A Little about the condition if you want to Geek Out
PCOD is often used to describe the condition in which multiple cysts develop on the ovaries, while PCOS refers to a broader syndrome characterized by hormonal imbalances, irregular menstrual cycles, and other symptoms in addition to ovarian cysts
Difference between PCOD & PCOS:
Hormonal Imbalance: Both PCOD and PCOS involve hormonal imbalances, particularly involving androgens (male hormones) such as testosterone, androgens, and insulin.
Insulin Resistance: Insulin resistance, a condition where cells in the body do not respond effectively to insulin, leading to elevated insulin levels, is often associated with both PCOD and PCOS.
Genetic Factors: There appears to be a genetic component to both conditions, with a family history of PCOD or PCOS increasing the risk of developing these conditions.
Environmental Factors: Lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, and stress may also play a role in the development and progression of PCOD and PCOS.

Symptoms of PCOD & PCOS:
Menstrual Irregularities: Irregular menstrual cycles, including irregular or absent periods, are common in both PCOD and PCOS.
Ovarian Cysts: Multiple cysts on the ovaries are a characteristic feature of PCOD, but they may also be present in PCOS.
Hormonal Imbalances: Elevated levels of androgens (male hormones) such as testosterone are common in both PCOD and PCOS, leading to symptoms such as acne, hirsutism (excessive hair growth), and male-pattern baldness.
Insulin Resistance: Insulin resistance and metabolic disturbances, including obesity, are often associated with both PCOD and PCOS.
Fertility Issues: Both conditions can affect fertility, with women experiencing difficulty conceiving due to irregular ovulation or lack of ovulation.

Bhramari Pranayama is a soothing breathing practice that involves making a humming sound during exhalation.
