Why does polycystic ovary cause insulin resistance?

The treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome is very important for patients, because this disease will seriously affect women's fertility. However, during treatment, some patients will produce antibodies to insulin, which affects the effect of treatment. Therefore, we should understand the reasons that lead to polycystic ovary and insulin antibodies, so that we can solve it correctly.

1. People with polycystic ovary syndrome are ten times more likely to develop diabetes

Congenital defect in insulin utilization, called "insulin resistance", is widely recognized and supported by the medical community. According to US statistics, PCOS patients are 10 times more likely to have type 2 diabetes than normal women.

2. What is insulin resistance?

People with insulin resistance need to use more insulin than the average person to maintain normal blood sugar, so they will have hyperinsulinemia. Because hyperinsulinemia causes abnormal carbohydrate metabolism and fat metabolism, which leads to high blood lipids and fat accumulation, people with polycystic ovary are prone to obesity.

3. The important influence of polycystic insulin resistance

Polycystic ovary syndrome is resistant to the effects of insulin, causing abnormal sugar metabolism, abnormal fat metabolism, and abnormal ovarian hormone secretion, which will produce various changes and increase the chances of developing diabetes and cardiovascular disease in the future. Therefore, the symptoms of insulin resistance include glucose intolerance, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, obesity, metabolic syndrome, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, infertility, miscarriage, and gestational diabetes. Therefore, in addition to causing ovarian dysfunction, it will cause changes in the body's metabolic function, so it is very important to understand the insulin resistance of patients with polycystic ovary.
