PCOD Treatment in Punjab, Bathinda
PCOD Treatment in Punjab – Expert Care at Gem Hospital & IVF Centre
Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD), also known as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), is a common hormonal disorder affecting women of reproductive age. It can lead to irregular periods, excess androgen (male hormone) levels, and ovarian cysts. PCOD can impact fertility, cause weight gain, acne, and excess hair growth, but with proper management, women can lead a healthy life. At Gem Hospital & IVF Centre, we offer comprehensive and personalized treatment plans to help manage PCOD symptoms and improve fertility.
What is PCOD?
Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) is a widespread hormonal disorder that impacts a large number of women during their reproductive years. It is primarily characterized by the development of multiple small, immature follicles or cysts in the ovaries, which interfere with normal ovulation. This hormonal imbalance often results in irregular or missed menstrual cycles, excess androgen (male hormone) production, and ovulatory dysfunction, making it difficult for women to conceive naturally.
In addition to reproductive issues, women with PCOD may experience a variety of other symptoms such as unexplained weight gain, persistent acne, excessive facial or body hair (hirsutism), scalp hair thinning, and oily skin. These symptoms not only affect physical health but can also impact a woman’s self-esteem and emotional well-being.
PCOD vs PCOS – What’s the Difference?
Though used interchangeably, PCOD and PCOS are not the same. PCOD is more common and caused by hormonal imbalances and lifestyle factors, while PCOS is a more severe metabolic disorder with greater implications on fertility and health. Both, however, need proper diagnosis and treatment.
