    TLDR Lifestyle changes like a healthy diet, exercise, and proper sleep can help manage PCOD.
    Polycystic Ovarian Disorder (PCOD) is a prevalent endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age, marked by excessive androgen production, leading to symptoms such as infertility, diabetes, irregular menstrual periods, hirsutism, hair loss, obesity, and acne. The condition is exacerbated by factors like lack of exercise, poor diet, unbalanced sleep, obesity, genetics, and stress. Effective management involves lifestyle changes, including diet regulation (with vitamins, antioxidants, and creatine) and exercise, along with medications to regulate hormones, improve fertility, and enhance sleep.
