It interferes with metabolic, endocrine and reproductive functions. Many young girls and middle aged Indian women are suffering from this syndrome which is marked by appearance of multiple cysts on ovaries and disturbances in monthly menstrual cycles. According to both men and women have <em>Shukradhatu</em> consisting of androgen and estrogen hormones. Any imbalance in the levels of these hormones causes infertility. Usually, an imbalance of hormones in women causes excessive secretion of androgen, causing the formation of cysts in the ovaries, which is medically known as Polycystic Ovarian syndrome (<em>Artavadusti</em>/<em>Kshaya</em>). According to Ayurveda aim is mainly to correct hyper insulinemia by using <em>Pramehgana</em> drugs, weight reduction through <em>Vyayama</em>, diet and drugs, give <em>Yakritotejak</em> drugs for the oestrogen clearance and clear <em>Avarana</em> by using <em>Vatakapha</em> <em>Nashaka</em> drugs, <em>Shodhana</em>, <em>Shamana</em>, <em>Brumhana</em> for the proper follicular genesis and ovulation.</p> ER -
