.        It produces a fluid which is a part of the semen.        When this gland enlarges in size, it squeezes the urethra, i.e. a tube which carries urine out of the bladder. It is seen in males over 50 years of age. 1.Why does Prostate enlarge?           Prostate is governed by the male and female hormones in which the male hormones have an upper hand .         There are various theories about its enlargement. One theory says that, as age advances the male hormones diminishes but the female hormone oestrogen is not decreased equally.         Thus prostate enlargement occurs due to a disturbed ratio of the circulating male hormones i.e. androgen and female hormone, i.e. oestroge
