PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) is a condition that will affect many women, in their millions, around the word. Since its discovery in the 18th century, PCOS treatments can be described as primitive. In the mid 1930s, however, Michael Leventhal and Irving Stein brought us closer to understanding this condition. Their immense contributions to learning more about the illness led to the coining of Stein-Leventhal Syndrome for the illness. Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is growth of cysts in the ovaries. There are different levels and types of complications of this condition, leading to the assignment of various other names for it. If a woman has enlarge polycystic ovaries and he may have missed some of her menstrual periods, she may be experiencing the beginnings of the syndrome.
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.
Anyone who has PCOS will also experience a number of complications because of it. As a result, the treatment of this condition has been made to concentrate of various things, not only on one. Since the ovarian cysts are the growths involved, one possible complication that is most dreaded by people is infertility. This would require a special form of surgery to be performed. This syndrome could also bring about heart complications, and the person could also suffer from high blood pressure. During treatment, these complications should be assessed and evaluated. The doctors would also consider skin problems associated with the syndrome as well as cancer. PCOS, in and of itself, is not harmful; however, the complications, if left unheeded, could very well lead to worse problems and even death.
Prevention is better than cure, or so they say. But no matter how careful we are or how many preventive measures we put in place, there are still some illnesses that will affect us. The same applies to PCOS, especially when you consider that the no solid evidence exists to support why a woman will get the illness.
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.
