Let’s jump into the detail of PCOD and its symptoms

PCOD is often referred to as PCOS (Polycystic ovary Syndrome). PCOD disorder is now revolving around numerous young age girls and women; there are several symptoms, which can be experienced by PCOD women. PCOD is a hormone-related syndrome wherein a woman may suffer from a high rise of male hormone (androgen. PCOD symptoms are –

• Gaining weight
• Acne on the face
• Growth of unwanted hair on the chest, back region, or on the face
• Irregular Menstruation cycle
• Have ovarian cysts
• Infertility

So, if you are experiencing hair loss, gaining overweight, and have irregular periods then you must have to be careful, as these signs could be of PCOD syndrome. Women with PCOD issues have more than the normal amount of male hormones- Androgen. This is all the reason why women suffer from irregular periods or skip the menstruation cycle. PCOD may lead to a serious cause (such as cancer) in the end if it is not early treated.

PCOD Problem Treatment

If you are infertile due to the issue of PCOD, then by taking oral contraceptive pills you can do your menstrual cycle regularly in addition, if the menstruation cycle becomes regular then the chances of cancer also become less.

By taking, Aldactone PCOD can be overcome. Aldactone is a water pill, which can reverse the symptoms of excess androgen levels and reduce – the extra and unwanted growth of hair and acne.

Clomid or Clomiphene is that medication that exerts influence on ovulation (egg production). This medication is generally taken by those women who due to PCOD, are unable to conceive and if in the case, of Clomid the matter is not solved then through the method of ART special techniques, women conceive.

Glucophage is another medicine, which is prescribed by the doctor when the female has a diabetic issue.

Live your life in a healthy manner and be in fine fettle position

The last and most important point, which every PCOD women have to keep in mind, is to do proper physical work-out, stretch your body, do at least 30 min exercise once a day, have a balanced diet, say yes to healthy fats, and avoid bad fats like pasta, white bread, etc. Eat tomatoes, and have Salads. Try to eat less at the time of dinner. Complete remove- White Rice, potatoes, and white bread from your diet chart.

See, PCOD can be easily treated, and figure out if the woman notices the symptoms early (like gaining weight, acne and hair loss starts entering in your life, etc) she should rush to the clinic to diagnose the issue and if PCOD disorder came out from the result then No worries! Because this is the world and there is nothing impossible if you have strong willpower to resolve the issue. Weight is the first factor that comes in one of the most common symptoms of PCOD, if the woman with PCOD syndrome loses 10-20% of body fat; doing she is reducing her PCOD symptoms by 60-70%.

So again, would like to say that be on a healthy diet, live fit, do regular exercise, avoid outside foods, and eat fresh fruits in order to make yourself away from not just PCOD disorder but from any other issue too.
