Understanding PCOD and PCOS
Polycystic Ovary Disorder (PCOD) and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) are among the most common hormonal disorders affecting women today. These conditions arise due to a combination of metabolic dysfunction and hormonal imbalance—especially insulin resistance and excess androgen production.
If ignored, PCOS/PCOD can lead to irregular periods, infertility, acne, weight gain, hair fall, insulin resistance, and increased risk of diabetes and heart disease. Working with a qualified and experienced nutritionist like Dr. Najma Shaikh helps women manage symptoms naturally and holistically.
Many women today prefer a PCOS nutritionist online, as it offers convenience, privacy, and expert guidance from anywhere.
Root Causes
PCOS/PCOD typically develops due to:
- Hormonal imbalance such as elevated LH and testosterone
- Excess insulin stimulating androgen production
- Chronic low-grade inflammation
- High intake of sugar and processed foods
- Sedentary lifestyle habits
- Genetic predisposition
Common Symptoms
Women with PCOS/PCOD may experience:
- Irregular or missed periods
- Difficulty ovulating
- Weight gain around the abdomen
- Acne, oily skin, pigmentation
- Excess facial/body hair or hair thinning
- Fatigue, mood swings, and sleep issues
- Sugar cravings and poor appetite control
If these symptoms persist, online PCOD diet consultation helps identify root causes and correct nutritional deficiencies.
Diagnosis
PCOS is diagnosed using the Rotterdam Criteria, where at least two of the following must be present:
- Irregular or absent ovulation
- High androgen levels (symptoms or blood tests)
- Ovarian cysts on ultrasound
Hormonal panel, fasting insulin, blood glucose, thyroid profile, and pelvic ultrasound are commonly recommended investigations.
