Abstract :
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), is a
hormonal and endocrine condition among women most
frequent among teenagers and young women, affecting
5-10% of women throughout their reproductive years
and characterized by an imbalance of female sex
hormones, a change in the menstrual cycle, and an
ovarian cyst that can lead to infertility. The most
prevalent symptoms of PCOS are acne, hirsutism,
menstrual cycle irregularity, obesity, insulin resistance
(IR), and elevated cholesterol, all of which are linked to
hyperandrogenism. Because of the wide spectrum of
signs and symptoms, health professionals must have a
thorough understanding of the illness and how to treat it.
According to prevalence surveys, 8.2 percent (RC) of
Indian women and girls have PCOS. The specific cause
of PCOS is unknown, however genetic and
environmental factors are the primary causes. PCOS
causes complications such as cardiovascular, oncology,
metabolic, and barrenness in women. Traditional
medicinal systems such as Ayurvedic, homoeopathic,
Unani, and Siddha, as well as modern systems such as
allopathic and surgical treatment, show promising
results in the treatment of PCOS, regardless of whether
the cause is hereditary or metabolic. Tridosha and
herbal remedies are preferred in ayurvedic
Panchkarma. Laparoscopic ovarian drilling surgical
therapy is done in clomiphene resistant patients. PCOS
can be managed by changing a woman's diet, exercising,
and changing her lifestyle. Yoga asanas such as chakki,
badhakonasana, shavasna, padma sadhana, and surya
namskar help to improve PCOS symptoms. Recently,
PCOS has been linked to a greater incidence of covid 19
infection in women.
