OVERVIEW

What is PCOS?

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine condition affecting women of reproductive age. It involves hormonal imbalance (often raised androgens), irregular menstrual cycles, anovulation and metabolic issues like insulin resistance. At Stree Vaidya we address the underlying imbalances using Ayurvedic diagnostics, herbal formulations, detoxification and lifestyle modification to restore regularity and improve fertility and metabolic health.

A holistic, evidence-informed Ayurvedic approach tailored to your body and needs.

  • Individualized herbal protocols
  • Detox and Panchakarma where indicated
  • Diet, exercise and stress management plan

Common Symptoms of PCOS

Symptoms differ between individuals; treatment is customized based on prakriti and present imbalance.

  • Irregular, infrequent or missed periods
  • Difficulty conceiving due to anovulation
  • Weight gain, especially central (abdomen)
  • Excess facial/body hair (hirsutism) and hair thinning
  • Acne, oily skin and skin tags
  • Fatigue, mood swings and sleep disturbances
  • Signs of insulin resistance (darkening of skin folds, cravings)
  • Multiple small ovarian follicles seen on ultrasound

Causes & Contributing Factors

PCOS is multifactorial — genetics, metabolic and lifestyle factors interact with stress and digestive imbalances.

The condition is associated with insulin resistance, increased ovarian androgen production, and low-grade inflammation. In Ayurveda, imbalance of kapha and vata with impaired agni and accumulation of ama are important contributors. Sedentary lifestyle, processed foods, chronic stress and disrupted sleep worsen the condition.

  • Insulin resistance and hyperinsulinaemia
  • Hyperandrogenism (elevated male hormones)
  • Genetic predisposition
  • Poor diet, excess refined carbohydrates and sugars
  • Chronic stress, poor sleep and low physical activity

Ayurvedic Treatment Approach at Stree Vaidya

Our goal is sustainable hormonal balance, improved metabolic function and restored fertility.

What the treatment includes

  • Assessment: Complete case evaluation including menstrual history, lifestyle, body composition and relevant reports.
  • Detox & Panchakarma: Virechana, mild basti therapies and internal cleansing where indicated to remove deep-seated toxins.
  • Herbal medicines: Rasayan and hormone-balancing formulations to support ovulation and metabolism.
  • Dietary plan: Low-glycemic, anti-inflammatory meal plans with portion control and digestive support.
  • Lifestyle & yoga: Daily routines, pranayama and targeted yoga to reduce stress and improve insulin sensitivity.
  • Monitoring: Regular follow-ups with hormonal and metabolic tests to adjust therapy.

Timeline & expectations

Early symptomatic relief (energy, acne reduction, better sleep) may occur in weeks. Restoration of regular cycles and ovulation generally takes 3–6 months depending on severity, age and adherence to treatment and lifestyle changes.

Diet & Lifestyle Recommendations

Small consistent changes produce lasting benefits — focus on whole foods, movement and sleep hygiene.

  • Include whole grains, millets, legumes, vegetables and moderate fruit intake.
  • Reduce refined carbs, sweets and sugary beverages; prefer complex carbohydrates.
  • Eat warm, cooked meals and support digestion with spices like cinnamon and cumin if suitable.
  • Regular moderate exercise — brisk walking, yoga and strength training to improve insulin sensitivity.
  • Prioritise sleep (7–8 hours) and consistent sleep-wake timings.
  • Stress reduction with pranayama, meditation and short daily routines.

Frequently Asked Questions (PCOS)

Answers to common concerns about PCOS management at Stree Vaidya.

Is PCOS the same as PCOD?

The terms are often used interchangeably. PCOS (syndrome) emphasises the broader hormonal and metabolic features, while PCOD describes ovarian cysts specifically. Clinically both overlap — our treatment addresses the underlying hormonal and metabolic imbalance irrespective of the label.

Can Ayurveda help with weight and insulin resistance?

Yes — Ayurvedic protocols combined with dietary changes, exercise and herbal support are effective in improving metabolism and insulin sensitivity. This often leads to weight reduction and better cycle regulation.

Will I need blood tests and ultrasound?

We recommend baseline tests (FSH, LH, TSH, Prolactin, fasting glucose/insulin) and pelvic ultrasound when available. These help personalise treatment and monitor progress.

Can I pursue pregnancy while on treatment?

Yes. Many patients conceive during or after Ayurvedic treatment when ovulatory cycles are restored. We tailor protocols for women actively trying to conceive and coordinate care as needed.

Are the medicines safe with other treatments?

Herbal medicines used at Stree Vaidya are doctor-prescribed. If you are on other medicines, inform us so we can ensure safe and coordinated care.
