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
Symptoms of PCOS
| Physical | Metabolic | Emotional |

| Acne & oily skin | Weight gain | Mood swings |
| Excess facial hair | Fatty liver | Low self-esteem |

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.
Q2. How long does it take to see results from Ayurvedic PCOS treatment?
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.
Q3. Is Panchakarma necessary for all PCOS cases?
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.
Q4. Are there any side effects to Ayurvedic treatment?
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.
Q5. Can Ayurveda help with PCOS-related infertility?
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.
