PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease)
Manage Hormonal Imbalance & Restore Clear, Healthy Skin
What is PCOD?
Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) is a hormonal disorder that affects how a woman’s ovaries function. It leads to irregular menstrual cycles, cystic ovaries, and hormonal imbalances that can cause a range of symptoms, including weight gain, acne, excessive facial hair (hirsutism), hair thinning, and pigmentation issues. While not primarily a skin condition, PCOD has significant dermatological manifestations that can be managed effectively with expert care.
