Polycystic o***y syndrome (PCOS) is a health problem that affects 1 in 10 women of childbearing age. Women with PCOS have a hormonal imbalance and metabolism problems that may affect their overall health and appearance. PCOS is also a common and treatable cause of infertility.
What is polycystic o***y syndrome (PCOS)?
Polycystic o***y syndrome (PCOS), also known as polycystic ovarian syndrome, is a common health problem caused by an imbalance of reproductive hormones. The hormonal imbalance creates problems in the ovaries. The ovaries make the egg that is released each month as part of a healthy menstrual cycle. With PCOS, the egg may not develop as it should or it may not be released during ovulation as it should be.
PCOS can cause missed or irregular menstrual periods. Irregular periods can lead to:
Infertility (inability to get pregnant). In fact, PCOS is one of the most common causes of infertility in women.
Development of cysts (small fluid-filled sacs) in the ovaries.
What are the symptoms of PCOS?
Some of the symptoms of PCOS include:
1)Irregular menstrual cycle. Women with PCOS may miss periods or have fewer periods (fewer than eight in a year). Or, their periods may come every 21 days or more often. Some women with PCOS stop having menstrual periods.
2)Too much hair on the face, chin, or parts of the body where men usually have hair. This is called "hirsutism." Hirsutism affects up to 70% of women with PCOS.
3)Acne on the face, chest, and upper back.
4)Thinning hair or hair loss on the scalp; male-pattern baldness.
5)Weight gain or difficulty losing weight.
6)Darkening of skin, particularly along neck creases, in the groin, and underneath breasts this is called āacanthosis nigricansā.
7) Insulin Resistance.
Role of Homoeopathy ?
Research has shown that polycystic ovarian syndrome treatment in homeopathy offers better results when compared to conventional treatment. The root cause of PCOS lies in the hormonal disturbance. Homeopathy corrects this hormonal disturbance and brings about harmony, without the risk of side-effects. It also helps to avoid the use of surgical procedures, while bringing about regularization of menstrual cycles, thereby increasing the chances of conception.
