What is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome?

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is the most common hormonal disorder among women. One in fifteen women between 20-and 40 years old suffers from this syndrome, while one in three women has at least one of the hormonal symptoms that refer to it! Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is a group of symptoms with varying degrees in their manifestation and is associated with ovarian dysfunction. It is a series of complex processes or a combination of morphological and histological changes in the ovaries leading to endocrine disorders. This creates complexity and difficulty both in the causal and the therapeutic approach. Theories that have been developed vary and refer to the entire endocrine system. Finally, it could be considered a condition with familial status since it usually occurs in women of the same family.

Conditions

  • Ultrasonographic criteria substantiate the polycystic morphology of the ovaries.
  • Menstruation disorders: irregular or absent menstruation.
  • Hyperandrogenism: acne or hirsutism of the face, chest, abdomen, thighs and hyperandrogenism biochemically substantiated.
  • Obesity

What are the symptoms of Polycystic Ovaries?

The symptoms associated with the syndrome are usually typical. However, the scientific community has accepted that when a woman has two of the following symptoms, she is considered to have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.

  • Ultrasonographic criteria substantiate polycystic morphology of the ovaries.
  • Menstruation disorders: irregular or absent menstruation.
  • Hyperandrogenism: acne or hirsutism of the face, chest, abdomen, thighs and hyperandrogenism biochemically substantiated.
  • Obesity

Is there a cure for Polycystic Ovaries?

Treatment of the syndrome aims to protect women from the constant action of estrogen and, therefore, the increased risk of endometrial and breast carcinoma in the future. In women who do not wish for a pregnancy, the appropriate treatment is the administration of birth control pills, and when it coexists with hirsutism, antiandrogens will be jointly administered. Women who desire to become pregnant are prescribed a specialist pharmaceutical treatment that enhances the growth of ovarian follicles and hence ovulation. Surgical treatment of the syndrome is also an acceptable method of use and is usually conducted laparoscopically.

Are there any natural remedies for Polycystic Ovaries?
