Ayurvedic correlation
Ayurveda describes PCOS to have equal involvement of dosha,dhathu and upadhatu.According to Ayurveda this condition cannot be correlated to a single disease but symptoms bear a resemblance to the terminologies defined as
- anartava(amenorrhoea)
- yonivyapath(disorder of reproductive system)
- arjaska(oligomenorrhea)
- vandhya(infertility)
- revathy(anovulatory menstruation)
- ashtartava dushti
- shandi yoni vyapath(amennhorhea due to vata prakopa)
Vata and kapha dosha as well as vishama ahara and vihara leads to reduced digestive fire and causes production of aama.This aama production causes improper enzymatic reactions leading to incomplete metabolism andhormonal imbalance this causes hyperandrogenism ultimately leading to anovulation and amennhorhea and ovarian abnormalities like PCOS.
