Understanding Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Through Ayurvedic Lens: Bridging Classical Insights with Modern Health Challenges
Abstract: Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is a heterogeneous disorder characterized by excessive androgen production by ovaries. It is a multifactorial and polygenic condition. It is also known as Stein Leventhal Syndrome, also called as hyper androgenic anovulation. The incidence of PCOS is increasing alarmingly since last decade. Incidence is high amongst the women of reproductive age group. It is one out of every fifteen females of reproductive age group. It is now increasingly perceived as disorder of changed life style. There is disturbance of metabolic, endocrine and reproductive functions. Hyperinsulinemia appears to play a key pathogenic role in women with PCOS. Going through our classical texts in detail no direct reference involving the clinical spectrum of PCOS was found; instead, the symptoms were explained as a part of varies diseased conditions in yonivyapadas, aartavdushti, jataharinis. Therefore, it is necessary to postulate an ayurvedic view for PCOS and also its suitable line of treatment.
