Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

Description

Few, odd, or unusually long periods are symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome. It frequently leads to having too much androgen, a masculine hormone. On the ovaries, numerous tiny fluid-filled sacs form. They might not consistently release eggs. Although the precise origin of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is uncertain, aberrant hormone levels are likely to be a contributing factor.

What problems might PCOS cause? Certain significant health issues are more likely to affect women with PCOS. These include uterine cancer, high blood pressure, heart and blood vessel issues, type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure. PCOS patients frequently experience difficulties getting pregnant (fertility). Your ovaries expand and contain several fluid-filled sacs (follicles) that surround the eggs if you have polycystic ovaries (but despite the name, you do not actually have cysts if you have PCOS)

Treatments

The management of your concerns is the main goal of PCOS treatment. This could involve obesity, hirsutism, acne, or infertility. Depending on the condition, medication or lifestyle changes may be necessary.

alterations in way of life

Your doctor could advise losing weight by following a low-calorie diet and engaging in moderate exercise. Your disease might become better with even a small weight loss, like 5% of your body weight. Losing weight can assist with infertility and may increase the effectiveness of PCOS medications prescribed by your doctor. You can decide on the ideal weight-loss strategy with the help of your doctor and a registered dietitian.

Medications

tablets that combine birth control. Estrogen and progestin-containing pills reduce androgen production and control oestrogen. By balancing your hormones, you can reduce your chance of endometrial cancer and get rid of acne, unwanted hair growth, and irregular bleeding.
