Polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD / PCOS) is a hormonal disorder in which the ovaries develop many small cysts and ovulation becomes irregular. It is one of the commonest causes of menstrual irregularity and infertility in young women.
Common signs
- Irregular, scanty or absent periods

How homoeopathy approaches it
Rather than suppressing the symptom alone, a homoeopathic physician studies the whole person — the pattern of complaints, what makes them better or worse, general health, temperament and history — and selects a remedy that matches that individual picture. Treatment aims to raise the body’s own resistance so that relief is lasting and relapses become fewer. Along with the remedy, diet, exercise and weight management play a central role in restoring regular cycles.
