Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Medical Astrology

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS/PCOD) is a disorder that can affect a woman's menstrual cycle, ability to have children and hormones etc. The cause of PCOS/PCOD is unknown; insulin resistance, diabetes, and obesity are all strongly correlated with PCOS.

The common symptoms are related to lack of ovulation, hormonal imbalance and insulin resistance include irregular or absent menstrual periods, obesity, especially around the waist and abdomen, acne and hair growth and is a leading cause of infertility.

In PCOS, due to the hormone imbalance, slightly more androgens (male sex hormones) are produced and this may stop ovulating and lead to several types of pregnancy problems including infertility, repeat miscarriages,diabetes, blood pressure and sleeping problems etc.
