Journal Title: Journal of Biological and Scientific Opinion - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 5
Abstract
The PCOD is one of the most frequent endocrine disease in women of reproductive age with a prevalence of 9.13% in Indian population. It leads to menstrual irregularities ranging from amenorrhoea to dysfunctional uterine bleeding, hirsutism, acne and anovulatory infertility. In Ayurveda this condition is not explained as a single disease entity, but given under the headings yonivyapada (genital disorders) and Artava dushti (menstrual disorders).Mainly the clinical features of PCOS can be correlated with Nashtartava and Pushpaghnee jataharini.
