    TLDR Ayurveda views Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) as a metabolic disorder caused by an imbalance of Vata, Kapha, and Pitta, and suggests treatments like Samsodhanam, Agneya Dravyas, and Swayoni Vardhana dravyas.
    The document discusses the Ayurvedic perspective of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), a leading cause of female infertility. It draws parallels between PCOS and various conditions mentioned in Ayurvedic texts, such as Gulma, Prameha, Sthoulya, and others. The paper suggests that PCOS can be seen as a metabolic disorder, characterized by an impairment of the function of Agni at various levels, and can be considered a Bahudoshavastha. It starts with a Vata imbalance, which then disrupts Kapha and Pitta in the Arthavavaha Srothas. The main treatment principles include Samsodhanam, use of Agneya Dravyas, use of Swayoni Vardhana dravyas, and avoidance of etiological factors. The clinical symptoms of PCOS, such as amenorrhea and hyperprolactinemia, are seen in Rakthagulma, and the disease's clinical manifestation and pathology are very similar to Prameha. The paper also correlates Nashtarthava and Vandhya yonivyapath with amenorrhoea and anovulation associated with PCOS, respectively.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present.
