Abstract:
Globally human health is a major concern of every individual. Women health has pivotal role to promote healthy generations. Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is the most common issue in their reproductive years. PCOS is an endocrine disorder and cause anovulatory infertility affects about 5–18% women of reproductive year. The management of PCOS is a challenging endeavor, it is a serious concern with major indicators that differ with age and treatment should be personalized to meet the precise requirements of each patient. Imbalance hormones are known as recurrent cause of PCOS, in which androgen level is higher than normal. The formation and release of eggs during ovulation are impacted by high amounts of androgens. Seed cycling is powerful in the treatment of PCOS. Recent review studies showed positive effect of Seed cycling (Flax, sesame, pumpkin and sunflower). In 2020 a study conducted on female rats and flax seed oil given 1ml/kg /daily for 8 weeks. It showed improvements in PCOS condition related with testosterone hormone. Another study in 2020, Flax seed powder: 30g/day for 12 weeks given with life style changes to PCOS women which showed significant improvements. Pumpkin seed oil given to rabbits for 2 weeks has been significant in decreasing the serum cholesterol and body weight. Various studies also confirmed the significant effect of seed cycling supplementation on PCOS. Therefore, future investigations will make contributions to bridging the traditional understanding of using natural products combined with life style modification may reduce the signs of PCOS among women.
