What is PCOD and PCOS?

What is PCOD and PCOS?
  • Some women can get pregnant the very first time
    they try. For others, it can be more difficult.
    Ovarian disorders like PCOS and PCOD are one of
    the most common reasons for women to be unable to
    have children. The good news is that yoga for
    PCOS can help manage these conditions and improve
    fertility. It proved to be especially effective
    when dealing with PCOS and PCOD.

5
  • Yoga can be practiced by anyone but if youre not
    careful, it can trigger a sprain or muscle pull
    or stress a joint. Hence, it is important to
    always practice yoga under the guidance of a
    trained and experienced yoga practitioner. Pregso
    puts you in contact with fertility yoga
    instructors who can guide you through the asanas.

6
What is PCOD and PCOS?
  • PolyCystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) and PolyCystic
    Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) are often used as
    interchangeable terms but there is a slight
    difference between PCOS and PCOD. Both conditions
    are associated with the ovaries and can cause
    hormonal fluctuations.

7
  • PCOD refers to a condition wherein the ovaries
    have immature eggs that eventually turn into
    cysts. Characteristic symptoms of PCOD include
    weight gain in the abdomen, irregular periods,
    male pattern hair loss and infertility.

8
  • PCOS is a metabolic disorder that is considered
    more severe than PCOD. It makes the ovaries
    produce higher than normal amounts of male
    hormones and can result in the formation of
    follicular cysts. It may also stop the release of
    eggs and cause an ovulation. Characteristics
    symptoms include obesity, hair loss and
    infertility.

9
  • PCOD is more common but PCOS has more serious
    complications. There is no known cure for either
    condition but they can be managed with the right
    diet, lifestyle and yoga at home.

10
Why does yoga work for PCOS and PCOD treatment?
11
  • Stress is one of the contributors for PCOD and
    PCOS. PCOS Yoga exercises help release this
    stress and thus improve the symptoms of the
    condition. It calms the mind and opens up the
    pelvic area. At a very in-depth level, it
    de-stresses and detoxifies the entire system.
    These asanas also help with weight management
    that can, in turn, reduce the intensity of the
    symptoms being displayed and regularize menstrual
    cycles.

12
Yoga poses to treat PCOD at home

  • Some of the yoga exercises that can help manage
    PCOD are

    and exhale rapidly while pulling your stomach
    towards your spine. There will be a hissing sound
    made while exhaling. One round of Kapalbhati yoga
    is measured as 20 repetitions.

Precautions to take while doing yoga for PCOS and
PCOD
The most basic precaution to take while
practicing yoga is to listen to your body. Do not
overexert or do anything that is painful. Always
practice yoga in a quiet, clean place. Practice
the asanas on the ground or on a mat never on
the bed or a mattress. The early mornings are
ideal for this. Always try to practice yoga on an
empty stomach and in the presence of an
experienced teacher.
36
The Bottom Line
Yoga can be very beneficial in the treatment of
PCOD and PCOS as long as it is practiced under an
experienced teacher. Your teacher should be able
to guide you on the proper way to practice a pose
and help you understand your limits. You can join
a class for this or get personal classes from a
yoga teacher. If the latter is something youre
interested in, Pregso can help. Depending on your
needs, Pregso can help you find a trained yoga
practitioner to teach you in the comfort of your
home.
