Abstract

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder affecting women of reproductive age and is associated with menstrual irregularities, hyperandrogenism, metabolic disturbances, and infertility. Conventional management focuses mainly on hormonal regulation and symptomatic relief, often with limited long-term benefits. Ayurveda offers a holistic approach by addressing the underlying doshic imbalance and metabolic dysfunction. This case report presents a 20-year-old female diagnosed with PCOS who was treated with an individualized Ayurvedic treatment protocol. After three months of therapy, significant improvement was observed in menstrual regularity, weight parameters, and laboratory investigations. The outcome highlights the potential role of Ayurveda in the effective management of PCOS.
