PCOD & PCOS

These two (Polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD) & Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)) are the diseases associated with the ovaries.

Multiple cysts that are formed in the ovaries leads to the Poly-cystic ovarian disease (PCOD), these are occurring when the regular changes of a menstrual cycle are disrupted. The ovary is enlarged and produces excessive amounts of androgen and estrogenic hormones along with the absence of ovulation. This may cause infertility. If it is not diagnosed properly, it may lead to obesity and high cholesterol leading to cardiovascular diseases.
