Vijaykumar Gogi, Director, Ayurveda, Yoga,Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy (AYUSH), underlined the need for practitioners of Ayurveda to discuss at length at the seminars and symposia and come out with an effective treatment to cure Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS).
He was speaking after inaugurating a two-day national seminar on ‘Practical Approach on PCOS’, organised by Gavisiddeshwar Ayurveda College in association with Post Graduate and Research Centre, here recently.
Mr. Gogi pointed out that PCOS affects fertility besides causing health problems. Women in rural areas have been facing gynaecological problems and many would not disclose it.
Ayurveda experts should come forward to treat these health issues and AYUSH was ready to extend its helping hand in this regard.
B. Shyamala, Principal, Vaidya Ratnam Ayurveda College, Trissur, Kerala, in her address, said that the present day lifestyle has been having its impact on the health of women, including suffering from PCOS.
Improper intake, consumption of fast food, lack of exercise among other things would pave the way for obesity and lead to metabolic syndrome affecting the hormones.
Added to that the stress and strain due to over work, improper diet, less sleep among other things has been affecting the health of the working women was also another reason for rise in the cases of PCOS.
“PCOS is common among women between 18 and 45 years old. Though there is a cure for it in Ayurveda, following a proper and systematic lifestyle was very essential and it was the duty of all to create awareness among the public in this regard,” she said.
