Abstract

Aim: With one in ten women globally suffering from it, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) has recently emerged as one of the most common endocrine multifactorial illnesses. Each patient may not experience all the potential symptoms of PCOS, which include insulin resistance, hirsutism, acanthosis nigricans, hyperandrogenism, weight gain, etc. Method: Although symptomatic treatments like ovarian drilling procedures or cosmetic lotions to alleviate hirsutism do not address the underlying cause, there is still no comprehensive treatment for PCOS. It is important to take into account the psychological and occupational factors influencing the unfavourable rise in infertility. Result: Changes in lifestyle, nutrition, prolonged diabetes medication, oral contraceptive pills, and ultimately laparoscopic surgery are obstacles to treating the syndrome. To lower the cost, time, and side effects of current treatments, polyhedral formulations must be developed in light of the aforementioned aspects. Since it is a natural resource and is widely utilised, coumarins have recently drawn the attention of researchers as a potential source of medication for therapy. Conclusion: This article suggests a list of herbal medications that, when combined with other PCOS treatments, can be successful. These herbs may also be sufficient on their own to treat ovarian cysts naturally.
