Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) is a hormonal disorder characterized by multiple eggs which do not grow. Driven primarily by insulin resistance, excess androgen production, and genetic or lifestyle factors, it disrupts normal reproductive health. This hormonal imbalance manifests through key symptoms, including irregular or heavy periods, unexpected weight gain (particularly abdominal), acne, excess body hair, and hair thinning. Additionally, irregular ovulation often causes fertility challenges. While PCOD affects overall well-being, early diagnosis, balanced nutrition, active lifestyle adjustments, and proper medical guidance can effectively manage symptoms, restore hormonal balance, and improve reproductive health.
