Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) are common hormonal disorders that affect women of reproductive age. Both conditions involve the presence of multiple small cysts on the ovaries, leading to hormonal imbalances. PCOD and PCOS can result in irregular menstrual cycles, fertility issues, and various metabolic problems.
