Medical(4): what does actually ‘PCOD’ means?

PCOD is one of the most common ailment usually seen in the urban females. The word PCOD– is a acronym for the disease called Polycystic Ovarian Disease.


It occurs in the females, when they fail to ovulate(human egg) during their normal monthly menstrual cycle, they tend to form the cysts in the ovaries.

Usually the female should visit a doctor, when she presents with any of the symptoms like:

  • Irregular periods.
  • Growth of body hair like facial hair, etc..,
  • Weight gain.
  • Thinning of hair.
  • Back pain…..and so on

PCOD occurs due to hormonal imbalance due to high stress levels, sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy diet.

If PCOD, is left untreated it can lead to infertilitydiabetes mellitus, and several heart problems.

It is one of the curable disease by  regular exercise, a healthy diet, hormonal pills prescribed by physician, and  meditation/ yoga to control the stress levels.
P.S…..Eat healthy, stay fit.
