PCOD / PCOS: Treatment

Are you suffering from PCOD/PCOS? Well, let’s find out what PCOD or PCOS is and how Ferticity IVF & Fertility Clinics is the best PCOD/PCOS treatment centre in South Delhi.

PCOD / PCOS

Polycystic ovarian syndrome or PCOD / PCOS is a common hormonal disorder that affects the ovaries of women in a reproductive age group i.e., 18-45 years. According to our experts at Ferticity IVF & Fertility Clinics

approx. 10% of the women in the world are dealing with this condition which can be complex, chronic and disturbing.

The reproductive organs of a woman produce progesterone and estrogen hormones which help in regulating periods and also produce inhibin, relaxin, and male hormones called androgens usually in small amounts.

When dealing with PCOD / PCOS the woman’s male hormones increase experiences irregular periods and can have multiple tiny cysts or fluid-filled sacs in one or both ovaries.

The exact cause for PCOD / PCOS is not known but can be connected with disturbed hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, genetic and environmental factors like lifestyle and food eating habits.

Difference between PCOD and PCOS

PCOD	PCOS
PCOD is a general disorder and 10% of the world’s women population is affected by it.	PCOS is a complicated condition and around 0.2%-2.5% of the world women population is affected by it.
In PCOD ovaries produce multiple immature or partially mature eggs which happen due to an unhealthy lifestyle, weight gain, stress/anxiety or hormonal imbalance in the body.	PCOS is a more severe metabolic disorder than PCOD which can lead to anovulation where the ovaries stop releasing eggs.
During PCOD fertility in women is not affected. A woman can still ovulate and conceive with little medical assistance.	PCOS can seriously affect fertility in a woman. A woman cannot ovulate regularly which makes it hard to conceive. If pregnant, there are always complications in their pregnancy like risk of miscarriage or premature birth, etc.
PCOD doesn’t have any severe complications.	PCOS can have serious complications like heart diseases, high-blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and the chances of endometrial cancer in later stages.

Why do you have to face these symptoms in PCOD / PCOS?

When insulin levels increase in a woman’s body it might increase Male hormones production (Androgen which is present in a very less quantity in females) which further causes difficulty with ovulation.

Women dealing with PCOD / PCOS have more androgens than normal. This increased level of androgen causes ovulatory dysfunction, alters the normal menstrual cycle, causes acne, and excessive hair growth and leads to obesity.
