Ayurvedic Treatment for PCOS: Restore Hormonal Balance & Boost Fertility Naturally

PCOS Treatment in Ayurveda

Are your periods irregular? Struggling with acne, weight gain, or fertility issues? You may be experiencing PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome). At Adyant Ayurveda, we combine classical Ayurvedic wisdom with modern diagnostics to treat the root cause of PCOS, regulate cycles naturally, and improve overall hormonal and reproductive health.


What is PCOS?

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal and metabolic disorder affecting 1 in 10 women globally. It is characterized by:

  • Irregular or absent periods

  • Hyperandrogenism (excess male hormones causing acne, facial hair, or hair loss)

  • Polycystic ovaries on ultrasound

PCOS can lead to:

  • Weight gain and obesity

  • Insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome

  • Infertility

  • Mood changes (anxiety, depression)

  • Long-term risks: Type 2 diabetes, endometrial hyperplasia, cardiovascular complications


Causes of PCOS

Modern Medical Viewpoint

  • Genetic Predisposition: PCOS often runs in families

  • Insulin Resistance: Leads to androgen excess and ovulation issues

  • Hormonal Imbalances: Elevated LH, low FSH disrupts ovulation

  • Chronic Inflammation: Contributes to cyst formation and hormonal imbalance

  • Environmental Endocrine Disruptors: Chemicals like BPA and AGEs worsen PCOS

Ayurvedic Perspective

  • Dosha Imbalance: Primarily Kapha-Vata, sometimes involving Pitta

  • Disturbed Agni: Weak digestion → Ama (toxins)

  • Obstruction in Artavavaha Srotas: Reproductive channels blocked

  • Dhatu Dushti: Rasa, Rakta, Meda, and Artava

Plain-language Ayurvedic terms:

  • Artava Kshaya: Low menstrual flow

  • Anartava / Arajaska: Amenorrhea/absence of periods

  • Vandhya: Infertility

  • Granthibhuta Artava: Ovarian cysts

  • Medoroga: Obesity-related disorders

PCOS Complications & Long-term Risks

  • Reproductive: Infertility, irregular ovulation, endometrial hyperplasia/cancer risk

  • Metabolic: Obesity, Type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia

  • Cardiovascular: Hypertension, increased risk of heart disease

  • Psychological: Anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, sleep disturbances


Diagnostic Criteria for PCOS

Rotterdam Criteria

Diagnosis requires any two of the following:

  • Irregular or absent ovulation

  • Signs of hyperandrogenism (acne, hirsutism, hair loss)

  • Polycystic ovaries on ultrasound

Lab & Imaging Investigations

  • LH/FSH Ratio > 2.5

  • Elevated Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH)

  • 17-OH Progesterone to rule out CAH

  • Elevated insulin, testosterone, and other androgens

  • Ultrasound: “string of pearls” pattern

Differential Diagnosis

  • Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH)

  • Cushing’s Syndrome

  • Hypothyroidism

  • Hyperprolactinemia

  • Androgen-secreting tumors


Ayurvedic Pathogenesis (Samprapti) of PCOS

  • Agnimandya: Weak digestion → Ama accumulation

  • Kapha Aggravation: Blocks Artavavaha Srotas → menstrual irregularities

  • Vata Obstruction: Causes ovulation failure

  • Meda Dhatu Accumulation: Leads to cyst formation and obesity

  • Pitta Vitiation: Triggers inflammation & hormonal disturbances

Q1. Can PCOS be cured permanently with Ayurveda?

While PCOS is considered a chronic condition, Ayurvedic treatments can help manage the root cause by detoxifying the body, balancing hormones, improving ovulation, and regularizing cycles. Long-term commitment to Ayurveda can help reverse symptoms naturally.

Results vary based on body type, severity, and adherence. On average, most patients see positive changes within 1–3 months with consistent treatment, diet, and Panchakarma support.

Not always. Panchakarma is recommended in moderate to severe PCOS or when there is ama (toxin) accumulation, obesity, or metabolic resistance. Mild cases may respond to internal medication and lifestyle correction alone.

When supervised by a qualified Ayurvedic physician, treatments are safe and natural. Self-medication is discouraged. Herbs and therapies are personalized according to your constitution.

Yes. Ayurvedic protocols like Rasayana therapy, ovulation-stimulating herbs (e.g., Latakaranj, Shivlingi), and Panchakarma therapies have shown excellent results in restoring fertility and natural conception.
