I believe that all of the health ailment can be treated by Ayurveda because Ayurveda believes that our body is ruled and governed by Tri Doshas- Vata, Pitta, and Kapha dosha.

When any of the dosha gets imbalanced or vitiated it results to health ailments. Ayurveda is an ancient method of treatment which included the treatment through herbs.

We are lucky to have Ayurvedic doctors who are continuing the tradition and treating through herbs following the traditional way of treatment.

As per Ayurveda                        

In Ayurveda, Acharya Sushruta has stated that Bandhya is a type of yonivyapada that has symptom like amenorrhea or oligomenorrhoea.

Similarly Acharya Charka has also described Arajasaka is a Yonivyapada which indicates Amenorrhea.

Ayurveda says our body is managed and governed by three forces which are called vatta dosha, pitta dosha, and kapha dosha, all three moves within the body and help & support the body in performing essential bodily functions.

Imbalance and vitiation in these forces become the cause of diseases. According to Ayurveda PCOS  is consider to be the  result of imbalanced Vata Dosha particularly Apan vata is responsible, other two doshas is also responsible but major is vata.
