Today's topic: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
It is an endocrine disorder that affects approximately
5% of all women.It occurs amongst all races and
nationalities, is the most common hormonal disorder
among women of reproductive age (12-45years old), and is
a leading cause of infertility.
The principle features are obesity, anovulation
(resulting in irregular menstruation), acne, and
excessive amounts or effects of androgenic (masculinizing)
hormones. The symptoms and severity of the syndrome vary
greatly among women. While the causes are unknown,
insulin resistance, diabetes, and obesity are all
strongly correlated with PCOS.
Poly Cystic Ovarian Disease is a reproductive disorder,
or to be more precise a disorder that affects the
reproductive tract. In each monthly cycle, one of
follicles grow in the ovaries and ripen to deliver an
egg, called an ovum. This ovulation process is
stimulated by bodily hormones. On account of individual
hormonal imbalances, sometimes, these follicles could
just refuse to release an egg. Subsequently, the ovary
gets full of immature follicles; these are termed cysts
and the condition is referred to as Poly Cystic Ovarian
Disease (PCOD). The condition is characterized by an
excess, or build up of cysts in the ovaries. PCOD,
sometimes also referred to as PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovarian
Syndrome) is characterized by excess of small cysts in
the ovaries.
Diet for PCOD
Well, the non-obese women with PCOS problem
who get regular periods may eat a balanced diet with
approx. 50-55% of calories from complex carbohydrates(
whole grains, fruits and vegetables) and 20-30% from
lean proteins( egg whites, whole pulses and low fat
dairy products). However, an obese patient with insulin
resistance may need to lower the carb intake to 40% and
replace the carbohydrates with healthy mono unsaturated
fats like omega 3 fatty acids (flax seeds, olive oil and
fish). The diet plan should be tailored as per
individual requirement and degree of insulin resistance
and the effectiveness of the diet plan may be determined
by factors such as improvement in menstrual cycle
regularity, weight loss or decreased insulin levels.
Yoga Asanas for PCOD / PCOS
Down the years, it has been found that Yoga
is the only recourse left to PCOD / PCOS sufferers. Yoga
is a holistic science and art of living. This is because
routines Yoga consisting of asanas (poses), pranayamas
(breathing techniques) and kriyas (cleansing exercises)
prescribed in Yoga help tone up the whole system. There
are certain fixed Yoga asanas (poses) like the sitting,
standing and supine poses that haven proven to greatly
help PCOD / PCOS patients. In general, the Yoga program
for PCOD / PCOS is as follows:
• A series of Yoga asanas (poses). While there is no
exact pose or exercise that is known to help heal PCOD /
PCOS, experience tells us that some of the poses – if
done regularly – sitting, standing and lying on the
back, over time yield the desired results. But, you
should make sure to avoid all the inverted poses.
• Practice lots of Pranayamas (Breathing Exercises) in a
slow, unhurried, relaxed rhythm. You may breathe at your
own slow pace, or inhale and exhale to the count of 3 or
4. But do this very slowly and avoid straining or
putting pressure on your lungs. The recommended
pranayamas (breathing exercises) for PCOD / PCOS women
are Mild Kapalabhatti (Skull Cleansing), Anuloma-Viloma
(Alternate Nostril Breathing) and Ujjayi (Ocean Breath).
• You should also practise Nispanda Bhava (Unmoving
Observation) and Shavasana (Corpse pose) 2 – 3 times
every day. These will definitely help since PCOD / PCOS
victims are, by and large, tense and stressed out.
Subsequently, they need plenty of relaxation.
• Finally, let your diet be Yogic and Sattvic. This
essentially means pure and predominantly vegetarian,
with lots of seasonal fruits, sprouts, fresh salads and
dried fruits. Steer clear of milk and milk products,
particularly cheeses and butter, all confectionery
products, fatty, fried and spicy foods, cigarettes and
alcohol
•
Likewise, avoid stress and tension, so try and avoid all
stressful situations. Even if difficult, you will find
that taking the trouble and making a few short term
sacrifices will benefit you enormously in the long run.
