Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and Polycystic Ovary Disease (PCOD) are both hormonal disorders affecting women of reproductive age.
While PCOS involves excessive androgen hormones leading to irregular periods, hair growth, acne, and weight gain, PCOD is characterized by the development of multiple small cysts in the ovaries.
PCOD's full form is "Polycystic Ovary Disease," known as "Masik Dharm Samasya" in Hindi, which translates to "menstrual problems.
Both PCOS and PCOD share symptoms like irregular periods, excessive hair growth, acne, weight gain, and infertility.
PCOD may cause lower abdominal pain, which is not a common symptom of PCOS.
PCOD is prevalent in India and can lead to health issues like diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol, often impacting mental health as well.
Both PCOS and PCOD can lead to severe health problems, including infertility, diabetes, heart disease, and in the case of PCOS, endometrial cancer.
Treatment for both conditions may involve lifestyle changes, medications, fertility treatments, and occasionally surgery, depending on the severity of symptoms and individual goals.
There is no permanent cure for PCOS or PCOD, but symptoms can be managed with a combination of lifestyle changes and medications.
Diagnosis involves a physical exam, medical history review, blood tests to measure hormone levels, and imaging tests like ultrasounds to examine the ovaries for cysts.
