PCOD is a situation, when we can see an enlarged ovary and small follicular cysts, which have 0.5?1.0 cm diameter. Sign and symptoms of this disease include, irregular periods, hair pattern which resembles male patterns, storage of fat at abdominal area, and infertility. FSH and LH levels are important for the diagnosis of disease along with pelvic ultrasound. PCOD does not exactly mean infertility, many women can bear child even with this disease. For the treatment of PCOD, patients are given progesterone pills, which help in balancing the hormones. PCOS is more severe form of this syndrome. Patient is affected in more than one ways. In this condition, more than twelve follicles are produced every month, but as they all are, immature so no ovum is releases and resultantly, ovaries start producing higher level of testosterones, which leads to hormonal imbalance. One forth population of women are having multiple follicles in ovaries, but only 10% women suffer from PCOS. Symptoms for this syndrome are irregular periods, weight gain, Acne; difficulties in pregnancy and thinning of hair, but symptom vary from person to person which usually develop in late twenties. Blood tests and ultrasound scan are the two methods to diagnose the disease.
