As we very well know PCOD is a disease that is very common in today’s times. Incidence of PCOD in India is about 15%. This means that in every 100 women of reproductive age (on an average, 15 – 45 years of females) 15 of them are likely to suffer from PCOD. This percentage definitely increases in metro cities like Mumbai, Bangalore, and Delhi etc. In the world, it affects about 4% - 20% of the women of reproductive age.
PCOD is one of the few common hormonal problems that women of reproductive age suffer from. Others include Thyroid issues, Diabetes mellitus etc.
When we talk of hormonal problems it is not just related to a particular part of the body but it, for sure, affects your entire system (Here system is the generalized term used for the whole human body). It does not only affect you physically, but emotionally as well as mentally.
Few common symptoms include irregular periods, profuse flow with severe pain, hair growth over unusual places, weight gain etc. Since the disease is an effect of hormonal disturbances it can also lead to difficulty in conception and ultimately to infertility.
Hormones have their action all over the body. And if there is a disturbance of any hormone it undoubtedly affects the whole body. Mentally it might lead to severe mood changes, anxiety, depression, crankiness and much more. Emotionally it can wrench havoc within you. It might also lead to other hormonal diseases as well, especially when you have a family history.
It is better to get it treated as early as possible to avoid future repercussions.
Homoeopathy is handy and very well appreciated in such hormonal cases. You can safely switch to homoeopathy anytime.
It is usually said “the sooner, the better”; same is the case with hormonal problems, and with homoeopathy as well.
Now, a question that arises frequently is how homoeopathy comes to the rescue, in other words, how does homoeopathy help in such cases. Homoeopathy is the only science that considers all the aspects of a person; that is, her physical aspect, mental aspect and emotional aspect. It is important for a homoeopath to know all these aspects of the patient; it helps the physician to understand the patient better and thereby helping the physician to heal the patient. Taking all this into consideration, a medicine is prescribed for the person.
“The body follows the commands of the mind” – so it is the mind that is so sensitive to slight alterations within or outside the body. And therefore, mind is affected in all diseases, be it short – term or long –term. Similar is the case with PCOD also; many patients complaint of severe mood swings, anger, frustration, irritation before their periods. This can be considered as the affection of mind. It is not justifiable that we only consider major alterations like depression or neurosis; minor alterations like these also hold an important value.
And thus the homoeopathic medicine prescribed does the wonders. It heals you from within; it heals up all the wounds and the cracks that are deep-seated. Then this healing is outwardly manifested as cure of diseases. This sort of healing from within without normalizes the imbalanced hormones, limits growth of hair at uncommon places and normalizes your menstrual cycle.
It is not just that the homoeopathic medicines can heal you. The most disturbing symptom of PCOD is excessive weight gain; and many a times it is observed that women lose all their confidence because of two main reasons: obesity and hair growth in unusual places.
So along with the right medications, it is important to modify your diet and routine. It is observed that women suffering from PCOD are usually involved in those kinds of jobs that compel them to sit at one place for prolonged hours. And hence limits their movement. And so it becomes necessary to include few exercises and yoga postures to help you heal better and quicker. One might also include brisk walking in their routine.
Just to bust a myth, if one has already suffered from PCOD it is not that they will never suffer from it again; there are high chances of its recurrence if the diet and routine is not properly followed. To treat PCOD and avoid its recurrence it is highly important to become self-aware and be a bit strict with oneself.
