Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) or Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) are one and the same thing. It's a hormonal disorder common among women with age groups of 15-45. The female ovaries produce excess amount of male hormone called androgens which causes the hormonal imbalance. This results in irregular menstrual cycle and multiple small cysts are formed in the ovaries. Body weight increases and facial hair come up. In the long run PCOD can cause Diabetes and Heart Disease. PCOD is mostly diagnosed when the female is unable to conceive even after trying for several years after the marriage.

An ultrasound examination can reveal the presence of multiple cysts inside the ovaries. The blood tests for hormonal profile indicates the imbalance in their levels confirming the presence of this disease. PCOS is fairly common and its incidence is on the rise in the women during the reproductive age. This is a genetic condition and runs into families but is also triggered by insulin resistance which in turn is caused by obesity. Obesity is caused by improper diet and lack of physical activity. All these conditions can lead to type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
