Polycystic Ovarian Disorder
Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD), often referred to as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), is a common hormonal disorder affecting people with ovaries. It is characterized by multiple small cysts on the ovaries, irregular menstrual cycles, and an excess of androgen hormones, which can lead to a range of symptoms, including acne, weight gain, and increased hair growth.
PCOD
PCOD’s exact cause is not entirely clear but is believed to be influenced by genetics and insulin resistance. Managing PCOD typically involves lifestyle modifications, medication, and, in some cases, fertility treatments, tailored to address specific symptoms and improve overall health. Timely diagnosis and proactive management are important, particularly for those who are looking to address fertility concerns or alleviate troublesome symptoms.
