Polycystic  ovary syndrome (PCOS) or PCOD (Poly Cystic Ovarian Disease)   is a  common endocrine system disorder among women of reproductive age.   Patients with PCOD have abnormal levels of hormones that result in  irregular menses, infertility and certain masculine changes in the body.  Women with PCOS produce higher than normal amounts of male hormones.  This hormonal imbalance causes them to skip their menstrual periods and  makes it harder for them to get pregnant.  Polycystic primarily means  ‘many cysts’ and cysts are filled with fluid and immature eggs. PCOS is  common and affects 10 to 15% of women in childbearing age. Women with  PCOS may have enlarged ovaries that contain small collections of fluid —  called follicles.

Benefits of Homeopathy

Homeopathy  tries to restore the balance of that vitality. Once the vitality  regains its original balance, it is able to nurse itself back to health  without any external aid. Homeopathic treatments correct the hormonal  imbalance & neutralise its negative effects. The cysts dissolve  gradually and can be checked in after 3-6 months of starting the  treatment, by repeating the USG pelvis. The menstrual cycle gets  regularised. Other complaints, including acne and hair growth on the  face, are also taken care of. It opens the possibility of becoming  fertile in the future for women to bear pregnancy.
