PCOS and PCOD: Arising Health Condition that Needs Your Attention

PCOS and PCOD are often ignored health conditions among women of menstruating age. Both the conditions affect the ovaries, a reproductive organ responsible for the process of ovulation as well as releasing female hormones Progesterone and Estrogen responsible for the development of female traits like body hair, breast shape, body hair etc. However, PCOS and PCOD hamper these developments and also the overall reproductive health of a woman.

The lack of awareness around PCOS and PCOD even today causes people to use these terms wrongly or often interchangeably. PCOD (Polycystic Ovary Disease) is a rather common condition affecting about 10% of world women; whereas PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) affects a very small percentage of the women in the world. Although the condition seems to have similar characteristics and symptoms including the fact that it affects the same organ, it is yet a completely different condition with different levels of severity.

Here are a few facts about PCOS and PCOD that everyone needs to know to understand them better.
