PCOS, or the Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, affects millions of women all over the world every year. It was during the 18th century when this was first discovered. Until the mid 1930s, when Irving Stein and Michael Leventhal conducted studies that made us understand more about the condition, treatments for PCOS were, at best, primitive. Their immense contributions to learning more about the illness led to the coining of Stein-Leventhal Syndrome for the illness. Basically, the Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome involves the growth of cysts in the ovaries of women. The condition has other names that will be used to describe the particular level and type of complication of the syndrome. It is possible that the syndrome is besetting a woman if she has noticed skips in her menstrual periods and enlargement of her polycystic ovaries.
Although growth of ovarian cysts is quite common among most women, the variation lies in the intensity of the condition. The same thing could be said about the other complications that come with the syndrome. Women will mostly have the same symptoms, although there are others who may manifest more symptoms than the rest. These include skin that is oily, missed or irregular menstrual circles, acne, change in skin pigment and hair. It is the natural response of most people to immediately assume that the symptoms can be traced to Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. But that is still to be proven. However, it has already been established that the syndrome is caused by issues of irregularity on the menstrual cycles and insulin resistance, as well as the extreme increase of androgen levels.
You may notice that PCOS treatments are not solely concerned on addressing one issue at a time. That is because PCOS comes with a few other complications that cannot be avoided once it affects a person. Worst case scenario: the cysts on the ovaries could ultimately lead to making the woman infertile. This process will need the woman to undergo a special surgery. High blood pressure and various other heart problems are also possible complications for anyone who has PCOS. That too will also be under observation during treatment. The doctors would also be on guard regarding possible skin problems and, in some cases, even cancer. PCOS does not really pose any dangers; it is the complications you should watch out for. Make sure you address the complications, otherwise they could result to more problems, including death.
Preventive measures have been referred to as our best defense against diseases. Still, there are certain diseases that are so persistent that no amount of preventive measures would keep them from getting to us. One such illness is PCOS. After all, we could not really pinpoint any solid evidence as to the cause of the illness affecting a woman.
Nevertheless, when you look at the kind of lifestyle that many women lead today, you can deduce the probable chances of a woman having PCOS. Another condition that could still spring despite the presence of preventive measures is endometrium cancer. You can prevent this from escalating further by adapting some positive changes to your lifestyle and by eating right. Issues of diabetes, heart disease, obesity, blood pressures, are things that a woman can address by adjusting her lifestyle and embrace as effective alternatives of PCOS treatments.
