PCOD (Polycystic ovarian disease) or PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) is one of the most common illnesses affecting women today who are in their reproductive years. The female ovary, along with the womb, is located in the pelvis. After every month, they produce and distribute follicle-developed eggs for fertilization, which are subsequently put into the uterus. Each month, additional follicles than normal (fluid-filled cysts) form in PCOD patients, but neither of them mature to deliver an egg. As the ovum is not expelled with menstruation over the course of many a period of time it stays in the ovaries and fluid begins to gather around it, eventually developing into cysts causing PCOS. For this problem, women must go for PCOS and PCOD treatment in homeopathy.
PCOD and PCOS show various symptoms in females including mood swings, pelvic pain, and sleep problems. All these symptoms are a result of different reasons. Whatever may be the cause, at Afecto Homeopathy we have highly skilled doctors who look out for PCOD and PCOS problems. They suggest the best possible homeopathic medicines that correct the root cause of the problem and provide relief in the long term.
Although the degree and kind of symptoms might vary from person to person, PCOS and PCOD have somewhat similar symptoms. Both PCOD and PCOS have the following common symptoms:
Irregular Menstrual Cycles
Ovulatory Dysfunction
Skin Issues
Mood Changes
Fatigue
Sleep Disorders
Since both problems are a little bit different from one another, they have nearly the same causes. The causes can vary from person to person but in general terms, some common causes of PCOD and PCOS are:
Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and androgen levels (such as testosterone) are typically higher than those of Follicle-stimulating Hormone (FSH) in PCOS and PCOD patients. The ovarian system can be damaged by these imbalances.
Inactive habits and obesity might exacerbate glucose resistance and other metabolic conditions linked to PCOS or PCOD.
There is confirmation that PCOD may run in families, suggesting that the disorder has a hereditary component but this is not in the case of PCOS.
High insulin levels are a factor in the conversion of carbohydrates and starches into calories. Your body’s capacity to utilize insulin properly is compromised if you suffer from an insulin resistance problem and as a result, your pancreas releases additional insulin to make glucose accessible to your cells (thus hyperinsulinemia). The body’s production of androgen may be increased by excessive insulin, which may alter the ovaries’ capacity to ovulate.
