World of women.
So any one heard of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)?
I'm sure a lot of young ladies are living with such syndrome undiagnosed, well it's nothing to worry about.
What is PCOS.?
It is a condition that affects a woman's hormonal levels. Women with PCOS produce higher-than-normal amounts of male hormones. This hormone imbalance causes them to skip menstrual periods and makes it harder for them to get pregnant. They usually have beards, hair growth in unusual place like that of the male. PCOS affects a woman’s ovaries, the reproductive organs that produce estrogen and progesterone — hormones that regulate the menstrual cycle. The ovaries also produce a small amount of male hormones called androgens. Extra male hormones disrupt the menstrual cycle, so women with PCOS get fewer periods than usual, some don't get to see their period at all.
What can be done to stop PCOS?
Taking estrogen and progestin daily can restore a normal hormone balance, regulate ovulation, relieve symptoms like excess hair growth, and protect against endometrial cancer. These hormones come in a pill, patch, or vaginal ring. Drugs used to cure diabetes can also be used to correct this disorder.
Hair removal medicines can be used to reduce the growth of hair. Surgery can be an option to improve fertility if other treatments don’t work. Ovarian drilling is a procedure that makes tiny holes in the ovary with a laser or thin heated needle to restore normal ovulation.
As you can see PCOS is a condition that can be well taken care of, don't worry, you'll see those toddlers you've always dreamt of!
