Dear Sarita Guchait, Thank You for the Question.
Polycystic ovarian Disease (PCOD) is endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age, which may potentially affect the reproductive, hormonal and metabolic functions. There is no one particular diet or food dish that can stop or cure PCOD. Management of PCOD involves multiple factors such as Dietary intake, physical activity, lifestyle pattern, metabolic conditions, genetics, stress etc. However, it is necessary to follow a healthy balanced diet with low fat intake, good amount of protein and fibre for ideal weight management.
We request you to kindly contact your gynaecologist for further assistance, diagnosis and management.
Here are a few tips to help manage PCOD/ PCOS
