From Ayurvedic point of view, PCOD reflects vitiation of rasa and rakta dhatus. When levels
\nof impurities and toxins increase in rasa and rakta dhatus, body stores them in form of cysts
\naround ovaries. So presence of multiple cysts indicate high levels of impurities and toxins in
\nthese dhatus. Sign and symptoms in PCOD patients suggest imbalance of all three doshas.
\nDhatwagnimandya may also exist in some patients. History of improper diet and lifestyle is
\ngenerally found among majority of PCOD patients. Excessive consumption of hormonal pills
\nand contraceptive pills too is reported by many patients. Mental stress and lack of physical
\nexercise are marked among quite a few ladies with PCOD. From Ayurvedic perspectives, all
\nthese things can produce toxins in body and cause diseases like PCOD.<\/p>\n
Polycystic ovarian disease is a gynaecological disorder whose prevalence
\nseems to have increased considerably among Indian women in last few years.
\nMany young girls and middle-aged Indian women are suffering from this
\nsyndrome which is a marked by appearance of multiple cysts on ovaries and
\ndisturbances in monthly menstrual cycles.<\/p>\n
The exact cause of PCOD remains unknown to the modern science even as the
\ngenetic link is being scrutinized for its causative role.<\/p>\n
