Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most prevalent disorders in women which influence their endocrine and metabolic functioning. It causes physical and psychological issues which are responsible for causing disturbances in daily life of women. Apart from genetics, stress, anxiety, obesity, and sedentary life style are among several factors that contribute to this disease. Hence, the treatment must target all these factors. Yoga, diet, exercises and therapies like mindfulness based cognitive therapy (MBCT) have significant effects on management of symptoms of PCOS. Assessment of the overall health of women can assist in the treatment programme and integral plans can be designed to deal with the problem. The purpose of this qualitative study is to assess different treatment outcomes which can help the women suffering from PCOS, health experts, and mental health workers in understanding, management and treatment of this disease from a holistic point of view. This could further enhance the well-being and overall living pattern of the women.
