Comprehensive PCOS Management with Jeevanrekha Ayurved

Prevalence of PCOS

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), also called Polycystic Ovarian Disorder (PCOD), is one of the most common hormonal disorders seen in women today. In India, prevalence is estimated to be 3.7%–22.5%, with around 5–10% of women of reproductive age affected. Among adolescents, the prevalence is nearly 5% and rising steadily.

Globally, PCOS affects around 8–13% of women of reproductive age, and almost 70% of cases remain undiagnosed. This growing burden makes PCOS a major public health challenge that needs early diagnosis, lifestyle regulation, and holistic management.

Understanding PCOS

PCOS is not just a menstrual or fertility problem—it is a genetic and lifestyle disorder that impacts multiple systems of the body. The core abnormality is insulin resistance, which occurs both at the ovarian tissue level and the hepatic (liver) level.

This leads to:

• Formation of small cysts in ovaries (though not always visible)
• Hormonal imbalances: FSH, LH, Testosterone, DHEA, Estrogen
• Disturbed aromatization of hormones
• Weight gain and obesity in many, while others remain lean but still develop PCOS pathology

Thus, every patient is different—the symptomatology and severity depend on genetic expression, environment, and lifestyle.

Symptoms of PCOS

• Overweight or obesity
• Absent or irregular periods – ranging from light spotting to very heavy bleeding
• Difficulty in getting pregnant (infertility)
• Acne, oily skin, dandruff, or dark thick patches on the neck, arms, breasts, or thighs
• Pelvic pain, anxiety, depression, and sleep problems
• Hormonal symptoms: decreased breast size, deep voice, enlarged clitoris, increased body hair (chest, abdomen, face), thinning scalp hair

If untreated, PCOS may progress to serious co-morbidities such as:

• Metabolic syndrome
• Type 2 diabetes
• Cardiovascular disease
• Cervical and ovarian cancers

Types of PCOS

Obese PCOS

Driven primarily by insulin resistance and excess adiposity. Commonly linked to irregular cycles, infertility, acne, and hirsutism.

Thin PCOS

Patients may be lean but show androgen excess (DHEAS, testosterone). Often influenced by environmental and adrenal factors. Requires different management compared to obese PCOS.
