PCOS & PCOD samsarawellness

PCOS /PCOD

When it comes to hormonal health in women, PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) and PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease) are terms that often come up—and just as often, they’re confused. While they share similar features, they are not identical. Understanding the difference is key to proper diagnosis, treatment, and long-term health.

What is PCOS?

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal and metabolic disorder where the ovaries produce higher-than-normal levels of androgens (male hormones), which can interfere with the development and release of eggs during ovulation.

Common signs of PCOS:

Irregular or absent periods
Multiple small cysts in the ovaries (seen via ultrasound)
Acne, oily skin, and unwanted facial or body hair
Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
Insulin resistance or increased risk of type 2 diabetes
Fertility challenges

PCOS is often linked with broader metabolic disturbances and may require long-term management involving lifestyle changes, medication, and hormonal support.

What Is PCOD?

Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) is a condition where the ovaries release immature or partially mature eggs, which can develop into cysts over time. It’s more common and generally less severe than PCOS.

Common signs of PCOD:

Irregular menstrual cycles
Mild hormonal imbalances
Occasional acne or bloating
Weight fluctuations

PCOS/PCOD in the Corporate World: The Hidden Struggle

This chronic hormonal disorder affects nearly 1 in 5 women in India, many of whom are juggling demanding careers while managing unpredictable symptoms—often in silence.

How PCOS Shows Up at Work

PCOS doesn’t just affect physical health—it has a direct impact on energy levels, emotional well-being, and productivity. Common workplace challenges include:

Irregular Energy Cycles

Fatigue, bloating, or migraines around irregular cycles can reduce day-to-day efficiency.
Unpredictable symptoms make it hard to plan or stay consistent in performance.

Mental Health Impact

PCOS is closely linked with anxiety, depression, mood swings, and low self-esteem.
The pressure to maintain a “normal” face at work while battling internal hormonal storms can be exhausting.

Focus and Productivity

Brain fog, lack of motivation, and emotional overwhelm can affect project management and team communication.

Time Off for Medical Needs

Frequent doctor visits, lab tests, or sudden symptoms may require flexible hours or remote work days—something not all workplaces accommodate.

Workplace Silence

Many women hesitate to disclose PCOS due to stigma or fear of being seen as “less capable.”
There’s limited dialogue around reproductive health in most corporate wellness

Is There a Cure?

There is no one-pill cure, but the good news is—PCOS and PCOD can be reversed or very well managed through holistic interventions:

Lifestyle & Nutrition
Ayurveda & Natural Healing
Mental Wellness

True healing comes from understanding the body—not suppressing symptoms.
