PCOS i.e. Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is a very common hormonal syndrome that affects women in the reproductive age group. Delayed or irregular menses, no menses for many months, prolonged menses — these symptoms could be indicative of this endocrine disorder. Besides, weight gain, hair growth on face and acne are very common in PCOS. This condition leads to formation of cysts in the ovaries of the affected woman and causes an increase in male hormones. It is one of the leading causes of female infertility.
There is an excellent scope to treat PCOS in homeopathy. Homeopathic treatment along with lifestyle changes like managing weight and diet can bring great recoveries in PCOS cases. PCOS results from an imbalance of hormones like LH (Luteinizing hormone) and FSH (Follicle stimulating hormone) leading to excessive androgen (male sex hormones) production hence causing symptoms like weight gain, irregular periods, acne, hirsutism, and hair fall. Homeopathic medicines help to treat PCOS by working to set right the hormones that are out of balance, boosting metabolic rate and hence regularising the menstrual cycle and managing its other symptoms. Homeopathic medicines also have the capability to help cases of infertility that are linked with PCOS.
Homeopathic medicines dissolve the cysts in ovaries
Homeopathic medicines have a great potential to dissolve cysts in ovaries. However, it is a time-consuming process that can take several months. It requires proper homeopathic treatment following the protocols as suggested by the homeopathic physician with timely clinical follow ups for the prescribed duration of treatment.
Natural, safe and effective treatment
Homeopathy offers a natural, effective, and safe option to treat PCOS. In the conventional mode, usually contraceptive pills and metformin are given for managing PCOS which may lead to dependency and may have harmful side effects hence making the condition more complex to treat. On the other hand, homeopathy is a great alternative for treating PCOS in the safest, gentlest way that neither has side effects nor does it carry any risk of dependency.
Constitutional treatment
To treat a patient in homeopathy suffering from any disorder including PCOS a path of constitutional treatment is followed. Such treatment focuses on correcting the basic underlying disturbance going inside the body and not merely the signs and symptoms of the disease. This way it leads to cure rather than temporary symptom management. Now what is constitutional treatment? It refers to treatment based on summing and evaluating the physical, emotional, and mental makeup of the patient that provides them with their personality. Constitutional treatment works as a stimulus for the person’s innate healing potential to self-heal. There are numerous medicines in homeopathy to treat PCOS cases, but among these, treatment with medicines selected as per the patient’s constitution is what will help cure PCOS.

Causes Behind PCOS
The exact cause of PCOS is still not clear. There are a few factors however that are believed to play a role in it.
1. It is considered a disease of genetic origin. A woman with a positive family history of PCOS is at a higher risk of developing the same.
2. The main factor is the excessive production of the male hormone androgenby the ovaries.
3. Next is insulin resistanceand excess of insulin (a hormone produced by pancreas that helps body cells to use sugar for energy). In case cells get resistant to insulin, then there is an increase in blood sugar levels. This makes the pancreas produce more insulin. The excessive insulin in turn triggers ovaries to produce more androgen.
4. Another factor is low-grade inflammationdue to high androgen levels.
5. Weight gain, obesity and an inactive lifestyleare other contributory factors.
Signs And Symptoms Of PCOS
1. Menstrual problems: They include
a) Irregular periods that occur from the absence of ovulation due to which the lining of the uterus is not shed every month.
b) Delayed periods, amenorrhea (absence of menses for three or more consecutive months). Females with this may have less than eight periods in a year.
c) Scanty menses
d) Heavy periods. As the periods do not occur regularly, it results in the building up of uterine lining for long. When the periods occur, they can be heavier than normal.
2. Hirsutism: It means excess hair growth on the faceor other unusual parts of the body. The hair growth may occur on the belly, chest, and back. Hirsutism is due to raised male hormone levels.
3. Acne/pimples may occur due to elevated male hormones that cause skin to become oily. Acne may occur on the face, chest, and back.
4. Hairfall, hair thinning
5. Tendency to gainweight (it is noted in around 80% of these cases) and obesity
6. Skin darkening may appear especially in body folds like the groin, under the breast, armpits, and neck.
7. Mood swings, irritability, and headache may be complained by some from hormonal changes.
These signs and symptoms will have to be supported by hormone tests and other medical investigations for proper diagnosis of PCOS.
How to diagnose PCOS?
In cases where signs and symptoms point towards PCOS, the main first test advised is an ultrasound of the pelvis. In PCOS cases Ultrasound will show the presence of cysts (fluid-filled sacs) in ovaries with the enlargement of ovaries. Next recommended are hormone tests to get to know about hormonal imbalance. These tests are blood tests including FSH (Follicle stimulating hormone), LH (luteinizing hormone), androgens, prolactin, and progesterone.
What Are Its Complications?
The first and very common complication that can arise is infertility (this is because women with PCOS do not have ovulation regularly and as a result, eggs are not released to be fertilized). The second complication that can occur is Type 2 diabetes. The third complication is metabolic syndrome (a combination of conditions that includes high blood sugar, high blood pressure, high LDL, and low HDL). Other complications are miscarriage and premature birth, anxiety, depression, and eating disorders.
Pathophysiology Of PCOS
In PCOS, the ovaries of a woman and ovulation are affected. The ovaries are a pair of reproductive organs in women that produce eggs (ovum). The ovaries also produce hormones named estrogen, progesterone, and a small amount of male hormones known as androgens. The ovaries release an egg every month. The process of releasing an egg from the ovary is known as ovulation. Ovulation occurs around the 14th day of a 28-day menstrual cycle. The ovulation is under control of hormones FSH – Follicle stimulating hormone and LH – luteinizing hormone. Among these, FSH controls follicle (sac-containing egg) production by the ovary and maturation of the egg and surge of LH triggers the release of a mature egg from the ovary.
In the case of PCOS, there is an increase in androgen (male hormone) level. This inhibits the production of hormones by ovaries and the normal development of an egg. In PCOS, fluid-filled sacs/ immature follicles in ovaries that contain an immature egg develop and ovulation doesn’t occur. The absence of ovulation results in altered levels of estrogen, progesterone, FSH, and LH. Additionally, levels of progesterone are low in cases of PCOS.

Please help.
I’m 18 diagnosed with pcos , multiple cysts on ovaries, excess hair on upper lip and growing in rest of face slowly but surely, side burns developing. Thick hair on abdomen starting to spread out towards edge of stomach – getting darker and thicker gradually. Also noticeable darker hair on my back (worse at bottom). Bottom covered in hair that is gradually darkening. Legs course hair especially on shin/calves/knees.. Hair continuous to grow all the way up to bikini line which is very course. Hair growing on chest/breats also getting noticeably darker and thicker. Hair on arms is dark and getting longer and gradually courser.. Runs into hands. Also fingers,toes and feet.. Especially course on toes and feet.
I don’t have the typical acne like red or inflamed but deep pores on my nose which are clogged and very visible, started to get more noticeable clogged pores elsewhere such as chin and between eyebrows and forehead. Sometimes my neck looks ‘dirty’ or dark with some darker rings even just after shower and scrubbing.
Periods have never been on the dot. Only had a few periods which have been followed with another period a month after. Usually 2-3 months apart maybe 4.
Doctors finally prescribed some hormonal therapy after changing doctors as blood test did show higher androgen levels. I have been given dinaette which so after about 2 months I haven’t seen any improvement. Breasts are very sore and grown slightly.
I want to be completely free of artificial hormones if possible. I try to eat well , few carbs as poss cutting out dairy as much as poss as well as wheat/gluten. Try do eat paleo style as much as possible. And lots of spring water.
Please could you give me a list of how much and what to take which will cure all my excess hair and prevent new growth?
