Abstract
Polycystic ovarian syndrome is a common endocrine system disorder among women of reproductive age. Most women with PCOS have many small cysts in the ovaries. Hence, it is called Polycystic ovarian syndrome. Hyper-insulinemia and hyperandrogenemia are the chief culprits responsible for various signs and symptoms which we find in PCOS. The symptoms of PCOS may begin in adolescence with menstrual irregularities and may lead to infertility. PCOS is a common female endocrine disorder affecting approximately 5-12% of women. It causes worry as it is commonly found in reproductive age, also it is thought to be one of the leading cause of female infertility. Current treatments for PCOS are only moderately effective at controlling symptoms and preventing complications. Though in Ayurveda this condition has not been explained as a single disease entity, but it can be constructed under the headings Yonivyapada and Artavadushti. Ayurvedic treatment has a holistic approach towards management of PCOS. Each patient is given a unique therapy based on her specific health needs due to PCOS. Thus, Ayurvedic treatment not only helps in controlling PCOS, it also helps in restoring health and well-being.
