Understanding PCOS: Homoeopathic Treatment and Lifestyle Management

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent hormonal disorder affecting millions of women worldwide. Despite its prevalence, PCOS often goes undiagnosed, leaving many women struggling with its symptoms and implications for fertility and long-term health. Here, we delve into the key facts, clinical cases, and promising treatments for PCOS, particularly focusing on homoeopathic approaches and lifestyle management strategies.

Key Facts about PCOS

  • PCOS affects 8–13% of reproductive-aged women, with up to 70% remaining undiagnosed globally.
  • It is the commonest cause of anovulation and a leading cause of infertility among women.
  • PCOS is associated with various long-term health issues impacting both physical and emotional well-being.
  • There are ethnic variations in how PCOS manifests and affects individuals, though it often runs in families.

Understanding PCOS

PCOS manifests with symptoms such as irregular periods, hormonal imbalances, excess androgen levels, and ovarian cysts, often making conception challenging. While the exact cause remains unknown, factors like family history and type 2 diabetes increase the risk. Lifestyle changes, medications, and fertility treatments can help manage symptoms, though PCOS itself is a chronic condition with no known cure.
