What is PCOD?
Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) is a medical condition which affects females of menstrual age. These girls and women are affected by their bodies’ production of immature or partially mature eggs. The main reason why this happens to some females is a hormonal imbalance, but stress, poor / sedentary lifestyle and other factors can also be at play.
What are the symptoms of PCOD?
The main symptoms of PCOD are either no period or irregular periods. In addition women trying to get pregnant may have difficulty with their fertility and conception as their ovulation is either irregular or not happening at all. Females may also find that PCOD causes them weight gain, acne and hirsutism (excessive hair growth) on the face, chest, back and bottom.
What is the difference between PCOD and PCOS symptoms?
PCOD vs PCOS; there can be confusion between PCOD and PCOS but there are distinctions between the two. Simply put PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease) is a medical condition where the female produces immature or partially immature eggs, due to hormonal imbalance, stress and poor lifestyle. Whilst PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) is a metabolic disorder in which a female is affected by a hormonal imbalance in which the ovaries produce abnormal amounts of androgens. PCOS describes the small cysts that form in the ovaries of that female. Sufferers of PCOS can also suffer from fatigue, anxiety and low mood.

Treating PCOD naturally
Lifestyle changes can help treat your PCOD. Mind your stress levels, and manage them. By introducing and giving time for daily exercise, to enjoy fresh air, to relax by meditating, reading or doing something you enjoy can help you manage your PCOD and stress levels. A sedentary lifestyle is also considered a cause of PCOD increasing movement and exercise can really help manage your symptoms.
For PCOD natural treatment keep an eye on your weight as weight gain is a common symptom for females with PCOD. Hormonal imbalance and insulin resistance can make it harder for women to lose weight. By having a balanced diet as part of your PCOD natural treatment and maintaining a healthy weight can help lower insulin and androgen levels. This includes PCOD foods to avoid; limit sugar and carbohydrates which can elevate insulin levels. By taking regular exercise you can keep your blood sugar levels in which will also help you manage your insulin levels.
Eating green leafy vegetables, kale, broccoli and spinach can help your PCOD symptoms. Quality proteins like lentils, beans, omega-rich fish should be eaten regularly. In a study it was found that by regularly eating flax seeds can help if you PCOD because flax seeds have a compound that helps regulate androgen in the body. Cinnamon can also help you manage your PCOD as it helps you regulate blood sugar levels. As part of your PCOD natural treatment use supplementation to maintain good Omega 3 levels in your body this can help menstrual cycle regularity.
Foods to avoid for PCOD
If you have PCOD then avoid PCOD foods that can trigger problems such as sugar and carbohydrates as they can increase your insulin levels, including sweetened fruits.
