PCOS can create an imbalance and be the cause for many other health issues. There are a number of factors that need to be addressed to reverse this; it is not a disease but a whole syndrome (a set of symptoms) that needs to be treated and in totality.
PCOS is basically an imbalance that is caused by the metabolism of the body. So what needs to be addressed first is the correction of the metabolic process of the body. Ayurveda does just this for you.
Irregular periods refer to erratic time gap between consecutive menstrual cycles. For females having PCOS, this is one of the most common symptoms which will even trigger them to seek medical help.
Periods can be classified as irregular or not consistent if the following occur:
PCOS is triggered by the insufficient production of oestrogen in the body.
But there is excessive production of the male hormone androgen. This causes unusual growth of hair on the face and chin.
This is also triggered by the excessive production of the male hormone – androgen by the ovaries. The excessive androgen – testosterone will also cause baldness as in males.
The excessive level of the androgen, testosterone, will cause hair loss and also baldness if severity is high.
PCOS also causes increase in weight. Sudden weight gain can be an indication of PCOS. Weight gain can worsen the issues that PCOS can trigger.
PCOS causes ovulation issues which might make conceiving difficult.
The emotional state of a female with PCOS will be a disturbed one. They will have many inhibitions about PCOS and what it can mean for them. Their temper will be on a roller coaster ride most of the time.
Dealing with PCOS requires a lot of grit. Being aware of the issues that can arise because of PCOS itself will dampen the spirits of the female suffering from it. All positivity will vanish and depressed thoughts will set in. Seeking medical advice and treatment will set this right.
Females affected by PCOS will experience sleeplessness to a great extent. This in turn can magnify the other symptoms of PCOS as well.
There are a number of factors that attribute to a female developing PCOS.
Some of the factors are:
Early diagnosis and the right treatment will reduce the probability of complications that might arise due to PCOS.

The process of dealing with PCOS starts with understanding the general metabolism of the patient. At AVN it is the most important aspect to understand through a detailed discussion with the patient, these aspects.
Subsequent to this Ayurvedic supplements, health tips, diet and lifestyle changes are advised.
The treatment will be on an outpatient basis initially. Based on how the patient responds to the treatment the duration of treatment will be decided. The patient can be completely fine and normal in about eight months or even earlier.
In cases where the patient has severe PCOS, only the medication for ovulation might be working effectively. In this case, based on how the root cause can be treated in a higher degree, Panchakarma can be prescribed to the patient. Ayurvedic supplements will also be administered.
The Panchakarma prescribed at AVN is not a standard one across all ailments. It is not the same for all patients having PCOS as well. It is tailor-made to suit the metabolic needs of each patient. Therefore all the five processes of Panchakarma need not necessarily be prescribed for all the patients.
If PCOS is not stress related, but only the metabolism needs some help in fine tuning functionally, it is usually a combination of
If PCOS is caused mainly because of stress, while the metabolism functioning is almost fine, the Panchakarma prescribed is usually a combination of
We at AVN, specialise in understanding and concluding if the patient’s state of PCOS is caused by mere stressor their metabolism which is messed up.
Counselling also forms a major part of the comprehensive treatment plan. We help the patient in thinking positive and motivated about their health. This promotes a higher quality of the clinical outcomes.
Getting to know that you have PCOS, and making an effort to adopt the treatment plan suggested, is half the battle won against the ill effects of leaving PCOS untreated.
