Polycystic Ovarian Disease
Polycystic Ovarian Disease is the medical abbreviation of PCOD. PCOD is a medical condition in which a woman's ovaries generate immature or partially mature eggs in large numbers during reproductive age and these eggs develop into cysts in the ovaries over time. Due to the cysts ovaries become large & secrete large amounts of male hormones (androgen) which causes infertility problems, irregular periods, unwanted weight gain, and other health issues.
