ABSTRACT:
PCOS is a multifaceted endocrine condition that impacts women throughout their reproductive years globally. Around the world, PCOS affects one in ten women. It is identified by hormone dysregulation, irregular monthly cycles, and ovarian cysts. Numerous pharmacological treatments for PCOS have been proposed. Complementary and alternative medicines are becoming a valuable choice due to the negative effects of long-term treatments and their likely low efficacy. It explores the workings of different herbal treatments, emphasizing how they might adjust hormonal imbalances, enhance insulin sensitivity, and control menstrual cycles. Phyto estrogenic and non-estrogenic plants like ashwagandha, fennel, fenugreek, aloe vera, flaxseed, and spearmint are safe and efficient natural therapies. We have reviewed various key medicinal herbs, their primary chemical constituents and their specialized significance in PCOS management. This review summarizes the symptoms, pathophysiology, diagnostic test, and herbs used to treat PCOS.
