Which statement about PCOS suggests its primary dosha involvement as described in the material?

• A. It is primarily a Kapha disorder
• B. It is primarily a Pitta disorder
• C. It is primarily a Vata disorder
• D. It is primarily a Tridosha disorder

Answer: (A)

Kapha is the primary dosha involved. PCOS commonly presents with features tied to Kapha—weight gain or obesity, a sense of heaviness, sluggish digestion, and stagnation in tissues and circulation. Kapha governs structure, lubrication, and cohesion; when imbalanced, it tends to produce accumulation and slow metabolic processes that can disrupt normal ovarian function and menstrual regularity. This aligns with the typical PCOS picture of metabolic sluggishness and tissue stagnation affecting reproduction. In contrast, a Pitta-dominant pattern would lean toward heat, inflammation, and sharper metabolic activity, while a Vata pattern would emphasize movement, freedom, and dryness; neither best captures the predominance seen in PCOS. Therefore the statement reflecting Kapha as the main dosha involved fits best.
