ABSTRACT

One of the most prevalent issues, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), affects about 12% of women PCOS can affect a person's menstrual cycle, hormone levels, fertility, and appearance, including balding, acne, balding of the face, obesity, irregular menstruation, amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, and more. Some women could experience depression. Additionally, it is a metabolic issue that impacts multiple bodily systems. The most prevalent endocrinopathy, PCOS, mostly affects women who are of reproductive age and causes insulin resistance and compensatory hyperinsulemia. From an ayurvedic perspective, PCOS and Aarthava Kshaya are connected. Gynecological disorders are primarily described in Ayurvedic texts under the Yonivyapada. It is challenging to pinpoint a precise relationship between PCOS and any particular ailment mentioned in Ayurvedic literature. PCOS symptoms closely match the signs and symptoms of Ayurvedic conditions such Anartava / Nashtarva, Arjaska Yonivyapada, Lohitakshaya Yonivyapada, Vandhya Yonivyapada, Shandi Yonivyapada, Aartava Kashya, and Pushpaghani Jataharini.
