It is not a surprising thing that an alarming percentage of Indian women is getting diagnosed with PCOD or PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Disease/Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome), which is a more of a lifestyle disorder than a hormonal one because people living in urban areas are more affected than those who live in rural areas. PCOD affects the young population of women who are in their reproductive age (16 to 40 approximately). In Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, women develop cysts in their ovaries with low levels of female hormones and a rise in male hormones, such as androgen. High levels of androgen or male hormones prevent the release of eggs from ovaries, leading to the formation of cysts. Women suffering from PCOD usually have insulin resistance and fall into the pre-diabetic category if they do not take corrective measures at the correct time. Women who suffer from PCOD also show signs of excessive facial hair growth, obesity, infertility, and acne. PCOD is a trigger for many morbid disorders like diabetes, heart disease, infertility, and many other diseases.
