Abstract

"Stree" being the fundamental source of progeny, she should be protected from any disorders that damage her motherhood. One of the disorders impacting this particular ability of women is PCOS. The condition is undoubtedly a major contributor to infertility and is most likely the most prevalent hormonal imbalance in women of reproductive age. The term PCOS is not specifically mentioned in the Ayurveda classics; instead, symptoms are found under a variety of sick states at different sources, e.g., monthly abnormalities are discussed under the general topic of Ashtoartavadushti. The Kashyapa Samhita and Revati Kalpadhyaya (chapter 9) references to Pushpaghni jataharani. PCOS can be diagnosed and treated using these principles. This case study presents a female patient with 18mm cyst in left ovary. She received a variety of Ayurvedic interventions, including Kanchanar Guggulu, Dashmoolarishta, Saubhagya shunthi pak, Chitrakadi Vati, Navayasa Lauha.
