The most prevalent endocrine condition in women is polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos).the clinical presentation of pcos ranges between mild menstrual dysfunction and extreme reproductive and metabolic function disruption. According to modern science, the physiology related to ovulation is controlled by hormones of hypothalamo – pituitary – ovarian axis. This axis is disturbed in pcos. According to ayurveda, patho-physiology involves vitiated doshas i.e. Vata, pitta, kapha and agni – especially dhatwagni. The pathophysiology of pcos is analysed to clarify the precise cause of the disorder in order to prepare therapy for a full cure. Multiple approaches in ayurveda for patho-physiology in polycystic ovarian syndrome. It is evident in conclusion that pcos is an enigma. There is no complete understanding of its fundamental pathophysiology as per modern science. No therapy is a panacea, as therapies have so far been targeted at the symptoms but not at the syndrome itself.
