Introduction:Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age, presenting with symptoms like irregular menstruation, pelvic pain, weight gain, acne, mood swings, and infertility. It affects 5–10% of women, especially those undergoing infertility treatment. Stress and poor lifestyle choices worsen the condition. Conventional treatments such as hormonal therapy and surgery have adverse effects including withdrawal bleeding, nausea, and increased risk of ovarian hyperstimulation and stroke. Methods:A 21-year-old female with a 2-year history of PCOS underwent Ayurvedic and Yogic treatment. She received Ayurvedic medicines like Rajahpravartini Vati, Dasamularishta, Shatavari Churna, Kuberaksh Vati, and Kanchanar Guggulu to regulate hormones and support reproductive health. A daily 30-minute yoga routine included Pranayama, meditation, and Asanas like Bhujangasana, Bhadrasana, Naukasana, Shalabhasana, Trikonasana, and Shavasana. Results:The patient showed an 80% improvement in menstrual irregularities. Ayurvedic therapy helped in weight management and stress relief, while yoga stabilized the hypothalamo-pituitary-ovarian axis. Discussion:This case supports the effectiveness of Ayurveda and Yoga as holistic, side-effect-free approaches to PCOS management by restoring hormonal balance, reducing stress, and improving reproductive health.
