What is PCOS?
Polycystic ovary syndrome is a disorder that occurs due to hormonal imbalance. People with PCOS develop numerous cysts in their ovaries and may also suffer irregular or skipped periods. They may also experience difficulty in getting pregnant. It has been related to obesity and insulin resistance.
PCOS and fertility
Many women who come to the gynaecologist with infertility issues suffer from PCOS. The cysts in the ovaries can interfere with ovulation. Ovulation is the process in which your ovaries release an egg each month. If a healthy egg isn’t released, it is not available to be fertilized by a sperm, and therefore you can’t get pregnant.
PCOS diagnosis
Your doctor might recommend a physical examination, blood tests, and an ultra sound to check for PCOS.
How to prevent PCOS
PCOS can be prevented by making a few changes in your lifestyle like:-
- Weight loss
- Low-calorie diet
- A fitness program
- Medications to address the hormonal imbalance
- Infertility medication in case the couple is trying to get pregnant
PCOS is not to be taken lightly. It can occur to young people who are not married as well as to older people. If not addressed and treated, it could lead to other complications like high blood pressure, diabetes, gestational diabetes, and cholesterol. With a little help and a lifestyle change, PCOS can be treated effectively.
