They could range from irregular menstruation, hirsutism, obesity and hair loss in some cases and long term can lead to complications. This syndrome cannot be included under any particular condition in specific and can be correlated in Ayurveda with artavakshaya, anartava and pushpagnijataharinibased on itslakshanas, which arevatakaphapradhana rasa pradoshajavyadhi.
