Q: What is the difference between PCOD and PCOS?

PCOD is a condition where ovaries produce immature eggs due to lifestyle imbalances, often controlled with diet and mild regulation. PCOS is a broader endocrine disorder with high androgen levels, insulin resistance, and severe ovulatory dysfunction requiring targeted medical and hormonal therapy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between PCOD and PCOS?

PCOD is primarily an ovarian condition where immature eggs cause irregular cycles, manageable with lifestyle changes. PCOS is a systemic endocrine disorder with androgen excess, insulin resistance, and metabolic impacts requiring structured medical intervention.

When should hormone tests be done during the menstrual cycle?

Baseline fertility and PCOS hormone panels (LH, FSH, Estradiol) are typically tested on Day 2 or Day 3 of the menstrual cycle in the morning fasting state.
