Abstract	Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrine disorder affecting reproductive-aged women worldwide. It is characterized by hormonal imbalances, insulin resistance, ovarian dysfunction, and metabolic disturbances, leading to various symptoms such as irregular menstrual cycles, infertility, excessive hair growth, acne, and obesity. The management of PCOS typically involves lifestyle modifications, including dietary changes, exercise, and medication. In recent years, there has been growing interest in exploring alternative dietary solutions to complement traditional approaches for PCOS management. Millets, a group of small-seeded grains, have gained attention as a novel dietary option for PCOS due to their unique nutritional composition and health benefits. This comprehensive report reviews the existing literature on the potential mechanisms by which millets can benefit individuals with PCOS. Millets have been found to positively impact glycemic control, insulin sensitivity, and hormonal balance, which are crucial factors in PCOS pathophysiology. The low glycemic index and high fiber content of millets contribute to better blood sugar regulation, reducing insulin resistance and supporting weight management. Moreover, millets offer a sustainable and accessible solution for PCOS management, promoting better dietary adherence and overall health outcomes. This report also highlights the limitations and challenges in incorporating millets into the PCOS diet, such as limited awareness, availability of millet-based products, and the need for further research through clinical trials. To optimize the utilization of millets as a dietary intervention for PCOS, community education and awareness programs are recommended, aiming to increase public knowledge and promote the adoption of millet-based diets. Furthermore, the report discusses the role of technological advancements in the food industry in creating a diverse range of millet-based food options that cater to individual preferences and dietary needs.
