PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease)

PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease) is a common hormonal condition that affects women of reproductive age. It occurs when the ovaries produce higher-than-normal levels of androgens (male hormones), leading to irregular ovulation and the formation of multiple small cysts in the ovaries.

PCOD is one of the leading causes of irregular periods and infertility, but with early diagnosis and proper treatment, most women with PCOD can conceive successfully.

At Matritwa IVF, we offer comprehensive and personalized care for women with PCOD to help them achieve hormonal balance and improve fertility outcomes.

What Causes PCOD?

The exact cause of PCOD is not fully understood, but several factors contribute to its development, including:

• Hormonal imbalance
  
  

• Insulin resistance
  
  

• Genetic predisposition
  
  

• Unhealthy lifestyle and poor diet
  
  

• Obesity or sudden weight gain
  
  

• Chronic stress
  
  

Common Symptoms of PCOD

Symptoms of PCOD may vary from woman to woman and can include:

• Irregular or missed menstrual periods
  
  

• Difficulty in conceiving
  
  

• Excess facial or body hair (hirsutism)
  
  

• Acne and oily skin
  
  

• Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
  
  

• Thinning hair or hair loss
  
  

• Darkened skin patches (especially around the neck)
  
  

How Does PCOD Affect Fertility?

PCOD interferes with normal ovulation. When ovulation does not occur regularly:

• Eggs may not mature properly
  
  

• Hormonal imbalance prevents egg release
  
  

• Fertilization becomes difficult
  
  

With proper medical management and fertility support, ovulation can be restored in many women.

Diagnosis of PCOD

PCOD is diagnosed based on a combination of:

• Detailed medical history
  
  

• Menstrual cycle assessment
  
  

• Hormonal blood tests
  
  

• Pelvic ultrasound showing polycystic ovaries
  
  

• Evaluation of metabolic health
