PCOD (Poly-Cystic Ovarian Disease)
is a disease characterized by multiple cysts (small sacs filled
with fluid) in the ovaries. "Poly" means many.
The patient usually presents with
history of irregular menstrual cycles; unpredictable and heavy.
The patient is often obese and has hirsutism (excessive facial and
body hair). The patient usually seeks medical opinion for difficulty
in conceiving.
Various hormones of the body are working
in harmony to regularize smooth functioning of reproductive system.
The disturbance of hormonal mechanism make an ovary to produce excessive
amount of reproductive hormone and at the same time there is failure
of egg formation. This excess with absence of ovulation may cause
infertility.
With this understanding that the disturbed
hormonal functioning of the body at the root of PCOD, it can be
easily perceived that this constitutional disorder will require
constitutional approach towards its rectification.
Homoeopathy approach towards management
of PCOD is constitutional, taking into account presenting complaints
along with physical, mental, and genetic make up that individualizes
a person. Homoeopathy medicines which act at root level can bring
back deviations of hormonal system back to normalcy and in many
cases abolish need of exogenous hormones with their side effects
and complicating surgical procedures. Moreover with this hormonal
harmony, chances of conception increase significantly.
