Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common hormonal disorders affecting women. While PCOS is often associated with reproductive-age women, it can develop at any stage after puberty, and early detection is crucial for prevention and reversal.

At EliteAyurveda, under the guidance of Dr. Adil Moulanchikkal, we approach PCOS through Ayurvedic root-cause healing, helping women balance hormones naturally without lifelong medications.

When Does PCOS Develop?

PCOS typically manifests during teenage years or early adulthood, but lifestyle factors, genetics, and metabolic imbalances can lead to its development at any stage of life.

“Strii Prameha Lakshanaani Medo Vriddhi, Artava Dushti Cha”
(PCOS symptoms include excessive weight gain and menstrual disturbances.)
— Charaka Samhita

Why Does PCOS Develop?

PCOS is a result of hormonal imbalances that disrupt ovulation and metabolism. Ayurveda identifies three primary causes:

1⃣ Kapha Aggravation & Insulin Resistance

Excess Kapha Dosha leads to slow metabolism & weight gain
Insulin resistance increases belly fat & hormonal imbalances

2⃣ Pitta Imbalance & High Androgen Levels

Elevated testosterone leads to acne, facial hair, & hair loss
Pitta dominance causes irregular cycles & mood swings

3⃣ Vata Imbalance & Poor Digestion

Vata disturbances cause stress, irregular appetite, & gut issues
Weak Agni (digestive fire) leads to toxin (Ama) accumulation

Early Warning Signs of PCOS

Irregular or skipped periods
Excessive facial & body hair growth (hirsutism)
Acne & oily skin
Unexplained weight gain (especially belly fat)
Thinning scalp hair or hair loss
Mood swings & anxiety
Dark patches on the neck & underarms (insulin resistance sign)

If you experience these symptoms, early intervention is key to prevent complications like infertility, prediabetes, and metabolic disorders.

Ayurvedic Approach to Preventing & Reversing PCOS

Unlike modern medicine, which focuses on birth control pills & insulin-sensitizing drugs, Ayurveda treats the root cause of PCOS by balancing hormones, improving digestion, and detoxifying the body.

What is PCOS?

PCOS is a condition in which the ovaries don’t function normally and don’t ovulate regularly, is the result. This causes the formation of an abnormal number of immature eggs that are not matured properly and then turn into cysts. PCOS, known as “polycystic ovary syndrome,” is a hormonal disease that people may get in their childbearing years and it triggers irregular cycles. It will decrease a person’s desire to have children (your doctor will call it your fertility). PCOS is the most common cause of reproductive health problems across all age groups.

Also, it can

1. Causes acne and excess hair on the body.
2. Increased risk of other health conditions, including cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

How do you know if you have PCOS?

PCOS Symptoms include:

• Miscarriage
• Irregular or missing periods
• Infertility
• Elevated body
• Facial hair,
• Increased acne,
• Weight gain,
• Difficulties reducing weight,
• Sleep problems,
• Obesity,
• Male pattern hair loss,
• Gestational diabetes,
• High blood pressure (during birth or delivery),
• Skin marks.

What causes PCOS?

The condition is poorly known, but it occurs as hormones become unbalanced.

• Women with PCOS have increased levels of androgens, the male sex hormones.
• A few hormones that are out of control, including oestrogen, progesterone, and insulin, are also present.
• Due to PCOS, there is an elevated chance of abortion, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.

In India, one in five (20%) women suffer from polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

Ayurvedic Treatment Options

According to Ayurveda, PCOS can be classified into

Nashtaartava

Vishma artava

Pathya (Do’s):

Our Take

PCOS should be taken care of in its early stages. Generally, it isn’t ever diagnosed or it is taken for granted that the disorder is minor. Early diagnosis helps to avert damaged fertility as well as to prevent complications of the disease.

Lifestyle modification is the first therapy that clinicians prescribe for PCOS, which sometimes performs well according to your timeframe and schedule. Diet, yoga or aerobic exercises are two successful ways of reducing weight.
