Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder among women of reproductive age, causing symptoms like irregular periods, excessive hair growth, weight gain, and infertility. While conventional treatments often focus on managing symptoms, homeopathy takes a holistic approach, addressing the root cause to restore balance naturally.
