What is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS, PCOD)?
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS, PCOD) Definition:-
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common cause of infertility in women. Women can develop PCOS if there are too many male hormones in their bodies and not enough female hormones.
Polycystic ovary syndrome is now recognized as a heterogeneous syndrome. Women with PCOS frequently have a mother or sister with PCOS. But there is not yet enough evidence to say there is a genetic link to this disorder.
It is a medical condition characterized by high levels of androgen hormones, missed or irregular periods, and multiple cysts on the ovaries.
Symptoms:-
PCOS/PCOD symptoms may include male pattern baldness, oily skin or dandruff, high blood pressure, High blood sugar (hyperglycemia) and cholesterol, infertility, chronic pelvic pain, and sleep apnea.Many women also experience bouts of depression related to their appearance or inability to conceive.

PCOS is one of the most common causes of female infertility.
The common causes and risk factors of polycystic ovary syndrome include the following:
An imbalance in the hormones (chemical messengers) in your brain and your ovaries,Excess fat,Family history of Polycystic ovary syndrome,Genetics may be a factor.
Treatment:-
Weight reduction is associated with normalization of hormonal disturbances and the resumption of regular ovulation. It also has a beneficial impact on the consequences of PCOS (eg, cardiovascular diseases, impaired glucose tolerance, hypertension, dyslipidemia).
For women who don't want to become pregnant, birth control pills can regulate menstrual cycles, reduce male hormone levels, and help to clear acne.
Cosmetic treatment of facial hirsutism with electroepilation and laser hair removal has also been studied and found to be beneficial.
Reproductive Medicine.
Hormone treatment to suppress ovarian activity is a reasonable choice if the patient does not want to conceive now, and is having problems with excessive hair growth.

How i got a cure for PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome).
ReplyDeleteI actually promised myself that i will do this because i never in life thought i would be cured of PCOS because my gynecologist told me there was no cure and because of this i could not take in and get pregnant. I had PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) for 7 years and this was a big pain to me and my husband due to the downcast we felt for not having a child. I experienced irregular periods or no periods at all sometimes, heavy periods, i gained weight (fat). I seeked a cure from one doctor to the other used androgen, clomiphene, metformin and even traveled to different states to see other doctors to no avail. My husband got to know about Dr. ALeta via a testimony he read on the internet on how a woman got a cure and he contacted her with the contact she left. I got the herbal medication and used it for the speculated 3 months that was all i have a son who is just 8 months old. Do not give up just contact her on (aletedwin@gmail.com) on how to get the herbal medication. Thanks and i wish you get cured soon too.
Natural therapy like acupuncture is one of the best way to get rid of pcos.
