Abstract

Polycystic ovarian syndrome is a systemic metabolic and endocrine disorder. The main causes of oligo/amenorrhea, hirsutism, obesity, and enlarged ovaries with numerous tiny cysts and thick tunica, which results in anovulation, are hyperinsulinemia and hyperandrogenemia. A few disorders in the Yoni Vyapad, Artava Dushti and Jatiharini group in Ayurveda resemble this entity in some ways, but Pushpaghni Jatiharini as described by Acharya Kashyap has a striking resemblance. According to Ayurveda, PCOS can be managed with Samshodhana Chikitsa and lifestyle modification. It can be prevented by adhering to Dincharya and Ritucharya, using Pathya Aahara, Vihara, and Aushadha, as well as by avoiding Apathya Aahara, Vihara, Prajnaparadha, Mandagni, and overindulging in sweets. And other etiological elements like Kaphavardhaka Aahar, absence of love and others. Therefore, lowering Kapha, adjusting insulin, eliminating obstructions, and using Aushadha, Aahara and Vihara can aid in the prevention and treatment of PCOS.
