Exploration of Herbal Medicinal Plants and Formulations Available for the Treatment of PCOS: A review
Abstract
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous endocrine disorder with the underlying consequence of ovarian cysts, anovulation, and endocrine variation affecting women. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) estimation over 116 million women (3.4%) are affected by PCOS worldwide. It is typified by polycystic ovaries, hyperandrogenism, and ovulatory dysfunction. Pharmacological interventions that treat symptoms but may have fewer side effects are frequently used in conventional treatments. As a result, interest in herbal medicinal plants and formulations as additional or alternative PCOS therapies is developing. This review explores the safety and efficacy of various herbal remedies traditionally used in the management of PCOS. Each of the herbs mentioned in this review offers unique benefits. This review gives a comprehensive idea about PCOS, its causes and symptoms. It also explores formulations like capsules, tablets, syrups, and nano drug delivery system medicines for PCOS. According to studies, these herbal medicines can improve insulin resistance, lower testosterone levels and restore menstrual regularity while causing fewer negative effects than conventional therapy.
