Background: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder among women of reproductive age groups. It is one of the leading causes of poor fertility. Risk factors include obesity, not enough physical exercise, and a family history. Most studies in India report prevalence of PCOS as 9.13% to 36%. Behaviour and life style modifications are important part of treatment for PCOS. A number of cases in the community due to lack of awareness and proper guidance, it remains undiagnosed. Aim of this study was to find the prevalence of PCOS among the young females of Bhopal city. Thus, risk assessment in the form of a survey would be one of the strategies to identify this syndrome early so as to encourage young women to seek timely treatment and prevent its long term complications. Methods: Non comparative cross sectional study for duration of 8 month. Results: The prevalence of PCOS in this study was 8.20%. Among all the risk factors, BMI ≥25 (P value < 0.0001) and waist hip ratio ≥0.85 (<0.0001) were strongly associated with the presence of PCOS and Lack of awareness, there were in girls (78.4%). Conclusions: Women who were having BMI ≥25 and waist hip ratio ≥0.85 should be educated about its complications and should be advised weight loss. Girls who had irregularity of menses and signs of hyperandrogenism should be investigated and must be managed accordingly. Early diagnosis of PCOS and its prompt treatment will help the girls to improve quality of life.

Ovarian Syndrome

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is one of the most serious medical conditions associated with pregnant women, particularly young women, and It is linked to miscarriage, erratic menstrual cycle, and a disturbed body mass index.  Disease incidence increases mostly day by day because of undisciplined living style, diet, depression, etc. This leads to both physical and mental disorders of the patient and, if not cared for and treated, can also lead to miscarriage or frequent abortion. PCOD is one of that condition which typically affects second or third decade of life in females. It is important to know thoroughly about this disease as modern science has no root cause cure to treat it even the treatment of modern science implicated leads to severe side effects and dependence on the drugs. PCOD is diagnosed in Ayurveda according to its presentation in so many ways like hetu, lakshana, dosha- dushya, samprapti, associated features of PCOS are closely resembling with vandhya yonivyapada, artava-vahastrotas- viddha lakshana, nastartava and ksheena- artava described by acharya Sushruta and pushpaghni jatharini and vikruta jatharini mentioned by acharya Kashyap.
