Ayurvedic Hospital for PCOD in Chennai

Agasti Ayurveda Hospital provides Ayurvedic Treatment for PCOD in Chennai. Ovaries are the reproductive organs of a female which control the menstrual cycle and the production of hormones like estrogen, progesterone, inhibin, relaxin etc. The accumulation of the eggs swells the ovary and makes it release large quantities of male hormone thus causing infertility.

PCOD is a hormonal condition that affects approximately 5- 10% of women in their childbearing ages (12 to 45-years). While the prevalence of PCOD differs, it affects around 9% to 22% of Indian women. The numbers are about 2% to 7% in China and Sri Lanka.

In this condition, the hormones of a woman go out of balance which creates various symptoms, including the absence of ovulation, irregular menstrual cycle, difficulty conceiving, weight gain, acne, and hirsutism. PCOD, also known as PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome), if left untreated, can lead to further health complications, like diabetes, obesity, heart diseases, and high cholesterol.

Common symptoms of PCOS

  • Irregular or unpredictable menstrual periods
  • Heavy bleeding during periods
  • Excess body hair
  • Acne
  • Hair loss or male pattern baldness
  • Difficulty in getting pregnant
  • Obesity
  • Darkening of skin or pigmentation around the neck
  • Sleep disorders
  • Depression

What is PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome)?

PCOS affects a woman’s ovaries, the reproductive organs that produce estrogen and progesterone hormones that regulate the menstrual cycle. The ovaries also produce a small amount of male hormones called androgens.

The ovaries release eggs to be fertilized by a man’s sperm. The release of an egg each month is called ovulation.

Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), which are produced in the pituitary gland, control ovulation.

FSH stimulates the ovary to produce a follicle a sac that contains an egg and then LH triggers the ovary to release a mature egg.

Common symptoms of PCOS

  • Irregular menstrual cycles – menstruation may be less or more frequent due to less frequent ovulation (release of an egg)
  • Amenorrhoea (no periods) – some women with PCOS do not menstruate, in some cases for many years
  • Excessive facial or body hair growth (or both)
  • Acne
  • Scalp hair loss
  • Reduced fertility (difficulty in becoming pregnant) – related to less frequent or absent ovulation
  • Mood changes – including anxiety and depression
  • Obesity
  • Insulin resistance

Difference Between PCOD and PCOS

The names PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) and PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease) are often used interchangeably.

PCOD is a medical condition where the women’s ovaries produce


PCOD

PCOS

About one-third of women worldwide suffer from PCOD, which means pretty common.

PCOS is a disease that affects fewer women than PCOD.

PCOD does not affect fertility in women. In about 80% of the cases, women can conceive with little help and medications.

PCOS affects female fertility adversely. As the woman is not ovulating regularly, it is difficult to conceive. Even if they do, there is a risk of miscarriage, premature birth, or complications during pregnancy.

PCOD has no serious complications.

Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and advanced endometrial cancer are serious complications associated with PCOS.

PCOD doesn’t have severe complications and can be healed with the right diet plan.

While polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) cannot be cured, the symptoms can be controlled through lifestyle changes and medicines.

PCOD does not release as many male hormones as PCOS, the symptoms are less frequent and rarely noticeable.

Women suffering from PCOS often struggle with the symptoms from a younger age.

PCOD sufferers are not threatened with such issues.

PCOS is inherently a metabolic disorder. This means it is often accompanied by a greater risk of developing high blood pressure (hypertension), diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, obesity, and cancers of the uterus and breast.

Women who suffer from PCOD experience mild to moderate symptoms. These symptoms can be managed with diet, lifestyle changes, and medication.

Women suffering from PCOS may require infertility treatments and active treatment protocols to manage other health conditions that they may develop.

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a female endocrine disorder occurring during the reproductive age and affecting approximately 5-12% of the female population. It is commonly accompanied by obesity and menstrual irregularity, and can lead to infertility. It is called a syndrome because it has complex manifestations in many organs.

PCOS should be treated as early as possible. Early diagnosis and immediate treatment helps to avoid complication and chronicity. Late diagnosis may lead to lasting complications.

In Ayurveda, PCOS comes under the chapter of Yoni Vyapat (utero vaginal disorders) and is one of 20 diseases in that section.

Cause of PCOS

The ancient science of Ayurveda looks at any disease as an imbalance. Ayurveda classifies PCOS as a kapha disorder. Arthava dhatu is the tissue responsible for reproduction in the female body and the channel that carries the reproductive fluid is called artavavaha srota. PCOS occurs when excess kapha blocks the natural balanced flow of these fluids and channels. Movement is obstructed, metabolism is supressed, and PCOS symptoms can arise.

Improper diet and lifestyle, including mental stress and lack of physical exercise, as well as prolonged and excessive consumption of hormonal contraceptive pills are major causes of PCOS.

Common symptoms of PCOS

  • Irregular menstrual cycles – menstruation may be less or more frequent due to less frequent ovulation (release of an egg)
  • Amenorrhoea (no periods) – some women with PCOS do not menstruate, in some cases for many years
  • Excessive facial or body hair growth (or both)
  • Acne
  • Scalp hair loss
  • Reduced fertility (difficulty in becoming pregnant) – related to less frequent or absent ovulation
  • Mood changes – including anxiety and depression
  • Obesity
  • Insulin resistance

Ayurvedic treatment of PCOS & PCOD follows these protocols:

  • Ayurvedic detoxification of the body
  • Strengthening and revitalizing the female reproductive system
  • Rectifying hormonal imbalance
  • Managing obesity and insulin resistance

Panchakarma is the first line of treatment for PCOS. An ayurvedic specialist prepares a personalised program after a detailed consultation.

Panchakarma treats the root cause by eradicating toxins from the reproductive system: The uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes and the vagina are cleansed, and hormones are balanced. Some of the main procedures include virechana (therapeutic purgation), uttar vasti (uterovaginal enema) and vasti (colonic enema).

Following the panchakarma, special herbs and procedures are used to bring balance and revitalisation to the female reproductive system. Ayurvedic herbs are rich in phytoestrogen, which can drastically cut down inflammation and insulin resistance.
