Polycystic Ovary Disorder (PCOD) is a common yet often misunderstood health condition affecting millions of women worldwide. Despite its widespread impact, it remains a topic many shy away from. But the more we speak up, the closer we come to understanding the importance of early detection, and better care.

In an effort to combat this silence, the PCODestigmatised Foundation in association with Vanshati is organizing 'Run for Her,' a half marathon in Lucknow this Sunday, Sep 22. This event aims to empower women, spread knowledge, and inspire change. Spearheaded by members of the PCOD Foundation, including Dr. Seema Pandey, Dr. Anuradha, and Dr. Arshi, this initiative strives to take strides toward a healthier future for women everywhere.
