I am 40 years old. I am suffering from pcod. I want to know the difference between pcos and pcod?

Question

There is a lot of confusion among females regarding pcos and pcod. To clear out, both are the medical conditions associated with ovaries and hormonal imbalance during the reproductive age, i.e. Between 12 and 51 years. Differences between both are - pcod is a common disorder, while pcos is serious. In pcod, ovaries produce many immature or partially mature eggs, while pcos is a metabolic disorder and a severe form of pcod. Women with pcod don't have fertility issues and they can ovulate and become pregnant, while pcos severely affects fertility in women and it becomes hard for them to become pregnant. Pcod does not have any serious complications, while pcos can lead to type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and endometrial cancer.
