Polycystic Ovary Disease (PCOD)

PCOD is a disorder commonly affecting women of reproductive age, leading to symptoms such as irregular menstruation, weight gain, acne, excessive hair growth, and ovarian cysts. Ms. I.O., a twenty-seven-year-old software developer, visited the Life Force Homeopathy Thane branch (Patient ID: 53172) on 07.12.23 for the treatment of PCOD from which she has been suffering for the last 4 years. She had irregular menstrual cycles, used to get menses once in 2 or 3 months, and had oligomenorrhea which is scanty menses. She had been using homeopathic medications for two years, which helped her with her irregular periods. The treatment went well while she was taking them. After stopping homeopathic treatment, she stopped getting periods, and when she saw us, she complained of facial acne during her monthly cycle, which got worse as her periods drew near. Before and after her period, she had mood swings. She also complained of bloating and constipation, along with menstrual irregularities.
