Abstract

The women is said to be three times more responsible in the procreation. She has to bear the responsibilities of reproduction and bringing up of children for which there is a need for disease free mind, body and in particular the healthy reproductive system. Polycystic ovary syndrome is a disorder involving infrequent, irregular or prolonged menstrual periods, and often excess male hormone (androgen) levels. The ovaries develop numerous small collections of fluid called follicles and may fail to regularly release eggs. Women with PCOS are at increased risk of reproductive abnormalities. This is a major cause of infertility in women, also known as stein-Leventhal syndrome. With no definite cause known various theories describes the imbalance of hormones. It is characterized by hyperandrogenism, polycystic ovaries, and multiple metabolic aberrations (such as insulin resistance & hyperinsulinaemia). Prevalence of PCOS in India ranges from 3.7 to 22.5 per cent.[1] The unhealthy lifestyle followed by youngsters nowadays is observed to be the primary reason for PCOS. The hormone imbalance due to lack of physical activities triggers the problem, leading to multiple cysts. The allopathic approach to this medical condition focuses on removing the problem superficially, rather than eliminating the disease at the root level. The Ayurvedic approach to treat PCOS reflects the regulation of rasa and Rakta Dhatus, which means cleansing the body vital systems.
