Doctors have told her it is as close to labour pains as she may ever come. Those words alone cut more deeply than the surgeon's knife they have suggested.

Symptoms of PCOS Common symptoms of PCOS include the following: Menstrual disorder: PCOS mostly produces oligomenorrhea(few menstrual periods) or amenorrhea(no menstrual periods), but other types of menstrual disorders may also occur. Infertility This generally results directly from chronic anovulation (lack of ovulation).[9] High levels of masculinizing hormones: The most common signs are acne and hirsutism (male pattern of hair growth), but it may produce hypermenorrhea (heavy and prolonged menstrual periods), androgenic alopecia (increase hair thinning or diffuse hair loss), or other symptoms.Approximately three-quarters of people with PCOS (by the diagnostic criteria of NIH/NICHD 1990) have evidence of hyperandrogenemia Metabolic syndrome This appears as a tendency towards central obesity and other symptoms associated with insulin resistance.Serum insulin ,insulin resistance, and homocysteine levels are higher in women with PCOS.

HOMOEOPATHIC APPROACH Homeopathy is a system of medicine with holistic approach. PCOS/PCOD is one disease in which homeopathy remedies are taken for treatment. Conventional medicine or treatments have severe side effects that make people sceptical to go ahead with it. For such reasons, they find homeopathic treatment as a simple and effective solution.

HOMOEOPATHIC APPROACH Infertility is a multidimensional problem in which the couples are more affected mentally than the physical complaints. Therefore the more emphasis is given on educating the couple and psychological counselling along with the homeopathic medicinal treatment. Problems faced by the infertile couples 1) Medical problems – faced by either or both the partners. 2) Social problems – such as superstitions, misbelieves 3) Psychological problems – such as anxiety, apprehension, embracement etc... 4) Antisocial habits – such as smoking, drinking etc… 5) Problems in interpersonal relationship 6) Psychosexual problems

DUBAI SEMINAR 2015 29 CONCLUSION It will be too premature to discuss the further prognosis of this case we have to keep our fingers crossed and pray god for the best FOR HER FUTURE . I leave along with this enigma of such cases of PCOS in the hands of hom0eopaths. Until there is cure for PCOD she can hope to achieve is an uneasy truce with her disorder.
