PCOS is a condition associated with many cysts or closed pouches containing fluid or solid material in the ovary.

Though the etiology of this syndrome remains poorly understood it is probably caused by pituitary dysfunction, anovulatary menstrual cycles, androgen excess, obesity or insulin resistance.

The symptoms range from irregular, absent or painful or profuse menstrual periods, infertility, hirsutism [excess body hair], obesity, acne, deeper voice and masculine body shape, Alopecia [hair loss or trimming] to osteoporosis.

According to Modern science the patient has to resort to hormonal replacement therapy, which results in numerous side - effects.

Ayurveda says that this condition is caused by the vitiation of "Apaan Vayu" and "Kapha Dosha" which results in improper functioning of "Artav-vaha strotas" the reproductive channel of the body.

At KARE we treat this condition by Traditional Keralian Ayurvedic treatment, which includes several internal herbal medications and Panchkarma therapy wherein herbal enemas play a major role in reversal of PCOS by balancing the Apaan Vayu. In addition we practice Iyengar Medical Yoga wherein assisted standing, sitting and inverted poses are done along with Ayurvedic Vegetarian Diet under the supervision of our in -house dietitian.
