There are several myths about the condition that many people and often doctors believe which then becomes a problem for the people going to these doctors for their treatments and today, this article will debunk those myths.
A lot of medical experts consider the name of the condition to be a misnomer. There are three phenomena which are taken into account when being diagnosed with PCOD and those are – 1) Having polycystic ovaries, of course. 2) hirsutism, hair loss, acne and 3) irregular menstruation cycle. If one has any two of the three of these conditions then they are diagnosed with PCOD.
PCOD do cause infertility because the hormonal problems that occur because of it and it also affects the ovaries to produce eggs (that is why irregular cycles happen) but if one wishes, it can be treated.
It is true that people with PCOD do suffer from irregular menstrual cycle but apart from it, there are several other reasons for the same such as breastfeeding, extreme dieting, pelvic inflammatory disease and stress. Its always better to consult a doctor rather self-diagnosing.
Hirsutism or excess hair growth in women in unwanted places such as chin, chest and face happen in some numbers of cases of PCOD but not all. Sometimes it is genetically transferred condition too and sometimes because of ethnicity.
As a syndrome PCOD affects people in different ways. Its common among people with PCOD to be overweight but this is not the case for everyone.
It is true that one can try to lose weight for a regular cycle but that isn't as easy to be done by everyone. Losing weight has more layers. Sometimes it becomes impossible for people to do so and sometimes they are simply unable to. People have succeeded to attain regular cycles but it is not always to case.
Birth control is a common way to tackle the problem of irregular cycles but it is not a cure for the disease. One can mask symptoms with birth control but it cannot be consumed to cure PCOD. Try to focus on balancing and controlling hormones by focusing on mental health.
No, it's not happening to you because you did something wrong. its a common disease and very often is because of genetic inheritance.
