POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME (PCOS) || Signs, Symptoms & WHY THEY OCCUR (Ep9)

PCOS is a hormonal condition affecting approximately 10% of women in their reproductive age group and is a major contributor to female infertility. In today's insightful episode, we'll delve into the complex world of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, commonly known as PCOS. If you or someone you know is dealing with irregular menstrual cycles, excessive male-pattern hair growth, and enlarged ovaries, this video is a must-watch. The causes of PCOS are insulin resistance, which can lead to elevated androgen production, and excessive androgen production, which can impact estrogen levels and ovulation. PCOS cannot be prevented, but its effects can be mitigated through lifestyle changes, such as exercise, diet, and weight management. Medical treatment for PCOS includes oral contraceptives, metformin, clomid, and gonadotropins. Reduction of excessive hair can be achieved through shaving creams, laser treatment, and medications. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to restore ovulation. #pcos #polycysticovarysyndrome #womenshealth #infertility #lifestylechanges #medicaltreatment #diabetes #insulin #insulinresistance Don't forget to turn on the bell icon to stay notified about our weekly videos every Monday.
