Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome: A brief review on the role of Allopathic and Herbal Treatment.

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most frequent endocrinopathy in women of reproductive age, characterized by hyperandrogenism and chronic oligo/ anovulation. PCOS is a complex illness that is impacted and complicated by a variety of genetic and environmental factors. The disruption of reproductive hormones such as LH, FSH, oestrogen, and testosterone disrupts the normal menstrual cycle and can result in oligomenorrhoea and amenorrhea-like abnormalities. Although there are significant variations between people, PCOS is characterized by hyperandrogenism, irregular menstruation, and different sized ovarian cysts. Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most frequent endocrinopathy in women of reproductive age, characterized by hyperandrogenism and chronic oligo/ anovulation. PCOS is a complex illness that is impacted and complicated by a variety of genetic and environmental factors. Additionally, these women most likely have a higher risk of ovarian cancer, venous thromboembolism, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events, and other illnesses. In addition to its enormous economic burden (an annual health-care expenditure of $5.39 billion in the United States in 2019), PCOS has a negative impact on the long-term health of affected women. The most prevalent endocrine condition, known as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), affects 6%–8% of women globally who are of reproductive age. The first studies to ascertain prevalence in a medically unselected (unbiased) population were started by Azziz and colleagues, who reported PCOS prevalence’s ranging from 4% to 6.6% among unselected reproductive-age women living in the Southeast of the United States using the NIH 1990 criteria. The demand for herbal medications has developed as a result of high economic costs and a large number of unfavourable side effects linked with the use of allopathic drugs. Herbal plants have been a key source of therapeutic remedies since ancient times. Exceptionally, despite the huge transformation in the pharmaceutical area, the use of herbal treatments is expanding day by day in underdeveloped countries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
