Managing Your PCOS and Its Complications

The hormonal balance of a person plays an important role in regulating the working of various organs including the reproductive organs. When there is a hormonal imbalance the sex hormones are out of sync and hence the reproductive organs malfunction. The Polycystic Ovary Syndrome or PCOS is a condition in women arising due to the hormonal imbalance.

What happens during PCOS?

When the hormonal balance is disturbed, the regulatory hormones begin to malfunction causing the ovaries to produce greater amounts of androgen (the male hormones) in the uterus. The excess release of androgen halts the ovulation in a woman and hence causes the irregular or missed menstruation cycles. Sometimes, women may also develop insulin resistance as the body loses its capacity to use the insulin. This shoots up the blood sugar levels and hence may result in diabetes in the long run.

What causes PCOS?

The PCOS is caused due to hormonal imbalance in women. The cause of this imbalance is unclear and is generally attributed to emotional well being of the woman or genetics in the family.

Symptoms of PCOS:

With an increase in Androgen hormone, the facial hair growth is accelerated. This may sometimes cause women to grow thick dark hair on belly, chest, or face. Some women may also observe pigmentation of skin or acne on the face.

  • The scalp hair volume comes down drastically.

  • Women often experience difficulty in retaining a healthy weight. The weight gain or decline is fast and difficult to reverse.

  • Hormonal imbalance causes mood swings and depression-like symptoms. This may sometimes aggravate the situation and contribute to further imbalance.

  • Women suffering from PCOS are known to suffer from fertility issues because the absence of ovulation causes hindrance in the conception process.

Options for Treatment:

During a diagnosis of the hormone levels, if the PCOS is confirmed, the doctor may first suggest going on a diet to bring your weight into the normal range.

A typical treatment includes the prescription of hormone pills for balancing the excess androgen secretion. Sometimes, diabetic medicines are also prescribed to overcome the insulin resistance in the women. You may also be adviced to indulge in regular exercise to regulate the secretion of hormones. In rare cases, the cysts may have to be removed surgically to make way for fresh matured eggs from the fallopian tubes.

The consequences of using the conventional methods of treatment for PCOS may have a lasting side effect in the form of diabetes, and uterine cancers. Alternate natural treatment helps you tide over the condition minus the side effects.
