3. Clinically PCOD has became such a common problem
now a days that every 7th or 8th girl appearing in gynac
clinics is having PCOD.
The major concern of the sufferer are irregular/
delayed menses, obesity and infertility.
Most of the pts come to homoeopath after taking long
continued hormonal treatment with temporary/ partial
relief , sometimes they come after surgical removal of
cysts( electro coagulation / laparoscopic laser
punctured of cyst)without much relief in previous
complaints.
Hormonal and surgical management makes the pts
internal equilibrium worst because it works like
suppressive treatment and disease become
complicated and complexed.
This happens because of lack of awareness in general
population regarding scope of hpathy in such cases..
4. Introduction
PCOD was originally described in 1935 by stein
& leventhal as a syndrome manifested by
secondary amenorrhea, hursuitism and obesity
associated with enlarged polycystic ovaries
This complex disorder is characterized by
excessive androgen production by ovaries which
interferes with the growth of ovarian
follicles, therefore PCOD is a state of androgen
excess and chronic anovulation.

Emotions initiate, precipitate and aggravates most of the
illnesses and the root cause of most of the illnesses is related
to exploitation of emotions… in today's modern life social and
psycho-social pressures like grief ,worries, anxiety,jealosy and
stress causes emotional turbulence. Suppression of emotions

35. Conclusion
As per homeopathic philosophy
it is the person as a whole who
is sick even if his/her
particular organ appears to be
sick by the disease. The person
therefore has to be treated
holistically or as per modern
point of view as psycho-
somatically. Such approach not
only removes the effect of
disease/ pathology but also
annihilates the cause of
disease.
