Abstract
Introduction: Among women of reproductive age, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine condition marked by insulin resistance, metabolic abnormalities, and hormonal imbalances. Infertility, irregular menstrual periods, acne, hirsutism, and obesity are among the symptoms that this illness frequently causes. Traditional PCOS therapies usually include drugs like insulin sensitizers and oral contraceptives, which can have negative side effects and might not deal with the underlying causes of the condition. This study aims to examine the etiology of PCOS and the effectiveness of natural management techniques in reducing symptoms and enhancing general health outcomes. Aims and Objective: The objective of this study is to comprehend the pathophysiology and underlying mechanisms of PCOS, including hormonal and metabolic factors, assess the effectiveness of natural management strategies, such as dietary changes, herbal supplements, physical activity, and lifestyle interventions, in managing symptoms, investigate the effects of particular diets and lifestyle changes on insulin sensitivity, inflammation, and hormonal balance in PCOS patients, compare natural strategies with conventional treatments to determine the advantages and disadvantages of each treatment, identify research gaps, and suggest areas for future study. Methodology: A thorough examination of pertinent literature, including clinical studies, randomized controlled trials, and meta-analyses published in peerreviewed journals, was a part of the search approach. Studies on the pathophysiology of PCOS, traditional therapies, and natural management strategies were found using databases like PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. Results: The review concentrated on studies conducted within the last 15 years to guarantee that the most recent findings were included. This study intends to shed light on the possible advantages of incorporating natural methods into PCOS care by combining the available data and comprehensive treatment choices. Conclusion: In summary, PCOS is a common and complex disorder that affects women's health worldwide. Effective management requires knowledge of its symptoms, risk factors, and underlying mechanisms. Women can be empowered to manage PCOS better and enhance their general well-being by emphasizing a holistic approach that incorporates lifestyle changes and natural therapies.
