Pcod.. Not A Disease?!

PCOD as said in the title is the acronym of Poly Cystic Ovarian Disease. Almost many Indians including women are unaware of this health condition. PCOD in short is having irregular menstrual cycles and erratic hormone function in the body. PCOD is an ovarian disease and can be effected for women of ages 14-60. Yes!!! PCOD has no pity. Let's see more about this disease.

PCOD is declared in a girl or a women if she's having irregular menstrual cycle and a thyroid functioning problems. This condition is diagonised and declared to a patient using an ultrasound test made on bare stomach and a thyroid test using a blood sample. PCOD can occur on ovary or two named as unilateral or bilateral poly cystic ovarian syndrome. The reason I wanted to discuss over this platform is to create awareness about the condition. Many Indian women doesn't know that they have PCOD.

Now a days, PCOD has become common among studying girls.Yes!! this will be a trauma for them as their hearts are small and they are new to menstruation and they can't take it.PCOD,according to many surveys, has bcome common among urban women. The change inlifestyle, Having improper diets like junk and polluted food, Stress levels because of life situations contribute the problems in PCOD. Genetics also play a factor here. But, My point is that awareness about PCOD has to be given to every girl child in India. In India, where we are free to discuss about menstruation, We have to be aware about the problems related to it.

PCOD has no pity as I said before. It may affect anyone... ofcourse female ..:)).
