Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent disorder in women that affects their endocrine and metabolic functioning, causing physical and psychological issues. Factors contributing to PCOS include genetics, stress, anxiety, obesity, and a sedentary lifestyle. The study suggests that a holistic treatment approach targeting all these factors can be effective in managing PCOS symptoms. This includes yoga, diet, exercise, and therapies like mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT). The study emphasizes the importance of assessing the overall health of women for designing integral treatment plans. This holistic approach could enhance the well-being and overall living pattern of women suffering from PCOS.
