Introduction to Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

The female body is very fragile. Compared with the male body, the female body contains fewer muscles and is not as strong. It is easy to be troubled by diseases caused by external or internal factors. Gynecological diseases in women are the primary factor threatening women's health. Polycystic ovary syndrome is a serious gynecological disease that threatens women's health. Women need to pay great attention to this. Let's take a look at the introduction below.

Polycystic ovary syndrome is a syndrome of endocrine disorders characterized by infrequent ovulation or anovulation, hyperandrogenism or insulin resistance, and polycystic ovaries. Symptoms include oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea, chronic anovulation, infertility, hirsutism and acne. Due to continued anovulation, in severe cases, the endometrium may overproliferate, increasing the risk of endometrial cancer. The choice of treatment options is very complex and varies according to different symptom improvement and fertility requirements. Requires long-term attention.

Obesity and insulin resistance

Increase exercise to lose weight, correct endocrine and metabolic disorders aggravated by obesity, reduce insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia, reduce IGF-1, increase IGfBP-1, and at the same time increase SHBG to reduce free androgen levels. Weight loss can restore ovulation in some obese women with PCOS and prevent the occurrence of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Metformin treatment can be used for patients with or without diabetes. It can effectively reduce body weight, improve insulin sensitivity, lower insulin levels, reduce hair loss, and even restore menstruation (25%) and ovulation. Since obesity and insulin resistance are the main causes of PCOS, any drug that can reduce weight and increase insulin sensitivity can treat this syndrome.

The onset of polycystic ovary syndrome is a manifestation of a physiological problem in women, which means that women need to re-examine their bodies. It is best to go to a relevant medical institution for a detailed examination. If it is confirmed that polycystic ovary syndrome is present, treatment should be sought immediately to prevent it from worsening and threatening women's lives.
