Suggest medicines(Both in Allopathy & Homeopathy) for the treatment of PCOD?

Poly Cystic Ovary

PCOD produce lot of effects - so u need gr8 care and may diet changed and change in life style in addition to medicine

Allopathic give birth control pills - and there are surgical management too - where the cysts are broken

Homoeopathy - u need to take constitutional medicine and med cine depending on ur symptoms - as each person will have some unique set of symptoms - characterising them ie there individuality

what u have to take care is not to increase weight especial - fat around hips and waste - ( happens due to hormonal change)

Avoid - Chicken ( as it is full of hormone - stimulated meat)
Milk - produced from injection of oxytoxin -
Pineapples -as they too are hormone induced

do some good exercise yoga and breathing exercise

hey you kno i suffer from tht and i wud like to kno too. Its like, i have taken medicines thru allo, homeo, naturo everything but once i stop the medicines, i dont get my "ps"
You should consult a doctor. Don't take advice from people on net about such serious matters! Even homeopathy ,although doesnt have side effects , wont be effective unless u consult a proper doc.
This condition creates a high testosterone level in the body and causes severe acne that typical treatments do not fix, problems relating to excess hair growth, and a lot of people with this problem develop type II diabetes.

There is a natural solution to this issue that seems to work in many people.

A protomorphogen extract from Standard Process called Symplex F. Take 1 or 2 tablets per day for one year.

Make up a mix of equal parts of peony root (Paeonia lactiflora) and licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra) and take about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of this 2 to 3 x per day for a maximum of 6 months. You should give this a break for about 1 week every 4 - 6. weeks.

You should eliminate sugars, breads, and cereals from the diet. These items cause the body to produce insulin to oxidize the sugars and insulin and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) are produced as a result. Elevated insulin levels lead to an excess of male hormones.

good luck to you.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS, also known clinically as Stein-Leventhal syndrome), is an endocrine disorder that affects 4% 鈥?7% of women. It occurs amongst all races and nationalities, is the most common hormonal disorder among women of reproductive age, and is a leading cause of infertility. The principal features are lack of regular ovulation and excessive amounts or effects of androgenic (masculinizing) hormones. The symptoms and severity of the syndrome vary greatly between women. While the causes are unknown, insulin resistance (often secondary to obesity) is heavily correlated with PCOS.

Common symptoms of PCOS include:
Oligomenorrhea, amenorrhea 鈥?irregular, few, or absent menstrual periods; cycles that do occur may be heavy (heavy bleeding is also an early warning sign of endometrial cancer, for which women with PCOS are at higher risk)
Infertility, generally resulting from chronic anovulation (lack of ovulation)
Elevated serum (blood) levels of androgens (male hormones), specifically testosterone, androstenedione, and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), causing hirsutism and occasionally masculinization
Central obesity 鈥?"apple-shaped" obesity centered around the lower half of the torso
Androgenic alopecia (male-pattern baldness)
Acne, oily skin, seborrhea
Acanthosis nigricans (dark patches of skin, tan to dark brown or black)
Acrochordons (skin tags) 鈥?tiny flaps of skin
Prolonged periods of PMS-like symptoms (bloating, mood swings, pelvic pain, backaches)
Sleep apnea
Mild symptoms of hyperandrogenism, such as acne or hyperseborrhea, are frequent in adolescent girls and are often associated with irregular menstrual cycles. In most instances, these symptoms are transient and only reflect the immaturity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovary axis during the first years following menarche.
Signs include:
Multiple cysts on the ovaries (one form of ovarian cyst). Sonographically they may look like a string of pearls.
Enlarged ovaries, generally 1.5 to 3 times larger than normal, resulting from multiple cysts.
Thickened, smooth, pearl-white outer surface of ovary.
The ratio of LH (Luteinizing hormone) to FSH (Follicle stimulating hormone) is greater than 1:1, as tested on Day 3 of the menstrual cycle.
High levels of testosterone.
Low levels of sex hormone binding globulin.
Hyperinsulinemia.

After appropriate workup and aided diagnoses... the following may be offered as therapeutic options to the patient:
-Medical treatment of PCOS is tailored to the patient's goals. If restoration of ovulation and fertility are desired, then metformin and or clomiphene citrate are indicated. In cases of clomiphene resistance, injections of follicle stimulating hormone may be used. If hirsutism is a primary concern, then oral contraceptives and either cyproterone acetate or spironolactone (a blocker of androgen receptors) are indicated. If the goal is to prevent the unopposed estrogen effect of anovulation, which can lead to endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial cancer, then oral contraceptives or cyclic progestins are indicated.

Low-carbohydrate diets and sustained regular exercise are also beneficial. More recently doctors and nutritional experts are recommending a low-GI diet in which a significant part of the total carbohydrates are obtained from fruit, vegetables and wholegrain sources. These diets help women with PCOS to maintain steady blood sugar and insulin levels and may assist in weight loss. A diet composed of mainly low-GI foods combined with regular exercise will also help to combat the effects of insulin resistance.

Many women find insulin-lowering medications such as metformin hydrochloride (Glucophage庐), pioglitazone hydrochloride (Actos庐), and rosiglitazone maleate (Avandia庐) helpful, and ovulation may resume when they use these agents. Many women report that metformin use is associated with upset stomach, diarrhea, and weight-loss. Such side effects usually resolve within 2-3 weeks. Both symptoms and weight loss appear to be less with the extended release versions. Most published studies use either generic metformin or the regular, non-extended release version. Starting with a lower dosage and gradually increasing the dosage over 2-3 weeks and taking the medication toward the end of a meal may reduce side effects. Though the use of basal body temperature or BBT charts is sometimes advised to predict ovulation, clinical trials have not supported a useful role. It may take up to six months to see results, but when combined with exercise and a low glycemic index diet up to 85% will improve menstrual cycle regularity and ovulation.

Initial research also suggests that the risk of miscarriage is significantly reduced when Metformin is taken throughout pregnancy (9% as opposed to as much as 45%); however, further research is needed in this area.

For patients who do not respond to insulin-sensitizing medications and who wish to achieve pregnancy, there are many options available including, clomiphene citrate to induce ovulation or ART procedures such as controlled ovarian hyperstimulation and IVF. Ovarian stimulation has an associated risk of ovarian hyperstimulation in women with PCOS - a dangerous condition with morbidity and rare mortality. Thus recent developments have allowed the oocytes present in the multiple follicles to extracted in natural, unstimulated cycles and then matured in vitro, prior to IVF. This technique is known as IVM (in-vitro-maturation)

Though surgery is usually the treatment option of last resort, the polycystic ovaries can be treated with surgical procedures such as :
laparoscopic electrocauterization or laser cauterization
ovarian wedge resection (rarely done now because it is more invasive and has a 30% risk of adhesions, sometimes very severe, which can impair fertility) was an older therapy
ovarian drilling
Alternative approaches:
Ian Stoakes, a UK-based scientist has recently claimed some success in treating PCOS through tailored diets; believing that there is a strong link between PCOS, diabetes (and associated diseases) and inflammation caused by the failure of the blood to absorb specific foods.Blood samples are tested to see how they react to different food types to provide the patient with a list of foods they can eat and foods to avoid. Weight loss, alleviation of symptoms and successful pregnancies are claimed for this approach.It however remains a totally unproven approach with no research papers listed in PubMed by Stoakes concerning PCOS.
