Polycystic Ovarian Disease or PCOD is a hormonal condition characterised by ovaries producing immature eggs in large quantities. The eggs remain undeveloped within the ovaries, appearing as multiple cysts. This enlarges the ovaries and triggers hormonal imbalances, which often present as acne, excess hair on the face, and irregular cycles.
Along with these hormonal disturbances, PCOD may also increase the chances of:
- Developing diabetes
- Experiencing fertility issues
- Persistent acne breakouts
- Excessive or unusual hair growth
