Siddha Care for
PCOD
Know About
PCOD/PCOS
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), also known as Polycystic Ovarian Disorder (PCOD), is a condition that affects the normal functioning of the ovaries in women of reproductive age. In PCOD, the ovaries may produce multiple immature follicles that do not develop or release eggs regularly, leading to irregular ovulation and menstrual cycles. The condition is commonly associated with hormonal and metabolic imbalance and may present with symptoms such as irregular periods, acne, excessive facial or body hair growth, weight gain, hair thinning, and difficulty conceiving. If left unmanaged, PCOS/PCOD may also increase the risk of long-term reproductive and metabolic complications. In Siddha medicine, PCOS/PCOD is understood as a disturbance of Mukkuttram, particularly Vali and Iyyam. Siddha management focuses on restoring humoral balance through individualized medicines, Pathiyam, lifestyle modifications, and supportive therapies to promote menstrual health and overall well-being.
