Living with PCOS: You're Not Alone
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder affecting women of reproductive age. It occurs when there’s an imbalance in the levels of estrogen and progesterone, leading to the development of multiple small fluid-filled sacs (cysts) in the ovaries. These cysts may interfere with ovulation, causing irregular menstrual cycles, and other symptoms.

Treatment Options for PCOD
The treatment for PCOD varies depending on the individual’s symptoms and goals. Common approaches include:
Maintaining a healthy weight, regular exercise, and a balanced diet can help manage symptoms.
Hormonal medications like birth control pills or metformin can help regulate menstrual cycles, reduce acne, and improve insulin sensitivity.
In severe cases, surgical procedures like laparoscopic ovarian drilling may be considered to restore ovulation.
