Infertility (PCOD)

PCOD (Poly cystic ovarian disease)

Menstrual dysfunction if not treated properly and in the beginning leads to complications like ‘PCOD’, so be careful and don’t let your minor symptoms neglected helping progress of diseases in you. A woman having irregular periods with weight problems and hair growth on face and body should suspect of PCOD. If the monthly (menses) is missed often get it treated early, better before marriage.

PCOD is an endocrine disorder occurring amongst all races and nationalities. It is the most common hormonal disorder among women of reproductive age, and is a leading cause of infertility; symptoms and severity of the syndrome vary greatly among women. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which can also be known as the Stein-Leventhal syndrome, is a condition that affects the ovaries. The ovaries are found in women, and consist of a pair of glands which are either side of the uterus (womb). The ovaries produce ova (eggs) which are released into the uterus one a month, during the menstrual cycle. Each ovum develops in the ovary from a small swelling called a follicle. Usually, several of these follicles develop each month, but only one will produce a full matured ovum. The ovaries also produce a variety of hormones including the main female hormone, known as oestrogen. The ovaries also produce small amounts of androgens, such as testosterone, which are sometimes called male hormones. Poly Cystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) is usually thought to be a lifetime female hormonal imbalance where maturing eggs fail to be expelled from the ovary, creating an ovary filled with immature follicles (somewhat misleadingly labeled "cysts"). The cysts then contribute to the hormonal imbalance…which causes more cysts… What causes this vicious cycle to start is not well understood, and probably varies from patient to patient: Insulin? Diet? Stress? Fat? Glandular & hormone problems? Are all implicated in the causation. PCOD is most common female infertility cause which should be treated before marriage itself, if menstrual irregularity is noticed. It is the most common ovarian dysfunction / endocrine disorder which affect several women in the reproductive age. Suffering women often have signs and symptoms of menstrual irregularity and weight gain, abnormal hair growth on the face or the body and absent / irregular periods. They have multiple small cysts in their ovaries . These cysts occur when the regular changes of a normal menstrual cycle are disrupted. The ovary is enlarged; and produces excessive amounts of androgen and estrogenic hormones. This excess, along with the absence of ovulation, may cause infertility.  

 Also women with PCOD who conceive have a higher rate of early fetal loss than women without PCOD. PCOD women have fewer chances to conceive, compared to normal women who ovulate every month. Normal women get 12 chances in a year to conceive. But PCOD women hardly get 3-4 chances due to delayed / irregular periods.


No two women are affected by PCOD in exactly the same way. The most common symptoms and indicators of PCOD :

Lack of periods, or extremely irregular periods - In a patient's words "I had perhaps 3 or 4 periods per year at random times except when I was prescribed tablets for withdrawal bleeding and my cycles were artificially regulated for one year. When I went off the drugs the irregularity came right back".
Male body hair patterns - Scalp hair thinning, excess/ rich growth on face (upper lip and chin) & pubic region.
Early development of breast buds.
Male fat storage patterns -- Abdominal storage, rather than standard female pattern on thighs, hips and waist.
If married, history of infertility, despite regular, unprotected intercourse as irregular ovulation reduces the odds of pregnancy each month.
Mid cycle pain indicating painful ovulation – due to the enlargement and blockage of the surface of the ovaries.
Positive Family History - A sister, mother or grandmother with similar symptom.
Adult acne


Investigations: (to confirm or rule out): A combination of classical history, close observation of patient and the following investigations are enough to confirm a case of PCOD

FSH & LH levels with ratio - The levels of FSH & LH vary according to the stage of menstruation, but the ratio FSH-LH should always be < 2. In PCOD we see a ratio of around 4 and above.

Pelvic Ultrasound - Ultrasound shows a honeycomb of partially developed follicles (eggs) coating the ovaries.


No, No. PCOD does not equal infertility. Some women with PCOD have no fertility problem at all. The stress of having such a long named condition may contribute more to infertility than PCOD itself.

In fact, a positive history in either mother or one of the grandmothers proves that fertility is possible. Infertility is just another possible symptom of PCOD. Just like all of the dozen or so possible symptoms, infertility may or may not be present. More than 80% of women with fertility problems caused by PCOD, properly treated and with patience, do bear a healthy child.


 For obese patients with PCOD, weight loss is essential. Increasing physical activity is an important step in losing weight. Aerobic activities such as walking, jogging or swimming are advised. Try to find a partner to do this with.

Homeopathic medicines induce ovulation in a natural way rather than causing forced/artificial menstruation. They go deep in our system curing the condition. By taking homeopathic medicines, ovulation and menstruation are attained naturally and thus you may conceive normally. 

Make sure to eat a fiber rich diet with lot of fresh fruits/ vegetables (citrus fruits, guava, amla, tomato and capsicum; foods rich in iron and Vitamin C). Have more whole pulses, cereals and sprouts.

Avoid sugar , high fat foods (margarine, butter, GHEE, cheese, chocolates, creams, ice-cream, pastries, purees/parathas/kachories/samosas/khastas … etc), processed / canned foods, papad, pickle, and chips.

Avoid strong tea, coffee, pan-masala, GUTKHA, smoking and drinking alcohol. Even if you lose weight, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise, and to give up smoking if you currently smoke.

Keep yourself active by getting involved in activities you enjoy. Drink 5 liters of water daily. Take good rest and regular aerobic exercise.

Patients should be reassured and taught NOT to panic. Surgery is not a permanent fix, it usually only straightens out the hormonal imbalance temporarily (perhaps one year). The downside of surgery is the risk that it could cause adhesions, which will reduce fertility until removed by another surgery, and the small risk of complete ovarian failure due to ovarian trauma.
