PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease)

Understanding PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease)

Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) is a common hormonal disorder that affects women of reproductive age. It is often confused with PCOS but differs slightly in how it impacts the ovaries and hormones. At Phular IVF Hospital, Muzaffarpur, we specialize in diagnosing and treating PCOD to help women restore their hormonal balance, improve fertility, and lead a healthier life.

What is PCOD?

PCOD occurs when a woman’s ovaries release many immature or partially mature eggs, which over time turn into cysts. This leads to enlarged ovaries, hormonal imbalance, irregular periods, and can interfere with fertility. Unlike PCOS, PCOD is more related to lifestyle and metabolism rather than severe hormonal disruption.

Difference Between PCOD and PCOS

  • PCOD: Ovaries produce immature eggs due to poor lifestyle, stress, or hormonal imbalance. Usually reversible with lifestyle changes.
  • PCOS: A more severe metabolic and hormonal disorder causing excess androgen production and ovulatory dysfunction.

Common Symptoms of PCOD

  • Irregular or missed menstrual cycles
  • Weight gain and difficulty losing weight
  • Acne and oily skin
  • Thinning hair or hair loss from the scalp
  • Excess hair growth on face or body
  • Difficulty conceiving (infertility)
  • Fatigue and mood swings

Causes of PCOD

  • Hormonal imbalance (high levels of androgens)
  • Insulin resistance leading to increased androgen levels
  • Unhealthy diet and sedentary lifestyle
  • Stress and poor sleep patterns
  • Genetic predisposition

Diagnosis of PCOD

  • Blood Tests: To measure hormone and insulin levels.
  • Pelvic Ultrasound: To check for cysts on ovaries and ovarian size.
  • Medical History: Evaluation of menstrual irregularities and symptoms.

Impact on Fertility

PCOD can cause irregular ovulation or absence of ovulation, making conception difficult. However, many women with PCOD can conceive naturally with timely diagnosis, proper treatment, and lifestyle management. For others, fertility treatments such as ovulation induction, IUI, or IVF at Phular IVF Hospital can significantly improve pregnancy chances.

Treatment Options for PCOD

  • Lifestyle Modifications: Healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management.
  • Medications: To regulate menstrual cycles and control hormone levels.
  • Insulin Sensitizers: To reduce insulin resistance and restore ovulation.
  • Fertility Treatments: Customized fertility plans like IVF or IUI for those trying to conceive.
  • Stress Management: Yoga, meditation, and relaxation therapies improve hormonal balance.
