PCOD

I am very much surprised by the sudden increase in the number of cases of PCOD that I encounter in my OPD.Was just wondering ,is it due to changed Lifestyle or increased awareness level of both Patients and doctors.Most of the ladies who are told they have PCOD,they are quite shocked,I intend to tell them 'you are not alone'.Its as common as every 5th woman has this condition.And though it can't be cured,the symptoms can be taken care of with simple lifestyle changes like exercise,health diet and stress management.Ofcourse your gynaecologist can help you with Metformin and Oral contraceptive pills .
