PCOD (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) management involves a multidisciplinary approach aimed at addressing the hormonal imbalance and associated symptoms. Treatment typically focuses on managing symptoms, regulating menstrual cycles, and reducing the risk of long-term complications such as diabetes and heart disease. Lifestyle modifications, including regular exercise, a balanced diet, and weight management, are often recommended to improve insulin sensitivity and hormone levels.
Additionally, medication may be prescribed to help regulate menstrual cycles, reduce androgen levels, and manage symptoms such as acne and hirsutism. Birth control pills may also be used to regulate periods and lower the risk of endometrial cancer. In some cases, fertility medications may be prescribed to help women with PCOD conceive. PCOD management requires individualized care tailored to each woman's specific symptoms and needs, with ongoing monitoring and adjustments to treatment as necessary to achieve optimal outcomes.
