PCOD – Polycystic Ovarian Disease
What is PCOD?
PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease) is a common hormonal disorder among women of reproductive age. In PCOD, the ovaries produce multiple immature or partially mature eggs which may develop into cysts. This leads to hormonal imbalance, irregular periods, weight gain, acne, and fertility issues.
Unlike PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), PCOD is more about irregular ovulation and less severe hormone disruption, but both share similar symptoms.
Common Symptoms of PCOD
Irregular or missed periods
Excess facial or body hair (hirsutism)
Acne and oily skin
Weight gain, especially around the abdomen
Hair thinning or hair loss (scalp)
Mood swings and anxiety
Difficulty conceiving (infertility)
Causes of PCOD
Hormonal imbalance (especially excess androgens)
Insulin resistance
Poor diet and sedentary lifestyle
Chronic stress
Genetics and family history
Obesity or rapid weight gain
