Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a multifactorial endocrine disorder which is characterized by chronic anovulation.
Irregular periods, hirsutism, weight gain are the other signs of PCOS. The prevalence of PCOS worldwide is between 6%
and 26% while in India it was 3.7% to 22.5%. PCOS is the most prevailing female endocrine disorder and the preeminent
cause of infertility. Risk factors that contribute to the development of PCOS include genetics, neuroendocrine system,
sedentary lifestyle, diet, and obesity. Modern medicine has found many ways to heal. Synthetic drugs such as metformin and
oral contraceptive pills were available in the market, but because of their side effects, people depend on traditional and
herbal medicines. This review provides a detailed approach to different types of traditional and natural systems for the
treatment and management of PCOS. Different approaches to managing PCOS include the traditional system of drugs,
herbal remedies, herbs, and Phyto-ingredients that have proven their potential in treating PCOS. Traditional medicine
includes Unani, Ayurveda, Siddha, naturopathy, yoga, and homeopathy. In addition to treatment, yoga also has potential in
treating PCOS.
