What is PCOD?

PCOD is a hormonal disorder is a hormonal disorder that is common across women of reproductive age. Women with PCOD suffer from a hormonal imbalance that affects their menstrual cycle, fertility and sometimes leads to physical changes such as more body hair, acne and weight gain. PCOD in women is extremely common and if it’s not addressed in time, it can lead to future complications, especially during pregnancy. Hence, it is well recommended for females to get their PCOD blood tests to avoid unnecessary health risks. In PCOD, the ovaries release immature follicles which turn into cysts. And in many cases, the body also releases more androgens which further affect the hormonal balance in the body. About 20% of women in India today suffer from this condition. The condition is seen in young adolescent girls, women during their reproductive age group and also post-menopause. In this time of a pandemic, it is also highly recommended to consider taking a COVID antibody RTPCR test regularly for safety and assurance, at the comfort of your home and accurately on MFine. This is available in Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Pune, Gurgaon and Hyderabad.

What is the difference between PCOS and PCOD in women?

PCOS and PCOD in women are commonly interchangeable. However, there is a slight difference between the two. PCOS is a much more serious condition as compared to PCOD, which can be managed through lifestyle changes. PCOS is a metabolic disorder, whereas PCOD in women is more of a lifestyle condition that can be managed through a well-balanced diet and exercise. The problem, however, is that many women don’t know that they have PCOD. You need to watch out for signs of PCOD and get yourself tested to find out. MFine offers the option to get a PCOD test at home city_name_label via the MFine App. You can also consult a gynecologist to have a better understanding of PCOD in women.

PCOD in women primarily affects a woman’s ovaries which produce the female reproductive hormones – estrogen and progesterone. These hormones are responsible for regulating the menstrual cycle and ensuring that you get your cycle on time. However, the ovaries also produce small quantities of male reproductive hormones or androgens such as testosterone. It is when your body starts producing androgens in excess, it causes a hormonal imbalance which, in turn, develops into PCOD. PCOD problems in women are seen in both the ovaries and the process of ovulation. Ovulation is a process in which the ovaries release eggs every month. PCOD affects this process and can cause a delay in egg release, release immature follicles or cause irregular ovulation. A gynaecologist will conduct a PCOD diagnosis to understand your symptoms better and accordingly suggest a course of treatment – including medication and a PCOD specific diet.

What are the commonly seen causes & symptoms of PCOD in women?

There are several PCOD causes and PCOD symptoms which you need to be aware of, in case you suffer from the condition. Below are 3 main causes of PCOD in women: – Ovarian cysts – Increased levels of male hormones – Genetic factors As the name suggests, polycystic ovarian disorder means that several small cysts or sacks containing eggs grow inside the ovaries. They contain immature eggs which when released leads to ovulation. But if the eggs are never released, it causes irregular and missed menstruation. This, in turn, affects levels of hormones namely progesterone, LH, FSH and estrogen.

Here are some common symptoms of PCOD in women

Irregular menstruation – If you’re not getting your periods regularly every month, it’s a good idea to see a gynaecologist and get a PCOD test done at the earliest
Heavy bleeding during menstruation – Since you only get your periods once in a while, its common to experience heavy or excessive bleeding when you do get it
Hair growth – One of the most common PCOD symptoms. Also known as hirsutism, a large percentage of women with PCOD have hair growth on their face, back and belly. Hair growth is a PCOD sign to look out for.
Acne problems – Hormonal changes commonly affect the skin too. Your skin may feel oilier and you may experience acne on your face, back and even arms.
Weight gain – An almost inevitable corollary of PCOD. Most women who show PCOD signs are overweight or obese.
Skin darkening – Occurs in some women as a PCOD symptom, especially under body creases such as the neck and under breasts.

These are some common PCOD causes and symptoms. PCOD problems in women vary based on the stage and body type of the person. Women with PCOD are also often insulin resistant. Basically, their body can produce insulin properly, but cannot use it as effectively. This puts PCOS women at a higher risk for Type-1 diabetes. Women who are obese and have high cholesterol levels have a higher chance of experiencing more severe symptoms of PCOD.
