You’re Not Alone — Love4U is Here for You
Are you experiencing symptoms of PCOD? You’re far from alone. In India, 1 in every 5 women faces this condition during her reproductive years. At Love4U, we believe knowledge is the first step towards taking control of your health. With the right care, lifestyle changes, and emotional support, PCOD can be managed — and you can still lead the healthy, confident life you deserve.
What is PCOD?
Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) occurs when a woman’s ovaries produce more immature or partially mature eggs than usual. Over time, these eggs form tiny cysts, making the ovaries larger and increasing male hormone (androgen) levels.
This hormonal imbalance can lead to:
-
Irregular or missed periods
-
Weight gain that’s hard to lose
-
Acne & oily skin
-
Unwanted facial & body hair
-
Fertility challenges
💡 Love4U Tip: PCOD is common, but it’s not the end of your dreams. With the Love4U Care Approach — balanced nutrition, regular exercise, medical guidance, and emotional wellness — you can control symptoms and reclaim your health.
