What is the difference between PCOD & PCOS?<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD)<\/h2>\n

Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) is a condition characterized by the presence of multiple immature or partially mature eggs in the ovaries. These eggs develop into cysts over time, leading to a range of symptoms and potential complications.<\/p>\n

Key Features and Symptoms<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Ovarian Cysts<\/strong>: The ovaries develop multiple small cysts.<\/li>\n
  2. Irregular Menstrual Cycles<\/strong>: Women with PCOD often experience irregular or missed periods due to disrupted ovulation.<\/li>\n
  3. Weight Gain<\/strong>: Difficulty in managing weight or unexplained weight gain is common.<\/li>\n
  4. Acne and Skin Problems<\/strong>: Increased levels of androgens can lead to acne and other skin issues.<\/li>\n
  5. Hair Loss<\/strong>: Thinning of hair or male-pattern baldness can occur.<\/li>\n
  6. Infertility<\/strong>: Difficulties in conceiving due to irregular ovulation.<\/li>\n
  7. Hirsutism<\/strong>: Excessive hair growth on the face and body due to higher androgen levels, though this is more pronounced in PCOS.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
