PCOD - Know More About It!

What is PCOD?

An extremely common condition among women of a reproductive age group during the present times is the PCOS or polycystic ovarian syndrome.
As the name indicates, multiple cysts form in the ovary, which does not rupture during ovulation and consequently leads to a hormonal imbalance. If left untreated, the patient can develop serious health problems like diabetes and heart diseases.

Symptoms:

The patient may present with acne, irregular or absent periods, obesity, increased growth of body hair due to secretion of male sex hormone, thinning of hair, infertility, and depression. The symptoms, however, can vary from person to person.
 

Diagnosis:

Early diagnosis and treatment can help control symptoms and thereby prevent long-term complications. Diagnosis is made with the help of a series of hormonal tests (increased LH and decreased FSH) and ultrasound imaging. In most cases, ultrasound imaging alone is sufficient to confirm the diagnosis.
 

Management:

The management has to be a multipronged one to bring about a quick and complete recovery. It is of utmost importance to lose weight in patients who are overweight and lead a more active lifestyle.
