PCOD ( Polycystic Ovarian Disease), also referred to as PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) by many, is a hormonal disorder that occurs in females generally due to the presence of significant amounts of androgens, which are male hormones.
When the body is insulin resistant, it isn’t able to properly utilize the insulin produced to control the sugar level in the body. This causes the production of more insulin, which in turn causes the ovaries to produce androgens.
Early diagnosis and treatment along with weight loss may reduce the risk of long-term complications such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
PCOD is a blend of hereditary as well as ecological factors. Threat elements consist of weight problems, irregular menstrual cycles.
PCOD affects a woman's ovaries, these ovaries also produce a small amount of male hormones called androgens.
Treating PCOD demands lifestyle changes.
According to a research paper published by the School of Medicine, Australia, (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18097891), the food intake must adhere to certain restrictions. The intake of fat as a percentage of the entire food being consumed must not exceed 30%. Carbohydrates must be avoided as they cause additional weight gain and increase the craving for “junk” food.
