These symptoms can feel frustrating and hard to deal with.<\/p>\n<p>If this sounds familiar, you might be facing <strong>Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)<\/strong>, a common hormonal issue that affects many women during their childbearing years*. PCOS symptoms can make periods unpredictable, make it difficult to conceive, and bring changes to your body, but with the right support, it can be managed.<\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%;\">*<strong>Childbearing years<\/strong> are the time when a woman can naturally get pregnant, usually between her teens and 40s. During these years, a woman\u2019s body is most fertile.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Many of you might not know, but <strong>September is celebrated as PCOS Awareness Month<\/strong> every year. It\u2019s a time to raise awareness about the challenges women with PCOS face and the importance of managing it throughout the year. Whether it\u2019s through medication, lifestyle changes, or practices like yoga for PCOS, there are many ways to take control of your health and feel better.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s take a closer look at what PCOS is and how it affects your body.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What Exactly Is PCOS?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK459251\/\">PCOS<\/a> happens when the body\u2019s hormones are out of balance, often causing small ovarian cysts that affect regular ovulation. But it\u2019s not just about fertility; PCOS health risks can include conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease.<\/p>\n<p>While this may seem challenging, there\u2019s good news: with the right steps, PCOS symptoms can be managed effectively. In fact, it affects 8% to 13% of women.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How is PCOS Treated?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>PCOS<\/strong> management is most often determined by the woman\u2019s plan of becoming pregnant, and its treatment essentially includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Modification in diet and physical activity<\/li>\n<li>Medications to help the ovaries release an egg normally in regular intervals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If a woman with PCOS does not plan to become pregnant, treatment for it typically includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use of birth control pills to regulate menstrual cycles, lower androgen levels and reduce acne.<\/li>\n<li>Diabetes medications may be prescribed to lower insulin resistance and androgen levels and regularise ovulation.<\/li>\n<li>Eating a healthy diet and increasing physical activity to help maintain optimal weight.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>How Yoga Helps in Managing PCOS Symptoms?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Yoga is more than just physical exercise; it helps balance hormones, reduces stress, and promotes better blood circulation. Regular practice can aid in weight management, improve digestion, and even help regulate menstrual cycles.<\/p>\n<p>Yoga&#8217;s focus on mindfulness and breath control also helps lower cortisol levels, which can play a significant role in managing PCOS symptoms.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Who Can Do Yoga for PCOS?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Yoga is suitable for women of all age groups dealing with PCOS. Whether you\u2019re just starting your fitness journey or have been active for years, yoga offers gentle yet effective movements that can be tailored to suit your comfort level.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Who Should Avoid Yoga for PCOS?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>While yoga is generally safe, women with severe joint pain, injuries, or certain medical conditions should consult a healthcare provider before starting a yoga routine. It\u2019s important to listen to your body and modify poses as needed to prevent strain or injury. And this is where a trained instructor can guide you on the do\u2019s and don&#8217;ts.

A few lifestyle changes that are routinely recommended to women with PCOS to help manage the condition and reduce their symptoms are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Reduce sugar and carbohydrate intake:<\/strong> Include fresh vegetables, fruits, pulses, whole grains and low-fat dairy in your diet. At the same time, reduce sugar and carbohydrate intake, which is found in processed and sweetened foods.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maintain optimum weight:<\/strong> Losing just 5% of one&#8217;s body weight is known to significantly improve PCOS and its symptoms.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Regular exercise:<\/strong> Different forms of exercise and physical activities are effective in managing PCOS. However, yoga has the added benefit of mindfulness, relaxation, and breathing control, enabling better stress management. Physical exercise also helps manage insulin resistance and regulates metabolism in women with PCOS.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>However, we understand that discomfort or confusion about where to start can often prevent women with PCOS from exercising.
