Impact Of Herbal Drugs On Ovarian Function In PCOS: A Biochemical Perspective

Abstract

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a female neuroendocrine and metabolic disorder that affects 1 in 10 women worldwide. This occurrence is primarily due to hormonal imbalances, including the luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone ratio, gonadotropin-releasing hormone, insulin resistance, and elevated testosterone and androgen levels in PCOS. This leads to anovulation, diabetes, hyperandrogenism, depression, hirsutism, acne, and infertility. Regulating those conditions leads to managing and curing PCOS. There are many ways to treat PCOS, such as allopathic, ayurvedic, homoeopathic, etc. Among those, many allopathic and homoeopathic drugs have effects in practice to treat PCOS, but they are mainly used to manage PCOS and fail to focus on regulating PCOS. Patients have benefited from natural remedies containing adequate phytoconstituents and various receptors that help alleviate the symptoms of PCOS. These herbal drugs effectively manage and regulate PCOS, rather than the limitations of allopathic medicines.
