your reproductive health.
Some yogic technique that you should practice are Bhadrasana - supt and

practices promote blood flow to the pelvic area and this helps in proper
production and brings balance to the hormones. Routine walk is also
recommended.
Walk at least for 5 to 6 km everyday or at least go for 10,000 steps. Women
suffering from PCOD have lots of mood swings, which may not just make them
unhappy and sad, but all other people around them also are harassed or are
really disturbed because of that.

your breathing, take a slow and long breath and that would settle your mind.
Someone has always said that it is very difficult to understand a woman
because situations vary, the reactions vary. Sometimes the same situation helps
women and sometimes it irritates woman, so it's the woman, herself who has to
take charge of her mind, her emotions and see that she behaves in a balanced,
happy and cheerful way.
This problem, as it comes, it will go also, this shall pass, but you should do your job well. Try and remain healthy and happy.
