Role of Yoga in Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome: A Healthy Step to Fight with Hormonal Imbalance
Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is the most common endocrine disorder in reproductive age women. PCOS is characterized by high levels of androgens (male hormones such as testosterone) from the ovaries and is associated with insulin resistance. PCOS is both a psychosomatic and lifestyle disorder. There is a strong relation between obesity, stress and PCOS. Approximately 50-60 % of women with PCOS are obese. Obesity and stress disturbs normal hypothalamo-pituitary-ovarian axis which leads to insulin resistance and produces a stage of hyperandrogenism due to which somatic symptoms of PCOS like hirsutism, anovulation, abnormal menstruation, sub fertility, acne and psychic symptoms like anxiety, depression, insomnia, loss of concentration etc develops. Weight loss of 5% to 10% may dramatically improve endocrine profile of PCOS. The first step in management of PCOS is to get rid from obesity and stress. Yoga is a complete prescription for the healthy body and mind which can destroy the root cause of PCOS i.e., obesity, insulin resistance and stress. Surya Namaskara, Paschimottanasana, Bhujangasana, Shalabhasana etc. helps in weight reduction and excretion of toxins from the body. Stress can easily be tackled through meditation, Pranayamas, relaxing Yoga posture like Shavasana, Makarasana. Regular practice of Yoga helps in management of stress and reduction of weight, which normalize the function of hypothalamo-pituitary-ovarian axis.
