Story Of A Woman Having PCOS

During my research on the internet about ‘PCOS treatment in Ayurveda’, I came across an interesting case history about a 27-year old, married woman. She worked in an IT company and was suffering from the absence of menstruation (Amenorrhea) and infertility.

 

She had gained a lot of weight and also suffered from constipation, hyperacidity, hair fall, and hirsutism. She felt depressed due to her prolonged Amenorrhea. All her symptoms indicated Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).

 

She went for Ayurvedic treatment. Her case was studied thoroughly by the Ayurvedic doctor and a treatment plan was made for her. With the help of herbs and therapies, her periods resumed and other symptoms also subsided. She lost her weight and her hair fall reduced.

 

Ayurveda has been successful also for fallopian tube blockage treatment without surgery and many other illnesses.

What Is PCOS?

PCOS is a medical condition that affects a woman’s hormonal order. Women with this medical condition start producing male hormones more than normal. This change causes the absence of periods or irregular periods in women.

 

‘A polycystic ovary’ means that the ovary contains many tiny cysts or sacs. Some women with PCOS have cysts but many don’t. In most of the women who have cysts, they are not harmful and their removal is not required.

 

Hormonal disorder in women may cause other complications such as hair fall, weight gain, facial or body hair growth and, the most disturbing, infertility issues. It may disturb the process of ovulation.

• Irregular or absence of periods
• Cysts in ovary
• Increased level of male hormones

What Are The Causes Of PCOS?

Even the doctors are not sure about the causes behind it. It is assumed that the functioning of the ovaries is obstructed due to the levels of increased male hormones. Insulin resistance, genes, and inflammation are thought to contribute to causing PCOS by increasing a male hormone called androgen.

 

• Insulin Resistance

Studies state that up to 70 percent of women having PCOS are insulin resistant. Insulin resistance means the cells in the body fat, liver and muscles start ignoring or resisting the signals sent by the hormone insulin.

 

• Genes

Women who have a history of PCOS in their families, like mothers or sisters, are at a higher risk. It might be passed through genes.

 

• Inflammation

Women with PCOS often feel an increased inflammation in the body. Inflammation may disturb hormonal order in the body. An excess of inflammation is thought to enhance androgen levels in the body.

 

BEST NATURAL WAYS TO TREAT PCOS

 

There are also available natural and Ayurvedic treatments for PCOS. Such as:

Make Changes In Your Diet

• Use whole foods: whole foods are usually free from preservatives and artificial sugars. These foods are kept as close to their unprocessed and natural state as possible. They aid in hormonal balance. Include whole-grain, vegetables, fruit, and legumes in your diet.

 

• Balance your intake of protein and carbs: Protein and carbs influence your hormones and energy levels. Protein intake stimulates insulin production. Insulin sensitivity can also be improved by consuming unprocessed, carb-foods.

 

• Increase your iron intake: Some women with PCOS bleed more during their menses, which can cause iron deficiency or anemia. In this case, women should take care of themselves with a proper diet rich in iron, vitamin and protein.

 

• Cut down on your caffeine intake: Too much intake of caffeine may cause several health issues such as, raised blood pressure, an increased risk of heart problems, insomnia, dehydration, and insomnia.

Use Supplements

• Chromium: chromium supplements may better your body mass index. They may aid the body in metabolizing sugar, which can help in insulin resistance.

 

• Cinnamon: It is the bark of a cinnamon tree. Studies show that the effects of cinnamon for insulin resistance are often positive.

 

• Calcium and vitamin D: Vitamin D is necessary to your endocrine system. Women with PCOS often have vitamin D deficiency. Calcium and Vitamin D may help you ovulate by improving the irregular periods.

 

• Cod liver oil: This oil is extracted from the liver of an Atlantic fish called cod. It contains Omega-3 fatty acids and also vitamin A and D in high amounts. Omega-3 fatty acids can aid in menstrual regularity.

Adaptogenic Herbs

• Ashwagandha: Also called India ginseng. It is useful in improving symptoms of PCOS and stress by balancing cortisol levels.

 

• Maca root: This herb is useful in boosting libido and fertility. It may balance cortisol levels and other hormones and also stress caused by PCOS.

 

• Licorice root: Glycyrrhizin present in licorice root has several beneficial properties. Licorice root is said to be a good anti-inflammatory. It functions to balance hormones and metabolize sugar.

 

• Holy basil:  Holy basil (tulsi) is also known as “the queen of herbs”. It can give several benefits such as reducing weight, blood sugar and cortisol levels.

 

• Chaste berry: Chaste berry is known to treat infertility issues, pre-menstrual syndrome and other conditions responsible for affecting a woman’s reproductive system.

Other Ways

• Exercise to maintain a healthy weight. Being under/overweight may affect the body’s hormones and other vital functions.

 

• Have good sleeping habits. An appropriate amount of sleep is necessary because it repairs and heals the body and makes the body ready for the next day.

 

• Try Panchakarma treatment for PCOS. Panchakarma can effectively heal several diseases in the body by eliminating toxins from the body.
