Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an hormone imbalance and is characterized by changes to the ovaries such that multiple follicles accumulate in the ovaries without ovulation. The principal function of ovary is production of an egg each month for ovulation and production of all hormones necessary for reproduction. The ovary fails to expel the matured eggs in PCOS and a small amount of fluid begins to accumulate inside the immature follicles to form multiple cysts. But its not necessary that all such cysts are harmful and need not be removed.
| PCOS usually happens when the LH levels or the insulin levels are too high, which results in extra testosterone production by the ovary. The main concerns of this condition are excess body hair growth, acne, occasionally baldness, and often obesity, diabetes hypertension and infertility due to an ovulation, irregular and heavy menstrual bleeding problems, endometrial hyperplasia and even endometrial cancer. Patients are also thought to be at increased risk for premature heart attacks and cardiac disease due to weight and diabetes. |

For curing and preventing any disease, a healthy lifestyle is very important, including a healthy eating and daily exercise. In PCOS consuming Karela is quite effective. It reduces fasting & postprandial blood glucose without increasing insulin & appears to enhance tissue sensitivity to insulin. Fenugreek reduces fasting blood glucose without increasing insulin. Whereas exercise enhances tissue sensitivity to insulin as 80% of the body’s insulin mediated glucose uptake occurs in muscles.
Though it is lesser known that PCOS can be hereditary, but when it is passed down the man's side of the family, the men are not infertile. In fact they have a tendency to become bald early in life, before the age of 30.
