PCOD period problems, if left unmanaged, can seriously affect physical health and psychological well-being. Proper PCOD treatment can help women manage their symptoms of Polycystic Ovarian Disease- regulate their periods, improve their fertility, skin, and general health; and minimize their risk of chronic health complications.

Those who have this hormonal condition need to understand its causes and get their symptoms quickly resolved with the right gynecologist's help and proper PCOD treatment in Mumbai.

Why are Irregular Periods a Classic Symptom of PCOD?

PCOD is a hormonal condition in which the ovaries begin producing multiple, partially mature or immature eggs that, over time, develop into fluid-filled sacs called cysts. This large number of cysts affects the normal ovulation, the release of eggs. Also, the secretion of vital sex hormones- progesterone, estrogen, and androgen.

The multiple cysts and the excess of the androgen hormone disrupt the ovulation. Ovulation happens in the middle of the menstrual cycle and triggers the period that happens around 2 weeks later if a woman does not get pregnant. Thus, the effect on ovulation eventually causes irregular periods. 

The Usually Reported PCOD Period Problems

PCOD-affected women can experience:

• Oligomenorrhea- a menstrual cycle greater than 35 days or around 5-8 times a year

• Very light or heavy periods

• Painful periods

• Sporadic or intermittent periods

• Missed or skipped periods

• Fertility problem because of irregular periods.

Causes Behind PCOD Period Problems

Women can have PCOD due to a combination of factors, including:

• Hormonal imbalance, such as androgen excess affecting ovarian function

• Insulin resistance that may disrupt hormonal balance

• Weight changes and a detrimental lifestyle

• Poor sleep pattern or stress

• Family history of PCOD.

A thorough consultation with a gynecologist can only help women with PCOD identify the root of the problem.
