Gynecological morbidities have experienced an upsurge in India dramatically. The most prevalent issue amongst all others is polycystic Ovary Syndrome, commonly known as PCOS. Approximately, 20% of Indian women are suffering from this ovarian dysfunction. In this medical condition, female ovaries secrete abundant immature or partially developed eggs which transform into cysts over time. Furthermore, the ovaries become enlarged and start producing high amounts of male hormones( androgen). This hormonal imbalance leads to irregular menstrual cycles, abnormal weight gain, and other fertility issues. Numerous risk factors are involved with PCOD incorporating diabetes, facial hair, depression, high cholesterol, acne, and obesity. The most commonly witnessed symptom of PCOD is irregular, heavy, and unpredictable periods. The main causes of PCOD are a vast subject to be researched. But the data collected from scientific research suggests that it may be genetically acquired or developed due to an inactive lifestyle and an unbalanced diet. If ignored, there is a high chance of developing a chronic PCOD condition which may require frequent medical attention.
A permanent cure for this noxious condition is yet to be discovered. The sole way to cope with PCOS is to alter the sedentary lifestyle and practice healthy eating habits. Practicing yoga and exercising regularly can nullify the other risk factors involved. Moreover, a proper diet plan will eradicate the frequent problem of obesity and insulin resistance. Both diabetes and high blood pressure go hand in hand. The presence of any one of them surely indicates the possibility of having the other as well. Thus, it is integral to control this condition to avoid any medical complications subsequently.
Seed Cycling- Due to the absence of a particular and specified treatment for PCOS, various homeopathic practices along with allopathy have come into existence. One such belief is the seed cycling in women struggling with this fatal condition. Eating specific seed combinations during the two most active phases of the menstrual cycle(follicular and luteal) is the basis of the seed cycling process. This is done to maintain a healthy balance of both the female ovarian hormones- estrogen and progesterone. Despite the positive results of this treatment, there are no scientific claims to prove that seed cycling definitely helps. But in most women, there are positive results associated with the Seed cycle practice which helps reverse the PCOD symptoms.
